What causes most deaths Earthquakes lightning Strikes or Hurricanes?
Earthquakes have caused more deaths than hurricanes, and hurricanes have caused more deaths than lightning.
What type of earthquake causes the most human injury and damage?
earthquakes that produce more horizontal
Why is the world affected mostly by earthquakes?
There are so many plates on our earth and if two of those plates spread apart, collide, of sink under one another, that causes an earthquake. Some countries are effected more by earthquakes than others.
What type of countries has earthquakes?
Everywhere on the planet suffers from earthquakes at some time. However there ares some places where earthquakes, particularly bad earthquakes, are more frequent. These places are located at continental margins.
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)
Why do earthquakes occur more often in some places than in others?
Because fat people live near fault lines and them waddling around causes the plates to shift
Why does Florida have less earthquakes than California?
California has more earthquakes then Florida, because California sits along the San Andreas Fault line. ( )-improvement, actually California sits on a series of many fault lines, the San Andreas only being one of them. San Andreas runs most of the length of the coast of California and is well known because it has a hard "kink" near LA which causes more violent earthquakes when it shifts, and can actually be seen in the topography of some areas of California from overhead.These fault lines are also a part of the "ring of fire" which causes the majority of the earthquakes and volcanoes along the West Coast of N America, Japan, and many of the Island chains of the Pacific.
What causes more damage shallow or deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow-focus earthquakes cause more damage than deep-focus earthquakes. This is because shallow-focus earthquakes originate closer to the Earth's surface, which allows the energy to be more concentrated and lead to stronger shaking and more destruction of structures. Deep-focus earthquakes, occurring deeper underground, tend to have their energy dissipate before reaching the surface.
How are earthquakes in mars called?
Earthquakes on Mars are called marsquakes. They are similar to earthquakes on Earth but have different causes, such as tectonic activity or impacts from meteorites. Scientists study marsquakes to learn more about the interior structure of Mars.
Why do some areas of the world have more earthquakes than others?
Some areas have more earthquakes because they are located near tectonic plate boundaries where the Earth's plates interact and cause seismic activity. The movement of these plates can lead to the buildup of stress in the Earth's crust, which is released as earthquakes. Areas with more active faults are more likely to experience frequent earthquakes.
Why are earthquakes more likely to happen in some parts of the world than others?
It has to do with stress in the earth's crust. There are more earthquakes where there is more stress. Most of this occurs at the boundaries between the tectonic plates as they slowly grind against each other.
What causes more catastrophe volcano or earthquake?
I'm pretty sure that earthquakes are more common. Also, earthquakes can open up cracks in volcanoes which leads to built up pressure being released from the core of the volcano, which usually leads to a volcanic eruption.
