Select all of the answers that apply.

Which of the following are other natural disasters that earthquakes produce?
thunderstorms
tornadoes
tsunamis
landslides
liquefaction

Respuesta :

Tsunamis, landslides, and rarely, a dry thunderstorms.

Answer:

Options (3), (4) and (5)

Explanation:

The earthquake is usually defined as the unanticipated shaking of the earth's surface that is caused due to the propagation of seismic waves beneath the earth's surface. These seismic waves are P and S waves that carry energy from the point of origin of an earthquake towards the surface of the earth. This can cause heavy damages depending upon its magnitude.

The occurrence of an earthquake can also lead to the initiation of other natural disasters, such as-

Tsunami- It generally refers to the formation of large waves that is caused due to an underwater explosion, earthquake or nearby landslide.

Landslide- This can be triggered due to the shaking of the ground, where the unconsolidated loose materials move downward under the influence of gravity.

Liquefaction- It refers to the process where the loose, water-saturated soil particles lose their stability in response to an earthquake.

Thus, the correct answers are options (3), (4) and (5).
