What else can I help you with?
Why do earthquakes occur at volcanoes?
To release pressure.
What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
What must be passed for earthquakes to occur?
Earthquakes occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust. This release of energy is typically caused by the movement of tectonic plates along faults. The stress built up along the fault lines is released as seismic waves, resulting in an earthquake.
Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Do earthquakes occur as earth's plates collide?
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur
What geologic events occur at transform boundries?
Earthquakes
What type of earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes?
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
Earthquakes can occur when the what of rocks is passed?
Earthquakes can occur when the stress limit of rocks is passed, causing them to break and release built-up energy in the form of seismic waves that shake the Earth's surface.
What time does a earthquake occur?
Earthquakes can occur at any time of day or night. They are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere, typically along fault lines. Monitoring and predicting earthquakes is an area of ongoing scientific research.
What occur along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
