How are earthquakes and volcanoes related?
earthquakes and volcano's are related in some sorts of ways, one of these ways are the damage they do.
What are some locations of earthquakes?
one main location of an earthquake isSanAndrea'sfault.
Why don't all faults cause earthquakes?
Faults are the boundaries between tectonic plates and are not the cause of earthquakes. The motion of one plate against another or the subduction of one plate by another can eventually cause a slippage, and it is this slippage that causes earthquakes.
What happens when one plates slides past another?
Earthquakes
How do the locations of earthquakes relate to the earth's plates?
When plates collide or slide apart, earthquakes can be caused."There's really only one explanation for all of the questions about tectonic plates popping up... Why not just do your own homework? It would work a lot faster than waiting for some other random person to do it for you. Alas, (wow I just said "alas") I still answered the question for you..." - anh1227
When plates slide or grind past one each one another?
Earthquakes happend
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of these?
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are always in motion, and when two of them collide with one another it causes earthquakes.
Why do earthquakes occur in the same locations?
Because of Fault lines. Tectonics plates have edges going into other plates. The plates casue earthquakes due to one plate going over or under another. Like San Andreas fault line, the whole area is screwed for life.... The plates will be their for a very very long time.
What are some Uwajimaya market locations?
There are four main locations for Uwajimaya. There is one situated in Seattle, one in Bellevue and another one in Beaverton. There is also one in Renton.
What are fault boundaries?
Fault boundaries are the places where two tectonic plates (sections of the earth's crust) meet. Because of the movement of the plates against one another, fault boundaries are the locations where most earthquakes occur.
Why is there a frequency of earthquakes and volcanoes?
The reason why is because the tectonic plates never stop moving. When one plate collides with another it causes volcanoes and earthquakes to occur.
Why does Oklahoma have earthquakes?
Just about everywhere on Earth can have earthquakes. Some locations are more known for it than others, but it turns out that one of the largest earthquakes ever in the United States was in Missouri, a location not particularly noted for being earthquake-prone. Anywhere there's a fault, there can be earthquakes. The recent (November 2011) Oklahoma quakes occurred along the Wilzetta fault.
