Tsunami?
When an earthquake occurs where a slab of the ocean floor is displaced vertically along a fault.
Why did the Japan tsunami happen?
The 2011 Japan tsunami was triggered by a massive undersea earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0, causing a sudden uplift of the ocean floor. This abrupt movement displaced a large volume of water, resulting in the tsunami waves that devastated the coastline of Japan.
Which of the following could cause a Tsunami?
A earthquake on a sea floor
Why did the japan tsunami hit?
Because of the giant earthquake. The big earthquake that happened in Japan this year was near the coast. That means part of it was underwater. Tsunamis can be generated when the sea floor suddenly deforms and affects the water over it. Tectonic earthquakes are a kind of earthquake that are associated with the earth's crust being messed up; when these earthquakes happen beneath the ocean, the water above the earthquake-y area is messed up. Waves are formed as the displaced water attempts to regain its former peacefulness. When large areas of the sea floor become earthquake-y, a tsunami can form.

Is floor spreading an earthquake?
No.
A sea wave that is created when the sea floor slips after an underwater earthquake?
The succession of waves is called a tsunami.
Can an earthquake on the ocean floor produce a tornado?
No, an earthquake on the ocean floor can cause a tsunami (a series of large waves). Earthquakes do not influence weather events such as tornadoes.
What caused the tsunami to happen?
An earthquake beneath the Ocean floor.

Can you feel seismic waves if you are sitting on the floor during an earthquaKE?
maybe; the more powerful the earthquake, the more likely you are to feel it.
What is a large wave created by an earthquake on the ocean floor?
A tsunami is an ocean wave caused by an earthquake.It is not a tidal wave.
Can you feel an earthquake on the first floor everyone i know who is living on the second floor and higher felt the earthquake but i live on the first floor and felt nothing?
Yes, it is possible to not feel an earthquake on the first floor while others on higher floors do feel it. The perception of earthquakes can vary depending on the building's structure, proximity to the epicenter, and personal sensitivity. In some cases, people on the lower floors may not sense smaller tremors as strongly as those on higher floors.
