What else can I help you with?
Do earthquakes cause sliding plates?
If you mean tetonic plates, then no, sliding tetonic plates cause earthquakes.
What caused the Chile and Haiti earthquakes?
tetonic plates
What type of geologic actions do you think happen at the boundaries of tetonic plates?
Volcanoes, caused by slipping plates, and earthquakes, caused by rubbing plates.
What is happening at the boundary and how is that linked to earthquakes?
When the tetonic plates push against eachother at the boundries it causes land to shift and that forms earthquakes
Why does Japan have more earthquakes than Britain?
Because it is located near the ring of fire, therefore it is more exposed to the tension between the tetonic plates. (Most of the movement of the tectonic plates causes earthquakes)
What natural disaster is caused by earthquakes but could also be caused by an asteroid?
earthquakes cause fires and tsunamis. earthquakes are caused either ice bergs falling down from somewhere e.g iceland or antarctica, or from the tetonic plates clashing together, or they go after volcanic eruptions
Do colliding plates cause earthquakes?
Actually colliding plates cause earthquakes
What cause plates?
earthquakes
How many tetonic plates are there on earth?
There are around 15 major tectonic plates on Earth, as well as several smaller plates. These plates are constantly moving and interacting with each other, which is responsible for phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
When plates collide they cause what?
they cause earthquakes
What is the relationship between the location of recent earthquakes and major faults in California?
most people in calafornia are really fat and they move about wobbleing the tetonic plates.
What two plates cause most of Alaska's earthquakes?
The Pacific and North American plates cause most of Alaska's earthquakes.
