What is an earthquake and situations that earthquakes occur?
An earthquake is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, it is caused by movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.
What are faults caused by?
earthquakes
Can scientists predict volcanic eruptions?
Yes, scientists can predict volcanic eruptions, but only to a certain extent of accuracy. One method is to use earthquakes. Earthquakes usually increase and become more violent before a volcanic eruption
Many strong earthquakes are caused by what?
Many strong earthquakes are caused by plates sliding apart.
What is tsunamis caused by under waters?
Earthquakes.
What caused the great valley?
Geologists think that the Great Rift Valley was caused by violent underground forces. Perhaps underground earthquakes and plate movement.

Are most earthquakes caused by folding?
Most earthquakes are not caused by folding they are actually caused by faulting a sudden movement of land caused by friction.
Use of seismograph?
Seismographs are used to measure earthquakes, and how violent they are.
What are earthquakes related to?
Earthquakes are related to plate movements as it is caused by them.
What are explosion earthquakes?
earthquakes caused by a nuclear or chemical reaction
Are tsunamis caused by tidal waves?
no it is caused by earthquakes
What are earthquakes caused by?
Tremors
What are faults caused by?
earthquakes
Are earthquakes caused by wind?
No, earthquakes cannot be caused by the wind at all. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate boundaries, where the moving plates generate pressure. The pressure is released as an earthquake. Occasionally earthquakes may be caused by volcanoes, but this is simply another effect of moving tectonic plates. So the wind has no influence whatsoever on earthquakes or seismic activity.
What causes tsunami and earthquakes in Japan?
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.
Are fault lines caused by earthquakes?
No, fault lines cause earthquakes
