Why are earthquakes less likely to happen at the centers of the earth?
they are less likely to happen at the center of Earth's plates because the plates collide in the front or in the back and unless a plate is the middl3e and another is moving to its center it well most likey not hit its center.
Where are earthquakes likely to occur in US and why?
where cracks in the earth's plates connect. it is because the earth is constantly moving from the rotation of orbit causing plates to shift & make earthquakes
When are earthquakes most likely to happen?
When the tectonic plates move underneath the continents.
Where are earthquakes most likely to occer?
earthquakes are most likely to occur at the boundaries of tectonic plates. Especially at transform or convergent boundaries where the two plates are being forced to slide past each other or against each other.
Are earthquakes most likely at the fault along the boundary between two plates?
Yes!
Are Earthquakes are most likely at faults along the boundary between two plates?
Yes!
What types of people are more vulnerable to earthquakes?
Its not people that are vunelrable, its more like countries. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plates shifting and giving way, its where 2 plates meet that earthquakes are caused. On google images you can probably find tectonic plates maps and it will show you where and what places are on top of the plates. Other then that no specific people are targeted unless you count the residents of the countries!
Can Scientists can identify where earthquakes will most likely occur?
They will happen around the edges of tectonic plates.
Why is japan most likely to get earthquakes?
because of the tectonic plates. look it up on g00gle images
Do earthquakes cause sliding plates?
If you mean tetonic plates, then no, sliding tetonic plates cause earthquakes.
Why are earthquakes most likely to occur?
when earthquakes occur they're most likely on or near tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are the different segments of the earths crust. Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates move towards, away eathother or when one plate weighs more than the other and bottom one melts away and becomes magma (lava underground). Basically a shift in the earth. Because both earthquakes and volcanoes are both linked to tectonic plates, earthquakes can also set off tremors than can make some volcanoes erupt!
What is likely to occur on the earth's surface where it lies above the edges of crustal plates?
volcanoes,earthquakes,mountains
