Are earthquakes and volcanos located near tectonic plates?
yes
When faults shift what occurs?
That causes earthquakes
Where are located the volcanoes and earthquakes?
it is at faults or cracks
What do scientists use to locate hidden faults?
Earthquakes
All faults will cause earthquakes?
It all depends on how big the fault is, bigger ones will cause bigger earthquakes, while smaller, or small ones may cause no earthquake at all.
How do volcanos form in the central valley of a divergent boundary?
Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form where the magma reaches the surface. And from there it forms valleys.
Why do volcanos cause more deaths then earthquakes?
Volcanos burn
What kills more people earthquakes or volcanos?
Earthquakes
Explain how tectonic plate motion is related to earthquakes?
It all has to do with the faults and plates of the earth.(if you don't know what those are just google them.) When they move they can cause mountains or make old mountains bigger , cause volcanos, ocean ridges and trenches, and finally earthquakes. When the faults or plates rub against each other they cause the land to also shake. Which causes earthquakes.
Which kind of boundary is seen in earthquakes that are normal faults?
Transform boundaries are seen in earthquakes that are caused by normal faults. Some types of faults are listric or ring faults.
How faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the stress energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces.
What is responsible for earthquakes and volcanos and mountains?
Gravity
What causes the movements of the lithosphere?
volcanos and earthquakes
What are faults caused by?
earthquakes
What are earthquakes associated with?
Faults
How are composite and cone volcanoes alike?
they are volcanos
What are the actions of the faults?
Faults can create cracks in the earth and cause earthquakes.
