Earthquakes and landslides both involve the movement of the Earth's crust. Earthquakes can trigger landslides by shaking loose rocks and soil on steep slopes, causing them to give way and slide downhill. Both natural disasters can have devastating impacts on communities and infrastructure.

Can Landslides and mudslides result from both volcanoes and earthquakes. True or false?
True earthquakes and volcanoes can cause landslides.
Can landslides be caused by plates in the earth moving?
Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
How did plate tectonics make earthquakes landslides and tidal waves?
Plate tectonics cause earthquakes when tectonic plates move and release built-up stress at their boundaries. Landslides can occur during earthquakes when the shaking of the ground causes slope failures. Tidal waves, or tsunamis, can be generated by underwater earthquakes or landslides that displace large volumes of water.
What damage do earthquakes tsunamis and landslides cause?
A lot of damage
What is the relationship between earthquakes and landslides?
They're the four types of erosion.
Are earthquakes related to landslides or tsunamis?
Earthquakes can trigger both landslides and tsunamis.
Can Landslides and mudslides result from both volcanoes and earthquakes. True or false?
True earthquakes and volcanoes can cause landslides.
Can landslides be caused by plates in the earth moving?
Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
Which of these hazards are characteristic of a convergent boundary Earthquakes volcanoesMountianstrenches mud landslides other?
Volcanic activity and Earthquakes are two. And two more are Landslides and avalanches.
Can earthquakes cause other geological disasters?
earthquakes can cause tsunamis, landslides, flooding, and volcanos
How did plate tectonics make earthquakes landslides and tidal waves?
Plate tectonics cause earthquakes when tectonic plates move and release built-up stress at their boundaries. Landslides can occur during earthquakes when the shaking of the ground causes slope failures. Tidal waves, or tsunamis, can be generated by underwater earthquakes or landslides that displace large volumes of water.
What are some effects of landslides?
earthquakes may occur because of landslides and tidal waves may also be effects.
What cause earthquakes tsunamis and landslides?
Shifting of Tectonic Plates.
What are the risks of earthquakes?
Tsunami, Landslides, Volcanic eruptions and more!
What damage do earthquakes tsunamis and landslides cause?
A lot of damage
Are landslides accompanied by the occurrence of earthquakes?
The other way round. Landslides may be triggered by earthquakes but do not cause them.A large enough landslide will cause seismic activity that can be detected by seismometers however the trigger isn't the same as that found in earthquakes.
Which boundaries are converged boundaries?
earthquakes, volcanic activity, landslides, and avalanches.
