Tsunamis are typically triggered by vertical movement of the seafloor at a convergent plate boundary. Transform boundaries do not produce such vertical movement.

Do transform plate movements cause volcanoes?

Yup


What four types of plate movements can cause earthquakes?

The four types of plate movements that can cause earthquakes are convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, transform boundaries, and subduction zones. These movements can result in the buildup of stress within the Earth's crust, which may eventually be released in the form of an earthquake.


Types of plate movements?

Tectonic movement.


What is transform plate movements?

the transform plate movement is when the plates are sliding. this causes earthquakes. imagine one plate then across is another. one moves up and one down sliding.


What is the three plate moments?

There are three different types of plate movements that cause earthquakes. The first is Divergent Boundaries (pulling apart), the second is Covergent Boundaries (coming together) and Transform Boundaries.


What caused the 2004 indoneisan tsunami - a divergent convergent or transform plate movement?

The 2004 Indonesian tsunami was caused by a megathrust earthquake along a subduction zone, which involves a convergent plate movement. The Indian Plate subducted beneath the Burma Plate, generating a massive underwater earthquake that resulted in the tsunami.


What are the many types of plate movements?

The main types of plate movements are divergent (moving apart), convergent (moving towards each other), and transform (sliding past each other). Divergent boundaries result in new crust formation, convergent boundaries create subduction zones or mountain building, and transform boundaries lead to lateral sliding and earthquakes.


Why are tsunamis associated with earthquakes?

Well, earthquakes do cause tsunamis. But only underwater earthquakes. Plus, they have to be a transform plate boundary earthquake(caused by subduction).Any displacement of water will cause a tsunami. In short, some underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis.


What two natural disasters come from plate tectonic movements?

Earth quakes and tsunami (also volcanoes)


Do earthquakes cause transform plate movement?

No, they don't. In fact earthquake are a result of transform plate movement.


Can heavey rain cause a tsunami?

No, heavy rain cannot cause a tsunami. Tsunamis are typically generated by underwater tectonic plate movements, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Heavy rain does not have the same energy or mechanism to produce a tsunami.


What are the three plate movements?

The three main types of plate movements are convergent, where plates move towards each other; divergent, where plates move away from each other; and transform, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
