Question

Not every fault movement beneath the sea will produce a tsunami. Which of the following fault movements will result in such an occurrence?

Answer 1

die to earth quake also tsunamis will occur

Answer 2

Movements that occur on reverse faults result in Tsunamis often.

• Tsunamis occur due to earthquakes underneath or near the sea/ocean.
• Faults are basically cracks in the surface of Earth where a part of crust moves against another. There are three main types of faults: strike-slip, normal, and reverse.
• Most tsunamis occur due to earthquakes on reverse faults. In a reverse fault, a crust block moves on top of another block.
• Reverse faults are found in collision zones. For eg.- Himalayas.
