What else can I help you with?
What is the effect of large sudden rock movements occur along a fault?
earthquakes
What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
What happens when large sudden rock movements occur along a fault line?
Energy is released and earthquakes happen.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Do earthquakes occur as earth's plates collide?
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur
What type of earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes?
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
What geologic events occur at transform boundries?
Earthquakes
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 earth crust?
The crust is the upper layer of the earth. It is where the movement of plates occur due to which earthquakes occur. The Earth's crust is a thin layer of rock, like skin on an apple.
What occur along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
Where on earth do earthquakes occur?
Most earthquakes occur at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates.
