Volcanoes

The Bahamas doesn't have any volcanoes. The nearest volcano is in St. Lucia which is approximately 2,155 km from the Bahamas to St. Lucia. Soufriere Volcano in St. Lucia is considered to be dormant and it last rerupted was in the 18th century. Tourists were allowed to walk on these thin layers but an incident happened, so they are only allowed to stay behind the fence.

Tsunamis

• The Bahamas doesn't really experience tsunamis but in other regions close to the Bahamas begin to run and never looked back.It may take minutes or hours for tsunami waves to impact the coasts of The Bahamas following an earthquake in the region or far out on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. 
  
  It is suggested that if one feels the ground shaking it increases, the should get off of the area. it also mentioned that they should be more careful when going inside the house, the officials says they will be okay to enter once everything is cleared. Lastly, distance source tsunami events, the Meteorology Department and NEMA will inform citizens and visitors to evacuate by making an announcement on all local radio and cable broadcasts. There are also shelters available for those who will need them.

Earthquakes

The Bahamas experienced earthquakes in the Southern part of the island country. They have experienced minor exposures to the south side of the country due to the earthquakes from the Caribbean. Large earthquakes are caused in the southern coast of Cuba and the northern part of Haiti. As a result, this caused significant shaking in the southern part of the island.

Bahamas Plate Boundaries

The Bahamas plate is located near the North American plate. The Northern American plate covers majority of the Bahamas, part of Iceland and Cuba. The Bahamas experiences tropical storms which can cause severe flooding and extensive wind damage. These convergent boundaries are formed when two plates moving towards each others as they collide. In addition to this, the combination of rain, high winds, debris/trash and tidal streams help influence storms and hurricanes.
