What do earthquakes volcanoes and landslides have in common?

Answer 1

they all have to do with waves like seismic waves and surface wave. Also underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis and usually volcanoes produce earthquakes when they are about to erupt

Answer 2

Tsunamis have a variety of causes - they can be caused by earthquakes (think the 2004 Indian ocean event), landslide events (1958 Lituya Bay event in Alaska), or asteroid impacts. Some of these landslides may be triggered by seismic events, such as those associated with volcanics (especially at subduction boundaries) or general plate boundary motion.

Earthquakes can be caused by plate boundary motion (reverse faults, normal faults, and strike-slip faults) and the subterranean magma movement associated with volcanoes.

Volcanoes can be found in three different locations on the earth's surface; at divergent plate boundaries (Iceland - also a hot spot), subduction zones (Japan, South America), and atop mantle plumes/hot spots (Hawaii).

To tie this all together, a tsunami can be caused by an earthquake that was generated from a volcanic eruption - the most likely place for this is at a subduction boundary.

Answer 3

All four of these items are natural occurances. Volcanoes, hot springs and earthquakes are all more common along fault lines; tsunamis are commonly caused by disruptions along the fault lines.

Answer 4

They are all powerful and pontetiall very deadly and destructive forces of nature. Earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes are natural disasters. A volcano is a geologic formation, while a volcanic eruption is a natural disaster.

Answer 5

they all have to do with waves like seismic waves and surface wave. Also underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis and usually volcanoes produce earthquakes when they are about to erupt
