A tsunami is formed when there is an earthquake, volcanic eruption or, more rarely, a landslide underwater. Typically, neither the earthquake, eruption or landslide are felt because they are so deep under water. However, the actions that have taken place are the first steps that lead to a massive tsunami that can cause tremendous damage to coastal regions.
What else can I help you with?
Do tsunamis form at plate boundaries?
Usually, yes. Most tsunamis are generated at subduction zones. However, tsunamis can occur away from plate boundaries if they are triggered by landslides or meteor impacts.
Do most tsunamis probably form near plate boundaries or far from them?
Most tsunamis are tirggered by earthquaes and so usually occur at plate boundaries.
How do divergent boundaries form volcanoes?
no yes and symp
Can a hurricane form a tsunami?
No. Hurricanes generate large waves, but tsunamis are a completely different matter.
Tsunamis are what?
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
Can tsunamis form in shallow water?
no.
What form divergent?
They form trenches, mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
Do tsunamis form at plate boundaries?
Usually, yes. Most tsunamis are generated at subduction zones. However, tsunamis can occur away from plate boundaries if they are triggered by landslides or meteor impacts.
Are tsunamis waves?
Yes. I tsunami is a form of tidal wave.
Can a tornado form a tsunami?
No Tsunamis are not formed by wind events
How tsunamis formed?
Tsunamis can be formed after certain underwater events take place. A tsunami can form after an underwater landslide, earthquake or volcanic eruption.
Why do tsunamis form in pacafic ocean?
Underground earthquake, Or underground gravity.
Are tsunamis tidal waves?
Yes. I tsunami is a form of tidal wave.
What do Divergent forms?
They form trenches, mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
Why are countries in the pacific region particularly at risk for tsunamis?
The reason is that the countreis are so near the Pacific plate where earthquakes strike and tsunamis form afterward.
Where do tsunamis typically form?
tsunamis come from a disturbance in the water like a volcanic erruption which causes the water to draw back creating a huge wave
Do most tsunamis probably form near plate boundaries or far from them?
Most tsunamis are tirggered by earthquaes and so usually occur at plate boundaries.
