What else can I help you with?
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Do most earthquakes occur on land or water?
The most earthquakes are mostly occurs on land
Do earthquakes occur on land?
Yes.
Do most earthquakes occur under the ocean floor or on land?
Most earthquakes occur on the ocean floor, particularly along tectonic plate boundaries such as the Pacific Ring of Fire. However, earthquakes can also occur on land where tectonic plates meet, such as along faults like the San Andreas Fault in California.
Are there oceans near where earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes could occur anywhere--on land or in sea. If they occur in the ocean, then they could trigger a tsunami warning.
Are there more earthquakes under the sea than on land?
Yes, there are more earthquakes under the sea than on land because the majority of Earth's tectonic plate boundaries are located beneath the ocean. These plate boundaries are where most earthquakes occur due to the movement of the plates.
Do earthquakes have to occur on land?
Nope - they can occur at sea too - they're the main cause of tidal waves.
What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
Do most earthquakes happen on land or at sea?
Most earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries on land. However, a significant number of earthquakes also occur underwater along oceanic ridges, subduction zones, and transform faults, which are beneath the ocean floor.
Do earthquakes occur under the sea?
Yes, it is quite common for earthquakes to occur under the sea. But they can also occur under the land. Any location on the Earth's surface (or close to the Earth's surface, to be more accurate) can have an earthquake, although of course, some locations are more prone to earthquakes than others.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Why Do More Earthquakes Occur In The Northern Hemisphere?
I am not sure that they actually do have more Earthquakes in the Northern hemisphere. However, as the Northern Hemisphere has more land mass than the Southern hemisphere, more land based Earthquakes will inevitably be detected.
