Do mountains prevent earthquake shocks?
Mountains do not prevent earthquakes, in fact mountains were created by the occurrence of earthquakes.
How do earthquakes form mountains?
mountains often are formed where parts of Earth's crust get pushed up from below
What is the result of plates of earth pushing together or convergent movement?
Formation of mountains, together with the associated volcanoes and earthquakes. The prime/best example is the Indian sub-contiant (India) moving north into the Asiatic plate. The result is the Himalaya Mountains, & earthquakes in the region.
Why folding and faulting is one of the main causes behind earthquakes?
earthquakes often occur near fold mountains because fold mountains are formed on the earth's fault lines ( invisble lines in the earth's crust) and earthquakes happen when two fault lines crash together.
What happens when two tectonic plates rub together?
they form mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes.
Is global warming causing the earthquakes this year?
No, earthquakes are caused by the tectonic plates that cover the earth moving slowly together or apart. Plates moving together gradually form mountains, like the Rocky Mountains, or the Andes. When the pressure of the plates gets too much they give a jolt, and that is an earthquake. Nothing to do with global warming.
What is the connection between mountains and plate boundaries?
mountains are usually formed on plate boundaries because earthquakes happen at plate boundaries. earthquakes can form mountains.
What have earthquakes got to do with mountains?
when some earthquakes come they make the ground or surface of the earth uneven which sometimes form mountains
What do mountains have to do with earthquakes?
Mountains are not required for an earthquake to occur. Recently, in flat areas such as Kansas and Oklahoma, earthquakes have been on the rise.
What happen when plate on earth crust push together?
under land: Mountains, earthquakes, tsunamis, ....Look up the 'wilson cycle'
