How are tsunamis related to plate tectonics?
Tsunamis are often triggered by underwater earthquakes, which are caused by the movement of tectonic plates along fault lines. When a plate suddenly shifts, it can displace a large volume of water and generate a tsunami. This connection between tectonic plate movement and seismic activity is why tsunami-prone regions are often located near tectonic plate boundaries.
Is a tsunami a tectonic hazards?
Um... not sure what you mean by 'tectonic harzards' however, a tsunami IS caused by tectonic plates. As the plates move, if an earthquake appears underwater, a lot of water will be displaced. The water will rush away from the area where the earthquake occured. When it hits land a tsunami appears. Hope that helps.
What 5 steps cause an earthquake?
Tectonic Plates, Volcano eruption, tsunami, and thats all i can think of soz ....
What events occur when the tectonic plates move and grind against each other?
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.
What are tectonic plates and plate boundaries?
Tectonic plates are plates underneath the ground we stand on that help to form the structure of the earth, when two tectonic plates colide they create terrains such as mountains. they have also been known to cause some Tsunami's.
Relationship between green house effect and tsunami?
None
How does tsunami erupt?
well there are tectonic plates at the end of the sea and then one of those tectonic plates go up and a tsunami will erupt?
How are earthquake and a tsunami related?
tectonic plates

What is the difference between a tsunmi and an earthquake?
the difference between a tsunami and an earth quake is an earthquake is when the tectonic plates collide in some form a tsunami is an underwater earthquake that creates a huge tidal wave. that is very basic but i hope it helps!
How the Japan Tsunami started?
The tsunami happened because the tectonic plates slipped causing a water displacement.

Was the tsunami in japan strong?
No "strong" is not an appropriate adjective to describe a tsunami.
What is a giant wave caused by tectonic plate activity in Japan?
A Tsunami
Which feature do you see when tectonic plates move apart?
Earthquakes and Tsunami.
What is the relationship between Tsunami that hit Samoa and severe weather?
There is none. Tsunamis are not a weather-related phenomenon.
What do you call the plates that cause tsunami's?
They are called tectonic plates. See the related question below for more information about the causes of tsunami.
