What is the shadow zone caused by?
A shadow zone is caused by an earthquake. It is a region that is far away from the epicenter of the earthquake where seismic activity is minimized or not present.
When did California had the earthquake?
The first strong earthquake listed in earthquake annals for California occurred in the Los Angeles, California in 1769. The major earthquake affecting California were in between 1769 and 1989.
What is a deep earthquake?
Deep earthquakes occur in a region of the mantle called the Benioff zone, where seismic activity follows the interaction between a subducting plate and the upper mantle.
Which region in India was last hit by an earthquake what was the cause of the earthquake?
jamu and kashmir blaah
What plate is near the ring of fire?
Pacific Ring of Fire is the better term, and about 80% of the worlds earthquake originate along this region, and about 80% of the very large ones. This ring of fire roughly bounds the Pacific Tectonic Plate, but volcanic and earthquake activities become less common in the higher southern latitudes of this plate.
Name the most active region for earthquake and volcanic activity?
the west because the Andes and rockies are located there
What is the name for the region of volcanic activity in the Atlantic ocean?
The Mid Atlantic-Rift is the name for the region of volcanic activity in the Atlantic ocean.
Which region has the greatest amount of earthquake activity?
sss
What is the main theory about the cause of volcanic activity and earthquakes in this region?
Plate tectonics.
Explain the abundance of andesite of leyte?
Andesite is abundant in Leyte due to the volcanic activity in the region. Leyte is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region known for its high volcanic activity, which has resulted in the widespread presence of andesite. This volcanic rock is formed from the solidification of magma beneath the Earth's surface and is commonly found in areas with past or present volcanic activity.
Which region would you be more likely to experience an earthquake the northeast region or the pacific region?
northeast region
What is the shadow zone caused by?
A shadow zone is caused by an earthquake. It is a region that is far away from the epicenter of the earthquake where seismic activity is minimized or not present.
When did California had the earthquake?
The first strong earthquake listed in earthquake annals for California occurred in the Los Angeles, California in 1769. The major earthquake affecting California were in between 1769 and 1989.
Is north Queensland prone to earthquakes?
No. Ancient volcanic activity did occur in the region, but it is not at all prone to earthquakes in modern times.
Does the circum-pacific belt have the most active vocanic activity?
80% of the volcanic activity takes place in the Circum Pacific Belt region which is also known as the 'Ring of Fire'.
When oceanic plunges beneath continental crust volcanic activity and earthquakes may result in which region does this occur?
The continental margins of the Pacific Ocean
How is the movement of the Nazca Plate likely to affect South America?
The movement of the Nazca Plate in southern Peru over several hotspots has created some volcanic islands as well as east-west running seamount chains that subduct under South America. This may cause a lot more volcanic activity in the region.
