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.
Describe the relationship between tsunami and plate tectonic?
The collision of tectonic plates causes earthquakes. When one place slides below the other plate beneath the ocean floor, this rapid movement of the plates forced the ocean floor and water upward. The energy was then transmitted across the ocean, causing huge tsunami waves.
What tectonic plates were involved in the Asian tsunami 2004 and how did they move?
The two plates involved in the Japan Tsunami were the Pacific and North American Tectonic plates.pertaining to the structure of the earth's crust.Dictionary definition of Tectonicreferring to the forces or conditions within the earth thatcause movements of the crust.
What plate tectonic is chaiten volcano on?
It erupted because two tectonic plates met which causes an eruption !!!
Is the Indian ocean tsunami convergent or divergent or transform?
The Indian Ocean tsunami was caused by a convergent boundary, specifically where the Indo-Australian Plate subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. The sudden displacement of water from the seafloor due to the tectonic movement resulted in a massive tsunami that devastated coastal regions.
What are the causes of tsunami which was hit by japan?
The sudden movement of the Pacific tectonic plate under the North American plate caused a massive earthquake and a tsunami.
What are the environmental causes of a Tsunami?
Tsunamis are most commonly the result of plate shifting and earthquakes. This is why tsunami's are more common along areas of tectonic stress.

What is a giant wave caused by tectonic plate activity in Japan?
A Tsunami

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.
What two natural disasters come from plate tectonic movements?
Earth quakes and tsunami (also volcanoes)

What kind of plate tectonic causes earthquakes?
Transform boundary
What ocean causes the most tsunamis and why?
Pacific: it has a lot more live volcanic activity and tectonic plate motion which increases underwater earthquakes and other phenomena that cause the tsunami. See the related question below.
How does the movement of tectonic plates cause deformation in rocks?
the plate tectonics can have contact with one another and cause earthquakes, and tsunami's
