An earthquake that causes a landslide under the ocean floor can trigger a?
tsunami
Where would the epicenter be of an earthquake that causes a tsunami?
The epicenter of an earthquake that causes a tsunami would likely be beneath the ocean floor, where the earthquake originated. Tsunamis are often triggered by undersea earthquakes that displace a large volume of water, creating the giant waves that can lead to a tsunami event.
Which of the following could cause a Tsunami?
A earthquake on a sea floor
What is tsunami and how is one generated?
Large undersea earthquakes occasionally set in motion massive waves of water called seismic sea waves or (tsunami). They result from vertical displacement along a fault located on the ocean floor or from a landslide triggered by an earthquake.
Tsunami?
When an earthquake occurs where a slab of the ocean floor is displaced vertically along a fault.
An earthquake that causes a landslide under the ocean floor can trigger a?
tsunami
What earthquake that causes a landslide under the floor can trigger a?
It can trigger a tsunami.
What level earthquake causes a tsunami?
Tsunamis can be triggered by earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or higher, typically when the earthquake occurs under the ocean floor and displaces a large volume of water. Smaller earthquakes can also generate tsunamis if they trigger a significant underwater landslide.
How does a tsunami start and what are the key factors that trigger its formation?
A tsunami starts when there is a sudden disturbance on the ocean floor, such as an earthquake, volcanic eruption, or underwater landslide. The key factors that trigger its formation are the displacement of a large volume of water, which creates powerful waves that travel across the ocean at high speeds.
Which term refers to powerful ocean waves caused by an earthquake landslide or volcanic erupton on the sea floor?
Tsunami
What are the four main reasons for a tsumani?
comet strike ,earthquake, landslide on land or sea massive sea floor rise or subside
What causes a tsunami answer with no hard words please?
Tsumamis are often caused by undersea earthquakes. The earthquake makes the ocean floor move, which causes the tsunami-wave.
Is floor spreading an earthquake?
No.
Can earthquakes create landforms?
Sometimes an earthquake causes uplift in the ground. In some cases this can turn sea floor into dry land.
How many floors are in landslide cave?
10 i beg to differ i am sitting on floor 13
Where would the epicenter be of an earthquake that causes a tsunami?
The epicenter of an earthquake that causes a tsunami would likely be beneath the ocean floor, where the earthquake originated. Tsunamis are often triggered by undersea earthquakes that displace a large volume of water, creating the giant waves that can lead to a tsunami event.
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.
