Underwater Earthquakes are formed when two tectonic plates move together and create what is like a tsunami but not the same. It is like an erathquake on land but it is underwater.

They are underwater only because they occur in or below the Continental Shelf, part of the continent submerged and planed nearly level by sea-level rise following the end of Ice Age cold phases.
What else can I help you with?
Can hurricanes and earthquakes happen underwater?
Hurricanes do not form underwater, as they require warm ocean water. Earthquakes can certainly occur underwater, known as underwater earthquakes, and can trigger tsunamis due to the displacement of water.
What are 3 underwater names that can cause tsunamis?
Underwater landslides, Underwater volcanic eruptions, and Underwater earthquakes
Can you have earthquakes under water?
Yes, earthquakes can occur underwater, causing what is known as a tsunami. These underwater earthquakes are typically caused by the shifting of tectonic plates beneath the ocean floor. The resulting seismic waves can generate powerful underwater disturbances that propagate to the surface.
Underwater earthquakes may cause which of the following?
Tsunamis' can be formed after an undersea earthquake.
What time does tsunami usually occur?
Tsunamis can occur at any time of day or night, but they are more likely to happen following an earthquake or underwater volcanic eruption. Tsunamis are most common in the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire." It is important to have an early warning system in place to mitigate the impact of a tsunami.
Can hurricanes and earthquakes happen underwater?
Hurricanes do not form underwater, as they require warm ocean water. Earthquakes can certainly occur underwater, known as underwater earthquakes, and can trigger tsunamis due to the displacement of water.
Can earthquakes happen underwater?
Of course! In fact, underwater earthquakes are a major cause of tsunamis.
Do all countreis have earthquakes?
Yes, but most happen underwater.
Can earthquakes happen under water?
Yes, earthquakes can happen underwater. When an earthquake occurs beneath the ocean, it can cause a tsunami if the magnitude is strong enough to displace a significant amount of water. Underwater earthquakes are monitored by seismologists to assess the potential risk of tsunamis.
What are 3 underwater names that can cause tsunamis?
Underwater landslides, Underwater volcanic eruptions, and Underwater earthquakes
What is a underwater earthquake?
An underwater earthquake is a seismic event that occurs beneath the Earth's surface in the ocean. These earthquakes can result in the movement of tectonic plates, which can generate tsunamis due to the displacement of water. Underwater earthquakes are monitored using seismometers and can vary in magnitude and impact.
Could earthquakes occur underwater?
Yes, they do.
Are any natural disasters related?
Tsunamis are related to earthquakes in that earthquakes happen underwater, creating Tsunamis. Volcanoes are somewhat related to earthquakes in that some warning signs of volcanoes are tiny earthquakes, created by the movement of magma and the swelling of the volcano. Other than that, I don't think so.
Can earthquakes happen today?
Yes. Earthquakes happen every day.
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.
Underwater earthquakes of a great magnitude can create what?
tsunamis
Can you have earthquakes under water?
Yes, earthquakes can occur underwater, causing what is known as a tsunami. These underwater earthquakes are typically caused by the shifting of tectonic plates beneath the ocean floor. The resulting seismic waves can generate powerful underwater disturbances that propagate to the surface.
