Is there a relationship between the direction of movement and distribution of earthquakes?
Volcanoes
Is there a relationship between movement and distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes?
Volcanoes don't move. Earthquakes move tectonic plates, and are then pronounced "earthquakes". So, no, I'm pretty sure there isn't.
What is the relationship between earthquakes and crustal movement?
Crustal movements cause earthquakes because of the sound waves and the movement underground.
What is a seismomter?
A seismometer is a seismograph made to measure the direction, intensity, and duration of earthquakes. It does this by measuring the actual movement of the ground.
Why do earthquakes cause damage?
Earthquakes possess a unique way of damaging structures. Earthquakes vibrate and shake structures, never in just one direction. This chaotic back-and-forth movement is very harmful to architecture.
Why can earthquakes signal volcanic eruption?
The movement of magma can cause movement in the surrounding rock, resulting in earthquakes.
Why can earthquakes signal possible volcanic eruption?
The movement of magma can cause movement in the surrounding rock, resulting in earthquakes.
Does New Zealand have earthquakes?
All of New Zealand has earthquakes. Have a look for a map of NZ earthquakes 1990 - 99 on the gns.cri.nz website. Shallow earthquakes are spread indifferently throughout NZ. And these are the ones of most importance to buildings etc. Deep earthquakes have a different distribution, and are more closely associated with the descending Pacific Plate. The shallow earthquakes reflect the strains generated by the plate movement and the subsequent redistribution of strains.
What is the cause for earthquakes in Japan?
The Movement of Techtonic Plates causes the earthquakes in Japan.
In which direction does friction act compared o the direction of movement?
In the same direction as the movement
What do Earthquakes and volcanoes show power of what kind of movement?
plate movement
Are earthquakes geologic in nature?
Yes. Earthquakes generally result from the movement of tectonic plates.
