Stress and faults are both caused by tectonic plates.
In the lithosphere earthquakes occur when stress?
Suddenly builds up
Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
How long do big earthquakes last?
it depends on how strong it is.
Is big ben earthquake resistant?
The building which houses Big Ben was built long before we worried about earthquakes. But England only rarely has very minor earthquakes.
What stress causes earthquakes?
There are three types of stress tension, compression, and shearing they all cause earthquakes.
How do earthquakes release the energy of frictional stress?
Earthquakes release the energy of frictional stress in forms of seismic waves.
How big are Australia's earthquakes?
As big as regular earthquakes.
What causes an increase in the number and intensity of a small earthquakes before a big earthquake?
According to the asperity model of static earthquake, a fault is not in a state of uniform stress but rather there has been some release of stress over part of the fault through foreshocks leaving behind strong patches or asperities which are broken resulting in a smoothly slipped fault. These weak regions result in an increase in the number of small earthquakes
What kind of stress causes earthquakes?

How are stress and faults related in earthquakes?
Stress and faults are both caused by tectonic plates.
Does CA get really bad earthquakes?
no, but we have them probably more often then other states or part of the world. Thay say that "The Big One" is coming but we can never predict earthquakes.
Why do you get big earthquakes?
we get big earthquakes because, the bigger the land is moving the bigger the earthquake.
Why does stress play such a big part in someones life'?

How does big ben withstand earthquakes?

Do earthquakes have weather geologic or human causes?
Earthquakes result from stress in the earth's crust, so the are of geologic origin.
