What else can I help you with?
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of these?
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are always in motion, and when two of them collide with one another it causes earthquakes.
Where do earthquakes usually occurr?
Earthquakes ussually occur near the tectonic plates which cover the earths surface.
Where volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.
Can scientists predict when earthquakes will occur?
Earthquakes are dangerous to humeans and the environment because the plates collide. I LIKE PURPLE BANANAS
Where is a earthquakes?
Earthquakes usually occur around faultlines or plate boundaries because that's where plates split apart a long time ago. When two plates collide they form earthquakes.
What occur when two continental plates collide pushing the continental crust up to form mountains?
Earthquakes!
When two plates collide what can happen?
When two oceanic plates collide, one may be pushed under the other and cause magma from the mantle to rise, forming a volcanoe or volcanoes. When two continential plates collide at a reverse fault tectonic earthquakes occur.
Where and when do earthquakes mostly occur?
They mostly occur when the tectonic plates in the earths systems rub against each other and they mostly occur in California.
What is the name of the outer most layer of the Earth where earthquakes occur?
The outermost layer of the Earth where earthquakes occur is called the crust. It is divided into large tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid mantle below, and when these plates shift or collide, earthquakes can happen.
What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
When tectonic plates collide with oceanic plates, the denser oceanic plate is usually forced beneath the less dense continental plate in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs and deep ocean trenches. The collision can also cause earthquakes and crustal deformation.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
because of the plates in earth shift fast and the force causes the earth to shake.
Why do fold mountains and earthquakes occur at collision plate margin?
Here earthquakes occur because the 2 plates, continental plates, both are colliding with each other so due to friction, there are lots of movements so they collide, they cause movements on the earths crust so-earthquakes occur and because they are continental crusts they can't sink so they have to go somewhere so they move upwards so they cause fold mountains.
