The most dense layer of the atmosphere is the troposphere is the most dense layer because it is at the bottom of the atmosphere. The troposphere is where all our weather happe â¦ ns. It also has the highest air pressure. But more specifically, the earths atmosphere is most dense at the surface.
Earthquakes on faults like these may cause tsunamis in the Puget Sound region. 'Deep' faults Deep faults can occur where two tectonic plates collide and one of the plates is forced beneath the other.
Anything that rapidly displaces a large volume of water can cause a tsunami. Typically, tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes, but landslides, volcanic eruptions, calving icebergs, and (very rarely) meteorite impacts can also generate tsunamis. These types of events can cause large disturbances in the surface of the ocean, and when gravity pulls the water back down, the tsunami is born.
