ans2. earthquakes alter the face of the land by causing landslips and landslides.
Close to the fault boundary, there may be tearing of the ground surface, and uplift of one side of the fault line.
There are also "slow earthquakes" that produce no drama on the surface day by day, but in which the land may move vertically or horizontally, and which can build mountains.
Where I live, an area of >>10 000 km2 is moving SW at about 35mm per year.
A local mountain range is elevating itself by about 5mm per year.
The land on the other side of the bounding fault, the "Great Alpine Fault" is moving N at about 10mm per year. Eventually these strains will result in a major earthquake.
These movements are caused by a major thrust from the E, which in the 150 years of surveying, has shortened the150 km distance by c1.5m; a rate of about 10mm per year of shortening in the 150 km distance. Without any major earthquake in the region.
All residents are strongly advised to have an emergency kit of at least 3 days of water and food, stored where it is less likely to be damaged in an earthquake.
The earthquake cracks and splits the rock in a violent eruption and can also throw rocks and then that cracks them.
haha the two plates slide causing the earths crust to break
because peanut
it cracks it
They cause landslides. The happen change the Earth's surface
EARTHQUAKES have changes the earth in many ways. The folding and faulting of the earth crust have left big cracks in the earths crust. The folding and faulting only happen on the tectonic boundaries. TECTONIC BOUNDARIES: The plates that make up the earths contents.
They are what make volcanos and earthquakes- when they rub together they make An earthquake and earthquakes form volcanos by pushing up against each other, leading the lava from the core of the earth to spout out from within.
Plates.
they make more damage because they are close to surface.....
tectonic plates

The quickest way to change the earth is an earthquake
the moving of the tectonic plates which makes the earths surface unstable which then causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

No, it it is when two plates come together in a sudden shift.
By slowing down the earths rotation but will not make effect to humans .
when some earthquakes come they make the ground or surface of the earth uneven which sometimes form mountains
Plates.
volcanoes change the earths surface due to the lava set hard and drys which can make the surface bobbly and ruff also it makes the land more fertilekill people
earthquakes make the earths crust collide and sometimes they smash together,such as if one peice of crust goes under the other...makng a point...
