What types of natural disasters are caused by external forces?
tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes
Which of these events is caused by contact forces?
earthquakes along the San Andreas fault in California
Are earthquakes internal or external forces of change?
Earthquakes are internal forces of change caused by tectonic plate movement and stress release along faults within the Earth's crust. They are not considered external forces as they originate from within the Earth.
What caused the great valley?
Geologists think that the Great Rift Valley was caused by violent underground forces. Perhaps underground earthquakes and plate movement.
What causes earthquakes to happen in cities?
Earthquakes are caused by two plates getting hung up, or locked in place. The tremors that follow are the usual forces that move the tectonic plates.
Does deposition causes earthquakes?
Deposition itself does not cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are typically caused by tectonic forces within the Earth's crust, such as the movement of tectonic plates or the release of built-up stress along faults. Deposition, which is the process of laying down sediment or rock by natural forces like water or wind, does not directly trigger earthquakes.
Is an earthquake weather related geologic or caused by humans?
An earthquake is a geologic event caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. It is not weather-related or caused by humans. Earthquakes occur due to the release of energy accumulated as stress along fault lines in the Earth's crust.
Are tornadoes associated with earthquakes?
No. Tornadoes can cause mild ground vibrations, enough to register on a seismograph, but not enough to be felt, but one would hardly call that an earthquake. Tornadoes are caused by severe thunderstorms. Earthquakes are caused by movement in Earth's crust. Such forces are completely unrelated.
Are earthquakes landforms?
No, earthquakes are not landforms. Earthquakes are the result of the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, usually caused by the movement of tectonic plates. Landforms are physical features on the Earth's surface, such as mountains, valleys, and plains, that are shaped by various forces over time.
Are tsunamis caused by tidal waves?
no it is caused by earthquakes
What are faults caused by?
earthquakes
What are earthquakes caused by?
Tremors
