Tsunami are related to the movements of earth's crust plates because they are both on the plate boundries.

Its related to the movements of earths crustal plates because the plates rub against each other and make more earthquakes and tsunami do the same.

Tsunami are related the the crustal plates because the plates move around and when they hit they cause a tsunami.

A Tsunami and Earth's plates are the same because Tsunami's are caused by volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. When plates rub against each other they cause earthquake.

the crust shift around and because of the earthquake and landslide move and made a tsunamis work because the movement the earthquake the crust shift around and we have them by the plates and they have it by the boundaries.

The Earth crustal plates is related to the tsunami because when the sand decrease and make a hill and that is like a plate. The water is like another plate and when it crashes it makes a big wave and it looks like a tsunami.

Tsunamis are related to the movements of the earth's crust plates because the plates rub together to cause earthquakes and tsunamis.

Tsunamis are related to the crust plates because the plates have to move for an earthquake to happen and a tsunami happens from an earthquake.

Its caused by earthquake witch is when plates hit each other. Earthquakes happen in water so it starts a tsunami.

Underwater earthquakes cause giant waves called Tsunamis.

They both have a process.When the plate boundaries move they cause natural disasters.for example they slide against each other and create movements.That is why they are related.

they are related because
they start under water and the earths plates create earthquackes and earthquackes start under water.

Tsunami are related to movements of the earths crust because of the way the Earth moves when plates go over each other.

the plates rub together to make a lot of tsunami and earthquakes do the same thing.

tsunamis are related to the earths movements because most of the earths plates are under water. that makes "big waves", "storm waves", and tsunamis.

earthquakes cause tsunamis

The tsunamis are caused by earthquakes after the crust cracks. That forms tsunamis under water.Happening on the plate boundaries. Which is what the continents are resting on.

Tsunami are related to the movements of the earths crust of the because of when the earth plates move they cause earthquakes which make tsunami.

When the plates move it can cause an earthquake underwater then the disturbance can cause a huge tidal wave and make many smaller waves half the size of the original then it strikes shore.

When the earths crustal plates move, which causes an earthquake, and that causes water to thrust forward and cause a tsunami

Tsunami's are related to the movements of earthquakes and landslides and can travel up to 650mph. The smallest it could run is 35mph.

Tsunamis are related to the earths crust because the earths crust has plate tectonics. When the plate tectonics move it causes volcanoes. When there's a volcano eruption under water there will be a tsunami.

when the plates move it causes a earthquake if its underwater it causes a tsunami and if the ground moves it causes a landslide.

A tsunami is related to the Earth's crustal movements because a tsunami can go off without warning and a tsunami and an earthquake are both on plate boundaries.

Tsunamis are related by the earths crustal plates by moving apart.ytu

When the plates move tsunami acure they are both plate boundries. When the plates hit and rub together then a tsunami acures

Tsunamis happens in the earthquake . Earthquake is caused by the plates movement.The crust plates and they both have boundies.

Tsunami is related to Earths plates because is made up of the earthquake, when the tsunami starts it is a strom and when the plates hit they cause a earth quake

by the plates moving and start earthquakes

and start tsunamis

Anonymous said...

earths plates cause earthquakes and when they hit the ocean they cause tsunamis. this all happens with the earths movement(the earths plates.)

the tsunami is related to the movements of the earth's crustal plates.when the earth's plate move around the tsunami accures...

Tsunami cause the plates. to move They are both on plate boundries.

Tsunami are formed by an under water earthquake in the ring of fire by the plates sliding against each other

Anonymous said...

WHen plates slide to together it makes an earthquake under water like on earth and that makes the wave

Hi CRMS kids I miss you I like my new I made lots of new friends at Willam Henry Middle School or WHMS. I really miss you guys tell all the teachers that I said hi I had a half day that is why it is so early
