What is fault of earthquake?
Tectonic plates
Where does earthquake occurs?
They happen along the fault lines that separate or crash into each other. The planet is made of Tectonic plates that are constantly moving, and that's why earthquakes happen
Why do earthquakes happen near fault lines?
because the tectonic plates are moving beneth the earths crust, colliding with each other. if someone live along one of these fault lines between the plates they would experience a large earthquake.
Why was the earthquake occurs in different country?
because it can happen anywhere. especially near fault lines. all it is, is the earths plates rubbing together
Where do the earthquakes happen?
, Earthquakes occurs along fault lines, fault lines are where tectonic plates meet. There is a build up of pressure when the plates converge ( move in and hit each other). When the pressure is to great it is released in an earthquake. Hope this helps.
what is Fault Line?
Earthquake/volcanic activity occur almost exactly the fault line where plates about
What caused the 2008 China Earthquake?
The 2008 earthquake in China, known as the Wenchuan earthquake, was caused by the sudden release of stress accumulated along a fault line due to the movement of the tectonic plates in the region. The seismic activity in the area is influenced by the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate.
Why might the Earth's plates show irregularities just before an earthquake?
Irregularities in Earth's plates shortly before an earthquake can be due to the buildup of stress and pressure along fault lines. This stress can cause the plates to stick and deform, leading to irregularities in their movement. When the stress becomes too great, it can trigger an earthquake as the plates suddenly release the built-up energy.
What caused the sichuan earthquake in may 2008?
Sichuan is a very active tectonic area. The earthquake in Sichuan of May 2008 was caused by the movement along a fault line. The deformation of the crust in this region was caused by the collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. This has created the Himalayas over the years as earthquakes are common in this collision zone. The earthquake was felt in Beijing and Shanghai, over 1500km away.
What can happen when to plates collide together?
a fault
What plates caused the Haiti earthquake?
The Haiti earthquake in 2010 was caused by movement along the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone, which runs along the border of the North American and Caribbean tectonic plates. Specifically, the earthquake was the result of a slip along a blind thrust fault within this fault zone, rather than movement between distinct tectonic plates.
What fault line did the Kobe earthquake happen on?
Kobe is on the nojima fault line
