How do hawaiian islands form on the tops volcanoes?
The quakes directly associated with the movement of magma are concentrated beneath the island's active volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa. Very shallow quakes frequently precede or accompany an eruption. Hundreds of such quakes make up swarms that commonly occur over a period of several hours or days before an eruption as magma forces its way into a new area. These quakes are seldom large enough to cause widespread damage, but they may produce extensive ground fracturing close to the potential eruption site. Once an eruption begins, the quakes usually diminish.
Impact on earth of a earthquakes?
It has many impacts on the Earth, such as moving the plates on the Earth to create earthquakes. It starts on fault lines, and it changes the Earth's surface in many ways, creating volcanoes and sometimes (if its in the water) it makes a tsunami!
What destroy nature?
* pollution * green house gases * littering * wild fires * tsunamis * earth quakes * tornados * waste products * volcanoes * meteorites
How often does a tsuami happen each year?
Tsunamis are actually fairly rare; there have only been two big ones this century so far, and a half-dozen smaller ones. We have had very bad luck so far this century; first Indonesia, and now Japan, both monster quakes and enormous tsunamis. Tsunamis aren't directly caused by earthquakes; they are caused by underwater landslides or upthrusts - which are often caused by earthquakes. So there is almost always an earthquake associated with any tsunami. If there isn't any underwater earth movement, there won't be a tsunami.
If Mars had earthquakes, would they be marsquakes?
yes im doing a project on sun quakes, moon quakes, and mars quakes
Do volcanoes cause earth quakes?
Sometimes they do.
What is bad about Italy?
you get loads of volcanoes, earth quakes and floods
Does Jupiter have any quakes volcanoes?
nope. but one of its moons does.
Are there any quakes or volcanoes on Neptune's surface?
No. Neptune is a gas giant. This means it is made of gas, therefore does not have a solid surface. Without a solid surface, it is impossible for plate activity such as quakes and volcanoes to occur.
What makes up the surface?
earth quakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur along the ring of fire?
This is where the fault lines of the North American and Pacific plate meet, an areas where there is lots of earthquakes, tsunamis (caused by quakes) and volcanoes. Underneath these cracks in the Earth is magma (lava inside the earth), every once in a while, this magma will come to the surface and form volcanoes. and that is basically itUser:Hectoria29
What two natural disasters come from plate tectonic movements?
Earth quakes and tsunami (also volcanoes)
If Mars had earthquakes would they be called marsquakes?
yes im doing a project on sun quakes, moon quakes, and mars quakes
How do scientists get information about the inner parts of the Earth?
the earth quakes and volcanoes have helped in the study of the inner parts of the earth
How do earth effect the earth?
There are plate tectonics in earth and when they move, earth quakes happens. Sometimes the plate tectonics can move a continent. This is called the continental drift. Earth quakes can make volcanoes explode, tsunamis happen, and continents break. For example: The continent Pangaea. Because of the plate tectonics that caused earthquakes, tsunamis, and continents braking apart, the Pangaea broke up in to more continents and the continents broke into even more. That is why there are 7 continents in the world now. Earth quakes don't cause all these. Plate tectonics does. Plate tectonics makes earth quakes. Then, other horrible stuff happens.

What are the negative effects of earth quakes?
buildings were damaged , peoples were trapped under the buildings , wealth of the country were lost and so many disadvantages were caused due to earth quakes
