Can oil extractions cause earthquakes?
Not often does it happen on a large scale, but some oil drilling causes miniature ground shakes. This would not be noticeable by anyone, and it would also be so small that it would cause no damage. If you are asking if it causes earthquakes like the ones you hear on the news, then the answer is no.
What causes an earthquake and what negative effects can it have on the environment?
Movement of the Tectonic plates below the surface of the earth causes earthquakes. Negative effects of earthquakes are- 1 It causes a great damage to life and property. 2 It sometimes causes Tsunami also.
If an earthquake happens under the ocean it causes giant waves called?
These waves are called "Tsunami" Note , Earthquakes CAN cause giant waves (not all sub sea earthquakes do this). Note also that there are other causes of Tsunami.
What type of stress causes an earthquake?
Tectonic stress causes most earthquakes. This stress is generated as tectonic plates move and collide with each other, building up pressure that is eventually released as an earthquake. Other types of stress, such as volcanic or anthropogenic activities, can also trigger earthquakes in specific circumstances.
Why are most earthquakes and volcanoes located near plate boundaries -?
Earthquakes and volcanoes frequently occur where edges of the earths plates are colliding and or moving away from another.
Which branch of science deal with the study of the earthquakes?
Seismology is the branch of science that deals with the study of earthquakes. Seismologists study the vibrations and waves produced by earthquakes to understand their causes and effects. They also investigate earthquake prediction, monitoring, and mitigation strategies.
What causes earthquakes and tsunamis?
What causes earth quakes is the plates under earth move or collide with each other and shake the earth. Tsunamis can be caused also by earthquakes, especially those centered on the ocean floor. But they can also be caused by landslides and other natural events near the oceans. See the related questions below.
What are seismologists?
Seismologists are scientists who study earthquakes and the movements of the Earth's crust. They analyze seismic waves to understand the causes and effects of earthquakes, as well as to help mitigate their impact on society. Seismologists also study other related phenomena, such as volcanic activity and tsunamis.
How do earthquakes occur on convergent boundaries?
Earthquakes occur on convergent boundaries when tectonic plates collide, creating immense pressure. The immense pressure causes one plate to be forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. The process of subduction generates seismic waves, leading to earthquakes.
How do nonliving things affect living things?
Without earthquakes, there would be a greater population and less damage. Also, earthquakes kill so many people.

What god is Poseidon known as?
He is the god of the sea. In roman mythology, Poseidon is called Neptune. He is also the one that causes earthquakes and Poseidon is the creator of horses.
