What is a sudden shaking of the earths crust caused by the movement of tectonic plates?
EARTHQUAKE
A shaking of the ground caused by the sudden movement of large blocks of rock along a fault?
Sounds suspiciously like an earthquake. Indeed, it is.
When tectonic plates collide?
When tectonic plated collide they create an earthquake. It happens by them colliding and shaking each other forming a big movement.
Why do earthquakes almost always happen before lava erupts onto the land?
The plates underground are shaking up the lava therefore causing the lava to erupt. BOOM!!
What about earthquakes?
Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. When these plates shift, it can release energy in the form of seismic waves, resulting in the ground shaking. The magnitude of an earthquake is determined by the amount of energy released during this movement.
What the difference an earthquake and epicenter?
An earthquake is the shaking of the ground caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, usually due to the movement of tectonic plates. The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where the earthquake's energy release originates, typically underground along a fault line.
Why are volcanoes earthquakes and tsunamis so destructive?
They involve the movement of tectonic plates under the Earths surface. These land masses are so large that if they move significantly there can be catastrophic results, such as them shaking (earthquakes on land or tsunamis on water) or letting through molten lava (volcanoes).
What is a earthquack?
An earthquake is when two of the earths' plates shift to release tension between the two.
What is the point underground where faulting occurs during an earthquake?
The focus of an earthquake is the underground spot where the rock movement came from. The epicenter is the point on the surface above the focus.
What is located deep underground an earthquake?
Deep underground, an earthquake is caused by the release of stress that has built up between tectonic plates. This sudden release of energy generates seismic waves that propagate through Earth's crust, leading to the shaking of the ground surface.
What is earthquake in short answer?
when tectonics plates move suddenly/slip and cause a seismic wave
An earthquake is a shaking caused by the sudden movement of the earth's crust.?
Earthquakes occur both along plate edges and along faults. Most earthquakes will occur near the edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
