When earthquakes occur what waves do they produce?
Seismic waves and tsunamis.
Why do some underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis and others don't?
Underwater earthquakes can cause tsunamis when they displace a large volume of water, usually due to vertical movement of the seafloor. The greater the displacement and the closer the earthquake is to the seafloor surface, the higher the chance of generating a tsunami. Earthquakes that occur deeper under the seafloor and have minimal vertical displacement are less likely to trigger a tsunami.
Do volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur ONLY at the boundaries?
No. Volcanoes can be found at hot spots away from plate boundaries. These volcanoes can produce earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur at areas of ancient geologic activty such as failed rifts and can occur as a result fo glacier retreating.
Why do most earthquakes occur near tectonic plate boundaries?
Tectonic plates move along, against, or away from eachother at their boundaries. These movements produce earthquakes
What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
Why do Earthquakes most commonly occur near tectonic plate boundaries.?
Tectonic plates move along, against, or away from eachother at their boundaries. These movements produce earthquakes
Describe specific findings on Earth's seafloor?
Movement of seismic waves in earthquakes
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 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.
What geologic events occur at transform boundries?
Earthquakes
