What are tsunamis triggered by?
Tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes due to vibrations.
What may happen due to the movement of crustal plates?
earthquakes
Which best explains the absence of volcanoes and earthquakes at a passive continental margin?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are rare due to the distance from any active boundaries.
Where do earthquakes not happen?
Small earthquakes can happen almost anywhere on the earth's surface, however major earthquakes mainly only occur at plate boundaries or along very large faults. Earthquakes can also happen around volcanoes especially when they are due to erupt.
Why are earthquakes in middle us states a concern?
Earthquakes in the middle US states are a concern because the fault line there could lead to the highest loss in economy due to a natural disaster.
How much does the Burj Dubai sway?
Due to it's flexibility, it can sway up to about 5.5 feet.
Why building collapse due to earthquakes?

What are tsunamis triggered by?
Tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes due to vibrations.
Why should a car sway on a 96 BMW 328i after putting new inner tie rods and tires?
A car may sway after putting new inner tie rods due to corrosion. This may also be due to the tie rods being uneven.
Is the motion of lithospheric plates a major cause of earthquakes?
It is the main cause of earthquakes. However you may get minor earthquakes due to volcanic activity or mass wasting events.
Can s waves cause destruction that is due to earthquakes?
yes they can
What is the theory that explains why you have earthquakes?
Due to the disturbances in tectonic plates
What may happen due to movement of crustal plates?
earthquakes
What may happen due to the movement of crustal plates?
earthquakes
What are some causes of earthquakes?
If seen broadly we can say that earthquakes are caused due to two major reasons. The first reason is the eruption of volcanoes, which are sudden, and as is known volcanoes are seat of inner disturbance and can effect the plates which is the second cause of earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused due to disturbance in the movement of plates, which again can be caused due to various reasons like under crust waves or cracks in the plates.
What are vibrations that occur when rocks break due to stress called?
Earthquakes
What do earthquakes do?
Seismic waves due to slip across fault planes
