What three things happen to the Earth's crust when earthquakes occur?
Three things that happen to the Earth's crust when earthquakes occur include, a release in energy, plates sliding past one another, and fractures developing in the crust. Not all of these things happen at the same time and which occurs depends on the strength of the earthquake.
Do earthquakes happen in deserts?
Yes, earthquakes can happen in deserts. Earthquakes are caused by geological processes within the Earth's crust, so they can occur in any location, including deserts. The level of seismic activity in a desert area may vary, but earthquakes can still occur.
What are earthquakes. How do they occur?
earthquakes happen when sections of the earths crust shift.These shifting parts called plates,are actually pieces of the crust floating on the hot molten interior of the earth. The majority of earthquakes happen along the edges of those plates,and along weak areas of the crust called fault zones
Does an earthquake occur only in continental crust?
No, earthquakes can occur anywhere in the crust, oceanic crust or continental crust. An earthquake occurs when the hard brittle solid material of the crust fractures under stress. Earthquakes cannot occur deeper than the crust (the mantle is plastic and flows slowly under stress instead of fracturing, the outer core is liquid and flows even easier than the mantle).
Why do most earthquakes occur in the litosphere?
the crust
Where do the volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
They Can occur anywere a Fault Line is on Earth They happen when earths crust releases and the Fault Line send out Energy =p
What are the types of things that occur in the crust?
Some of the things that occur in the Earth's crust include tectonic plate movement, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and the formation of mountains and valleys. The crust is also where most geological processes, such as erosion and deposition, take place.
fault?
a crack in earth's crust where earthquakes occur
Which of these occur when Earth's crust slips a fault line tornadoes earthquakes snowstorms or water erosion?
Earthquakes occur when the crust slips. The other events and processes are unrelated.
How and why earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur when a shift in the earth's crust causes tremors to rock the surface of the earth around the shift. Since the Earth's crust is divided into different plates, and these plates move around (very slowly) on the earth, there are earthquakes. Also, since there are different parts that the plates meet at, there are certain "hotspots" where more earthquakes happen (where the plates meet).
What sphere do earthquakes happen in?
Earthquakes occur within the lithosphere, which is the rigid outer part of the Earth that includes the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The lithosphere is divided into several tectonic plates that move and interact with one another, leading to the occurrence of earthquakes.
Where do Earthquakes mostly occur and why?
They mostly occur near Oprah's house because when she gets angry, bad things happen.
