earthquake's are not only powerful. But devastating and can cause mass destruction and kill alot of people.They have been known to make roads shift causing huge gaps so big they swallow cars. Earthquake's can happen at anytime.
An earthquake is caused when two techtonic plates collide causing friction which then causes them to slide away from eachother causing a huge jolt in the earth called and Earthquake.
Yes, the United States has experienced tsunamis. Most recently, a tsunami struck the Pacific coast of the United States in 1964 following a massive earthquake in Alaska. Tsunamis can result from undersea earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslide events that displace significant amounts of water.
A tsunami is a large wave caused by an earthquake, and as such it is not really a kind of weather, but it does have the capacity to get things wet, much like rain, only more so. Tsunamis are created when there is a huge explosion like an earthquake. Imagine that a rock is it the ripple rise and that represents the tsunami.
In 1934 there was a huge earthquake in Kathmandu, Nepal. It was estimated that around 20,000 human lives were taken.

the largest pumpkin has never been measured...
That would be a "kind of strong" earthquake but 8+ is huge.
A seismic activity is an earthquake... An earthquake is when the tectonic plates (under ground) clash together, which causes an earthquake. Earthquakes can be very small or huge depending on where the country is. They can kill thousands of people, knock down buildings and create huge cracks in the ground. They are measured on a Richter scale. :)
well think about the earthquake in haiti it was really bad and also if it's a 8.9 out of 10 that's REALLY REALLY strong...so um yeah it was like a huge wall of water coming over the cities and messing up with the electrical stuff and blowing up up the power plant and causing major explosions
