Which of these hazards out of earthquakes volcanoes mountains trenches and mudslides are at convergent boundaries?
earthquakes, volcanic activity, landslides, and avalanches.
Can lightning cause earthquakes?
No There are two main causes of earthquakes. Firstly, they can be linked to explosive volcanic eruptions; they are in fact very common in areas of volcanic activity where they either proceed or accompany eruptions. Secondly, they can be triggered by Tectonic activity associated with plate margins and faults. The majority of earthquakes world wide are of this type.
Why are tsunamis and earthquakes not considered weather?
because the definitiong of weather is activity in our atmosphere. Tsunamis and earthquakes are caused by earths tectonic plates shifting and moving not atmospheric activity.
What is tectonic activities?
Tectonic Activity- activity that occurs as a result of tectonic plate movement, for example: earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building in general.
What geological activity or activities happen at sliding plate boundaries?
Plate boundaries are associated with geological events such as earthquakes and creation of topographic features like the mountains, volcanoes, mid-ocean ridges, and oceanic trenches.

earthquakes, volcanic activity, landslides, and avalanches.
What three natural disasters prevalent along South America are associated with tectonic activity in the area?
Earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis.

Where does most seismic activity occur?
Most seismic activities are associated with areas of active tectonism. So earthquakes occurs principally in such areas.
Do earthquakes make mountains?
No.Mountains are the result of continental drift an volcanic activity. Earthquakes are also the result of continental drift an volcanic activity. Thus the two go together but the earthquakes do not cause the mountains.
How have conditions in the African rainforest affected human activity in that region?
The rainforest has excessive rain, mudslides, bugs with diseases, and animals.
What factors increase the potential for mass movement?
Gravity is one, volcanic activity, Mudslides, Earthquake shocks, Human modifications.
Can plate tectonics provide an answer to earthquakes and volcanic activity?
NO!
Why are tsunamis and earthquakes not considered weather?
because the definitiong of weather is activity in our atmosphere. Tsunamis and earthquakes are caused by earths tectonic plates shifting and moving not atmospheric activity.
What is an economic activity that provides raw materials to others?
secondary activity
What is the vocabulary term for earthquake?
The following words have to do with earthquakes:magnitudemoonquake (yes, earthquakes on the moon are called moonquakes)quakeshaketremorSee related link for more.
Are the Hawaiian islands made from earthquakes?
No, the creative process is by volcanic activity. Landforms can be altered by earthquakes as well as erosion.
