The shifting of plates causes patterns in earthquake activity. Different plates shift in different degrees depending on the friction and temperatures involved.

What month has the most earthquake activity in California?
March
Which cycle causes earthquake and volcanic activity?
The Carbon Cycles mostly causes all of it. Espicially Plate Tectonics causes most of it all by causing plates to collide,grind, and slide across each other. My number one answer would be plate tectonis, and movement.
What word describes centers of earthquake activity?
Ring of Fire
What level earthquake causes a tsunami?
6.9
What are natural causes of an earthquake?
The movement of the earth's crust and the plate boundaries, cause seismic activity, which causes the earth to rumble, causing the feel of an 'earthquake'.
What is an earthquake and a seismic activity?
A seismic activity is an earthquake... An earthquake is when the tectonic plates (under ground) clash together, which causes an earthquake. Earthquakes can be very small or huge depending on where the country is. They can kill thousands of people, knock down buildings and create huge cracks in the ground. They are measured on a Richter scale. :)
What is a mega earthquake?
A mega earthquake is seismic activity below the earths crust that causes fluctuations in the earths tectonic plates. This forces the ground to shake and the earths crust to crack.
What is an example of a mitigation activity?
An example of a mitigation activity is installing a flood barrier to reduce the impact of flooding on a community. This proactive measure helps prevent damage to properties and infrastructure by diverting or containing floodwaters.
What instrument produces patterns which indicate earthquake?
seismograph
What is the point on earths surface where the seismic activity is strongest in an earthquake?
The vibrations of a earthquake are strongest where the falt line is.
What does the rotation of earth causes?
earthquake No, not earthquake, but changes in atmospheric pressure.
Does global warming affect earthquake activity?
no
Are there volcanic or earthquake activity in Mexico?
yes
Why are there associated fires following an earthquake?
An earthquake may destroy dams and levees.IAn earthquake may alter weather patterns and produce severe rainstorms.
What causes earthquakes what areas in North America are more prone to earthquake activity?
Earthquakes are caused by the shifting of the Earth's plates usually at transform boundaries. California is a major earthquake area in NA because of the San Andreas fault line.
