How do earthquakes allow scientists study earth's interior?
The seismic waves that the earthquakes make travel slowly and scientists can track them
How and why earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur when a shift in the earth's crust causes tremors to rock the surface of the earth around the shift. Since the Earth's crust is divided into different plates, and these plates move around (very slowly) on the earth, there are earthquakes. Also, since there are different parts that the plates meet at, there are certain "hotspots" where more earthquakes happen (where the plates meet).
What are slowly destroying the Earth's protective ozone layer?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances released into the atmosphere are slowly destroying the Earth's protective ozone layer. These substances break down ozone molecules, leading to the formation of the ozone hole. This depletion increases the amount of harmful ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth's surface, which can cause health issues and environmental damage.
How are earthquakes volcanoes and asteroid strikes different from weathering and erosion?
Weathering and erosion change the surface of the earth very slowly. Earthquakes, volcanoes and asteroids change the surface immediately.
How can an earthquake be stopped by destroying a house or factory?
Destroying a single house or factory cannot stop an earthquake. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, which release energy in the form of seismic waves. To prevent earthquake damage, structural reinforcement and building codes should be implemented.
Does the earth's magnetic shield cause the land masses to drift apart?
No. Earth has tectonic plates that slowly move and create earthquakes by rubbing against each other.
What can be found on the website BBC Earth?
BBC Earth gives many updates about the Earth's natural phenomenons. One can find more information about Earth's landmarks, recent earthquakes, and much more on BBC Earth.
Where are the most recent earthquakes occurring?
I think it's a direct effect of the poles shifting on the planet earth. I think it's a direct effect of the poles shifting on the planet earth.
Does the crust flow slowly?
Yes, the Earth's crust moves very slowly due to the tectonic plates shifting over time. This movement results in processes like continental drift and the formation of mountains and earthquakes.
Is the distance between Moon and Earth changed because of recent earthquake?
No. Earthquakes on our planet won't make any changes to the moon and it's orbit.
Why do some earthquakes cause tsunamies?
earthquakes can cause tsunamis because the earth's plates, (search up earth's plates on Google...) slowly move colliding against each other causing violent trembles known as earthquakes. because the ocean is covering the earth's plates up we cannot see that it is moving plates that are causing massive waves called "tsunamis." - by Sheenji- sheenjiberry@gmail.com
