What is you it called when volcanic activity occurs along mid-ocean ridge in large cracks?
it is called rift valleys
How do scientist know the exact spot where an earthquake begins?
Scientists have been planting seismographs along fault lines for decades. These tell the scientist what area has activity first. With these machines they can pin down activity within 50 feet most of the time.
What tectonic plates caused the 1755 Lisbon earthquake?
The 1755 Lisbon earthquake was primarily caused by the movement of the Eurasian and African tectonic plates. These plates converge along the southwestern coast of Portugal, resulting in frequent seismic activity in the region.

Seis- is a prefix meaning 'earthquake', such as in 'seismograph' (a device that records the waves of an earthquake) or 'seismic' (having to do with earthquakes.
