What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
What season do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes are not a seasonal phenomenon and so the time of year has no effect on the occurrence of earthquakes. As such, earthquakes can happen at any time of the year as they occur independent of weather and climate.
Does any one know any names of earthquakes?
Earthquakes are not given names. They are usually referred to by the area in which they occur
Will a mega earthquake hit Britain?
No. "Mega earthquakes" sometimes known as megathrust earthquakes tend to occur at or near convergent plate boundaries. The UK is not located near to a convergent (or any other type of plate boundary) so will not experience an earthquake of this type.
What time does a earthquake occur?
There are no specific timings to when any earthquakes occur. They occur when two tectonic plates collide into each other, and that can be any time.
Do any earthquakes occur in Canada why or why not?
Yes. They occur everywhere, but mostly in western Canada as it drags on the Pacific plate.
Which place on earth has the most earthquakes?
Many occur along the Ring of Fire (where many volcanoes are located; volcanic activity and seismic activity are both caused by fluctuations in the Earth's crust due to unrest in the mesosphere), as well as along faults on the western coast of the United States. Earthquakes occur there daily. As a matter of fact, Earthquakes occur constantly along any plate boundary or fault, but the two places I just mentioned suffer from more severe earthquakes that occur more frequently.
Do earthquakes happen on sunny days?
Earthquakes can happen during any weather, an earthquake is essentially when 2 tectonic plates collide. This means that their most likely to occur after a tsunami, they can occur doing any weather though.
Did any earthquakes or tremors occur in southern California during 1967?
Southern California did not have any significant earthquakes in 1967. There was an earthquake in 1968 and 3 earthquakes in 1969 that did significant damage to southern California.
What types of plates do Earthquakes form on?
Earthquakes typically occur on a any fault because the most common earthquake is the tectonic earthquake and it occurs on all the faults, though usually has the most effect on strike-slip faults (like the San Andreas fault).
What is the definition of destructive forces?
A destructive force is any natural disaster. Such as, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunami's, etc.
What plate boundary do earthquakes usually occur on?
earthquakes only happen at the edge of tectonic plates because of them moving which causes the 'quake' so there are never any BIG earthquakes in the UK because it is in the middle of a tectonic plate
