What is the main cause of earthquake's?
The main cause of earthquakes is when there is a sudden movement of various plate boundaries or when plates scrape against each other. Some earthquakes are also caused from old plate boundaries or faults. Many earthquakes happen at faults, such as the San Andreas Fault in California.
What are the 3 different types of rock movement in earthquakes?
Normal faults, reverse faults, and last but not least transform faults.
How is faults and earthquakes related?
hey bis and ann was here <3
Which kind of boundary is seen in earthquakes that are normal faults?
Transform boundaries are seen in earthquakes that are caused by normal faults. Some types of faults are listric or ring faults.
How faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the stress energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces.
What are faults caused by?
earthquakes
What are earthquakes associated with?
Faults
What are the actions of the faults?
Faults can create cracks in the earth and cause earthquakes.
Can earthquakes occur at faults?
yes, they can
How is it known that earthquakes are the result of movement along faults?
Because after earthquakes, it is possible to see examples of displacement of the ground across faults.
What is the relationship between the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes with regard to faults?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are most common near the faults at plate boundaries.
What are facts about faults?
1. Faults can be vertical or horizontal (approximately) 2. a fault is a separation or crack in the earths crust 3. when faults slide against each other they create an earthquake 4. Earthquakes can cause tsunamis 5. Earthquakes are found most commonly on fault lines
