What else can I help you with?
What are the main causes of natural disasters?
Weather [hurricanes, tornadoes, floods], volcanoes, earthquakes, avalanches, tidal waves (tsunamis), and fire
Do shock waves cause tsunamis?
No. Tsunamis are caused by a large movement of mass. In most cases it is related to an undersea earthquake that cause portions of the sea floor to move up or down. Some tsunamis are triggered by landslides.
Tsunamis are what?
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
What causes tsunamis floods?
No. Tsunamis are classified as huge tidal waves. Tsunamis cause floods when the waves hit the shore and the water rushes inland.
Can meteorite cause a tsunami?
No, meteorites cannot cause tsunamis. Tsunamis are typically generated by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Although a meteorite impact into the ocean could create a large splash or waves locally, it would not generate the widespread and long-duration waves associated with tsunamis.
What are the main causes of natural disasters?
Weather [hurricanes, tornadoes, floods], volcanoes, earthquakes, avalanches, tidal waves (tsunamis), and fire
What are four ways the earthquakes cause damage?
It is Tsunamis, Aftershocks, Liquefaction, and Shaking.
Do all tsunamis have huge waves that do a lot of damage?
No. Tsunamis and tidal waves are actually quite different. True tidal waves are just that - tidal waves. Tsunamis are usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, volcanoes or nearby seismic activity.
What are some natural effects of earthquakes?
Rupturing of soil, ground Soil liquefaction Fires Landslides Avalanches Tidal forces/waves Tsunamis Floods Loss of life, shelter, etc...
Do tsunamis create hurricanes?
No, tsunamis are created by undersea earthquakes. Sometimes a hurricane may cause very rough seas and create large waves, but tsunamis are a different disaster.
Do shock waves cause tsunamis?
No. Tsunamis are caused by a large movement of mass. In most cases it is related to an undersea earthquake that cause portions of the sea floor to move up or down. Some tsunamis are triggered by landslides.
The cause of normal waves but not tsunamis?
the normal waves are produced due to the attractional or gravitational force between the earth and the moon but the tsunamis are caused due to the movement of the tectonic plates undet the ocean.
What percent of volcanoes cause tidal waves?
no volcanoes cause tidal waves - the plates create land. earthquakes, however, do make tidal waves and tsunamis in the aftermath. look that up instead.
How do sunamis work?
its spelled tsunamis, and they are commonly caused by underwater earthquakes that cause massive waves.
Tsunamis are what?
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
What causes tsunamis floods?
No. Tsunamis are classified as huge tidal waves. Tsunamis cause floods when the waves hit the shore and the water rushes inland.
What waves cause damage to property?
Tsunamis, storm surges, and rogue waves are examples of waves that can cause damage to property. Tsunamis are large ocean waves typically caused by undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, storm surges are abnormally high tides driven by strong winds during severe storms, and rogue waves are unexpectedly large and powerful waves that can occur even in seemingly calm conditions.
