Which of the following could cause a Tsunami?
A earthquake on a sea floor
Has an earthquake ever caused a tsunami?
Earthquakes can cause tsunamis, along with landslides and volcanic activity in the sea. Practically any disturbance in the ocean can cause a tsunami, and most major tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
What are the three causes of a tsunami?
Tsunami waves can be caused by a major earthquake or landslide on the sea flow. Another cause is from the land slumping into the ocean or a large volcanic eruption.
Can a tsunami cause a volcanic eruption?
If a volcano blows apart a a large piece slides into the sea a large wave (tsunami) will be created. When Cumbre Vieja in La Palma eventually collapses into the Atlantic it could generate a 2000 feet high wave rushing across the Atlantic at 500 mph.
Can a tsunami effect a boat that is out to sea?
Yes, a tsunami can affect a boat that is out to sea by causing large and powerful waves that can toss the boat around, potentially causing damage or capsizing. Boats at sea are vulnerable to the powerful force of tsunami waves due to their size and the energy of the water mass moving beneath them.
Which of the following could cause a Tsunami?
A earthquake on a sea floor
Does an earthquake always mean an tsunami?
No, Only earthquakes which cause changes to sea floor topography result in tsunami.
Who fault in the Persian war?
It was my fault i jumped in the sea and it cause a tsunami...
What can sometimes happen when there is an earthquake under the sea?
this would cause a tsunami

What can result if an earthquake causes a sudden vertical change in the sea floor?
A sudden vertical change in the sea floor during an earthquake can result in a tsunami. The movement of the sea floor displaces a large volume of water, which then forms powerful and destructive ocean waves that can travel long distances and cause widespread damage to coastal regions.
What changes are likely to happen when ocean waves meet with land?
It can cause a Tsunami a huge sea wave.
What are the three causes of a tsunami?

When is a tsunami mostlikely to occur?
after a big event at sea, ie a earthquake or i guess a really powerful nuke could perhaps cause one? the waves of a tsunami wont look too big at sea so don't try and go fart in the sea.
What connections are their between earthquake and tsunami?
Earthquakes are natural phenomena that cause a sudden and violent shaking of the ground. An earthquake at sea often causes a tsunami, which is a big tidal wave.
What is a huge sea wave caused by undersea earthquake?
a tsunami is a tidal wave caused by an underwater earthquake :]
Does the impact of a tsunami become less severe as the days go by?
Yes. As days go by, the swell at sea surface level is spread wider and thinner, otherwise tsunami would keep going forever!!! Other factors should be considered, however, such as the depth of the sea bed around land masses in the path of the tsunami that would cause the swell to rise over the coastlines. Also, the gravity of the moon that causes normal tides may have some slight disipatory influence.
