No because the New Madrid quakes occurred far inland, so therefore no tsunami was generated by the plate tectonics under a large body of water as is the mechanism for most earthquake-generated tsunamis. However, the New Madrid fault earthquake did cause the Mississippi river to flow backwards.
TSUNAMI :)
Bear in mind that it is not just the Richter scale measurement which determines the severity of a tsunami which results from an earthquake; the location of the earthquake is also relevant. And inland earthquake does not produce the same tsunami as an underwater earthquake. That said, 8.3 is an extremely powerful earthquake which could produce a tsunami that would travel for thousands of miles and cause immense dammage over a very wide area.
No, an earthquake is a sudden shift in tectonic plates caused by built up pressure. This cause the Ground to shake. A Tsunami is a giant wave. Tsunamis can be caused by an earthquake happening under the ocean
well an earthquake with a magnitude of 1 can cause a tsunami of about 6ft lol heres a chartTsunami magnitude mTsunami heightHDamage-150 cmNone01 mVery small damage12Coastal and ship damage24 ~ 6Damage and lives lost in certain landward areas310 ~ 20Considerable damage along more than 400 km of coastline430Considerable damage along more than 500 km of coastlinenote that magnitude is above the height of the tsunami
A Tsunami is generated by an underwater earthquake.
No, the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 did not cause a tsunami.
An earthquake caused the tsunami!
No, the earthquake in the ocean cause the water to make the tsunami
The tsunami in Japan occurred because when the tectonic plates under ground move they cause an earthquake. Sometimes an earthquake can cause a tsunami from shaking underwater.
yes!
No.
No
yes
The cause of the earthquake was that the boundaries were sliding past each other and caused an earthquake in which resulted in a tsunami.
A volcanic eruption can cause an earthquake and an earthquake underwater can cause a tsunami.
