The major ones result from sub-sea earthquakes in subduction zones.
Others can be triggered by major undersea mud-slides or volcanic eruptions.
The 19C eruption of Krakatoa (or Krakatau) raised a gigantic wave that raced right round the world, obviously diminishing rapidly with distance but creating terrible havoc in the region. The cause was a gigantic final blast that may have been from the magma chamber collapsing and sea-water suddenly quenching a huge volume of very hot rock and lava. However, I'm not sure if this can be called a tsunami.
What else can I help you with?
Can a tsunami take place in Goa?
Yes, tsunamis can occur in Goa, which is a coastal region. While they are not as common there as in other areas in the Pacific Ocean, Goa is still susceptible to tsunamis triggered by seismic activity in the Arabian Sea. It is important for residents and tourists in coastal areas like Goa to be prepared and informed about tsunami risks.
What do you need to do if tsunamis occur?
If a tsunami occurs, move to higher ground immediately and follow instructions from local authorities. Stay away from beaches and coastal areas until given the all-clear to return. Listen to emergency alerts and be prepared to evacuate if needed.
How do tsumanis form?
Tsunami's can be formed by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and rarely, a landslide or meteorite. When earthquakes start, most of the time, large areas on the ocean floor is suddenly elevated or subsided. All of the energy released from that pushes the water up and as more energy is released, more water comes up. And thus, it creates a tsunami. Volcanic eruptions can also cause earthquakes. Landslides are very rare. But when landslides do create a tsunami, it is referred to as a mega tsunami. And is a LOT more dangerous than a regular tsunami (not sure how much stronger). For a landslide to create a tsunami, you would need at least around 90 million tons of rock hitting the water simultaneously.
What a similar event would look like if a tsunami occurred on the west coast of the US?
If a tsunami were to occur on the west coast of the US, it could lead to devastating flooding in coastal cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle. The impact would depend on the size of the tsunami and the preparedness of the affected areas, but it could potentially cause widespread destruction to infrastructure and coastal communities. Emergency response efforts would need to be swift and coordinated to minimize loss of life and property damage.
Does it need to be raining for thunder and lightning to occur?
No, it doesn't need to rain for thunder and lightning to occur because the thunder and lightning need cold and warm air so they collide. The clouds are like big batteries and the lightning is the short circuit. also the lightning can be between the clouds and it doesn't strike down to the ground. also if the clouds have temperature conditions and it doesn't have to rain it just creates thunder and lightning.
What does a tsunami need in order to occur?
hey guys
What 3 factors need to be present for photosynetheis to occur?
Carbon dioxide, water and light.
Which two conditions need to be present for rusting to take place?
Air and water.

What does a tsunami need to keep going?
water
What supplies do you think you will need for a tsunami?
a house
What factors need to be present for infection to occur?
a pathogen (bacteria, virus, or other infecting agent), opportunity (a way in/on/out), and a host (for it to infect)
Why don't we get tsunamis?
Well, where do you live? If you live by the sea, you might have a rare chance of a tsunami. If you live inland, there is no need to be worried about a tsunami.
Which term describes processes that take place when there is no oxygen present?
Anaerobic processes occur when there is no oxygen present, such as in anaerobic respiration or fermentation. These processes result in the production of energy without the need for oxygen.
Does there need to be clouds to have a tornado?
No, tornadoes can occur with or without clouds present. Tornadoes are a column of rapidly rotating air in contact with the ground, typically formed from severe thunderstorms. Clouds can indicate the presence of the necessary atmospheric conditions for tornado formation, but they are not a requirement.
What kind of material do we need for a fake tsunami?
water, lots and lots of water
What were some good things about the Japan tsunami?
