What is the name of the scale used to weight the intensity of tornados based on the damage they cause?

Enhanced Fujita scale (EF Scale)

What causes earthquakes

The ever-present movement of the tectonic plates beneath the Earth’s crust causes occasional collisions that release energy, essentially a grinding between two plates.

What is the name of the warning system that detects tsunamis and alerts coastal communities to evacuate?

Tsunami warning system

How do you know when a tsunami is coming

There may be a noticeable earthquake, a loud roaring sound, and the coastal water will likely seem to suck away from the coastline before coming back in force.

How are earthquakes measured?

Earthquakes are measured by their magnitude on a scale of 0 to, essentially, infinity. The highest magnitude earthquake ever recorded ranked at 9.5 on the Richter Scale.
