Does all motion along large faults occur in the form of destructive earthquakes?
No, all motion along the faults can also occur in the form of a tsunami
Why do scientists think that an earthquake will occur at the San Andrea's fault?
Because it is a fault and earthquakes usually occur near faults.
What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movements occur?
fault
Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
Where do earthquakes mostly occur?
Earthquakes usually occur near or on the border of faults. Earthquakes are constantly occuring, but usually major quakes are happening near faults. Often times when it is far from a fauly it wil be a small, or minor earthquake.
Can earthquakes occur at faults?
yes, they can
Do earthquakes mostly occur at faults that are away from plate boundaries?
False. Earthquakes mostly occur along faults that are at or very near to plate boundaries.
A large number of volcanoes and earthquakes occur along the ring of fire because several faults exist at plate boundaries in the region?
True
What place do the earthquakes most occur?
They usually occur in places where two plates meet- faults.
Does all motion along large faults occur in the form of destructive earthquakes?
No, all motion along the faults can also occur in the form of a tsunami
Is this statement true or false A large number of volcanoes and earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire because several faults exist at plate boundaries in this region.?
c
Do earthquakes often occur at at faults that are away from plate boundaries?
Yes, but not as often as earthquakes happen near plate boundaries
Why do earthquakes occur along faults?
because that's where the edges of the plates are and that's where it shifts
Which are used for short range predictions of when earthquakes will occur?
Answer: Strain in rocks near faults.
Is it true that earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundaries?
yes
Do earthquakes spread the earth apart?
Not necessarily. Earthquakes occur when there is movement along cracks in the Earth's crust called faults. There are three main types of fault, all of which can produce earthquakes. Normal faults usually occur where the crust is being pulled apart. Reverse faults, also called thrust faults, are usually found where sections of the crust are pushed together. Transform faults occur where sections of the crust slide past each other horizontally, neither pushing together nor pulling apart.
Why do scientists think that an earthquake will occur at the San Andrea's fault?
Because it is a fault and earthquakes usually occur near faults.
