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.
If such a quake causes rapid deformation of the sea floor, there is potential for tsunamis, such as the earthquake caused by subduction of the Indo-Australian Plate under the Euro-Asian Plate on December 26, 2004 that devastated the areas around the Indian Ocean.
