Is there a relationship between global warming and natural phenomena like earthquakes tsunamis and volcanic eruptions?
All these phenomena can emit some carbon dioxide emissions. (Not very much. Human activity is responsible for 100 times the amount of carbon dioxide that comes from volcanic eruptions.) However, carbon dioxide does add to the enhanced greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
The other side of the story is that dust and other airborne particulates from volcano eruptions have a cooling effect for some days, as the ash cloud blocks heat from the sun.

Do tsunami s have aftershocks?
No, tsunamis do not have aftershocks. Aftershocks are typically associated with earthquakes and are smaller earthquakes that follow the main event. Tsunamis are large ocean waves usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions.
What are 3 underwater names that can cause tsunamis?
Underwater landslides, Underwater volcanic eruptions, and Underwater earthquakes
Why are lots of earthquakes and tsunamis happening?
Earthquakes and tsunamis occur due to movement of the Earth's tectonic plates. When these plates shift or collide, it can result in seismic activity such as earthquakes. Tsunamis, on the other hand, are often caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions that displace a large volume of water.
What is the most common cause of tsunamis?
Tsunami are waves caused by sudden movement of the ocean due to earthquakes, landslides on the sea floor, land slumping into the ocean, large volcanic eruptions or meteorite impact in the ocean.
Is a tsunami a type of weather?
No, tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or asteroid impacts, which then displace a massive amount of water, in the form of multiple tsunami waves. Earthquakes, volcanoes, and asteroids have nothing to do with the weather.
Are tsunamis connected to any other natural phenomena?
Yes. Tsunamis are often triggered by earthquakes.
Do all tsunamis start with earthquakes?
No. Tsunamis may be caused by landslides, volcanic eruptions and, on rare occasions, asteroid impacts.
How many other natural disasters are involved in tsunamis and why?
landslides, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
How do convergent and transform boundaries cause earthquakes?
It can cause earthquakes, volcanoes, oceanic trenches, mountains, tsunamis, and subduction.
Are earthquakes the only things that cause volcanic eruptions?
No. Eruptions are caused by magma moving up from the mantle. Earthquakes can be a sign of magma pushing the earth out of its way (causing the earthquake) which lead to the eruptions and potentially tsunamis.
Do tsunami s have aftershocks?
No, tsunamis do not have aftershocks. Aftershocks are typically associated with earthquakes and are smaller earthquakes that follow the main event. Tsunamis are large ocean waves usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions.
Where do catasrophic events result from processes that happen with the earth?
Earthquakes, volcano eruptions, floods, tsunamis, etc
What are 3 underwater names that can cause tsunamis?
Underwater landslides, Underwater volcanic eruptions, and Underwater earthquakes
Does Sweden have a lot of tsunamis volcanoes eruptions and earthquakes?
* No Sweden does not get tsunamis. * No Sweden does not have any live volcanoes to get volcano eruptions, closest volcanoes would be the once in the Eifel volcanic fields in Germany. * Yes Sweden do get earthquakes from time to time, but powerful earthquakes are very rare in Sweden, which lies on a thick and cold crust.

What are the main features of tsunamis?
a series of waves, produced by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, meteorite impact, or underwater landslides.
