Megathrusts between subducting oceanic crust and an overriding plate are a potential source of tsunamis because ________.
◦ one side of the fault is on land and the other is underwater so an earthquake could cause a landslide or tsunami depending on which side moved
◦ oceanic crust is "thrust" over the continent along a megathrust so that forces the land downward producing a tsunami
◦ the earthquakes on these faults are underwater and could release large amounts of water from the asthenosphere
◦ the earthquakes on these faults are underwater and could displace large amounts of water from the oceans
