How do hurricanes cause tsunamis and fires?
Hurricanes do not directly cause tsunamis. Tsunamis are typically triggered by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Regarding fires, hurricanes can disrupt power lines, leading to sparks that can ignite fires. Strong winds can also spread fires by carrying burning debris.
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 examples of natural disasters are?
Hurricanes, earthquakes, wild fires, tsunamis - things that nature control.
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.
Types of natural disasters?
Some types of natural disasters include earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, wildfires, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. These events can cause widespread destruction and have serious impacts on communities and the environment.

Do tsunamis cause earthquakes?
Earthquakes are one (but not the only) cause of tsunamis.
What is the effect of the earthquake?
They cause tsunamis
Why all tsunamis don't cause earthquakes?
Tsunamis do not not cause earthquakes at all. Tsunamis are usually the result of an undersea earthquake.

Are earthquakes below the surface called tsunamis?
Mo, they are known as earthquakes but the earthquakes cause the tsunamis.
Why are tsunamis associated with earthquakes?
Well, earthquakes do cause tsunamis. But only underwater earthquakes. Plus, they have to be a transform plate boundary earthquake(caused by subduction).Any displacement of water will cause a tsunami. In short, some underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis.
Are tsunamis and earthquake related?
Absolutely. Earthquakes can cause tsunamis, just like with Indonesia back in 2004.
What can an earthquake cause in terms of damage and destruction?
An earthquake can cause damage and destruction by shaking the ground, collapsing buildings, triggering landslides, and disrupting infrastructure such as roads and bridges. It can also lead to fires, tsunamis, and other secondary hazards that can further worsen the impact on communities.
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.
What is the cause of most residential fires?
Cooking/kitchen fires.
