When an Earthquake occurs that is when the ground shakes to create a tsunami or volcano eruption.

Tsunamis can be triggered by undersea earthquakes, especially those near subduction zones where tectonic plates collide. Volcanic activity can also be linked to earthquakes when magma movement or pressure causes the surrounding rock to fracture and release seismic energy.

∙ 12y ago(this is not the best answer but) the tectonic plates are moving into or away from each other and when they do, it creates an earthquake.

What two types of natural disaster are associated with plate movement?
Earthquakes and volcanoes! Also earthquakes can in turn cause tsunami.
What term describes giant waves in the ocean caused by earthquakes or volcanoes?
Tsunamis. These are large ocean waves triggered by underwater seismic activity such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or underwater landslides. Tsunamis can travel across entire ocean basins and cause significant destruction along coastlines when they make landfall.
Which two natural disasters are commonly associated with the movement of tectonic plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes. Earthquakes may also cause tsunami.
How are volcanoes earthquakes and tsunamis related?

How can volcanoes errupt under water?
Volcanoes can erupt underwater when magma rises to the surface through a weak spot in the Earth's crust on the ocean floor, known as a mid-ocean ridge or a hotspot. When the magma reaches the cold ocean water, it can cause the water to heat up rapidly, leading to explosive eruptions and the formation of underwater volcanoes.
What is the definition of destructive forces?
A destructive force is any natural disaster. Such as, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunami's, etc.
