What else can I help you with?
What moves mountains?
Earthquakes, and other large movements of ground
Do earthquakes make mountains?
No.Mountains are the result of continental drift an volcanic activity. Earthquakes are also the result of continental drift an volcanic activity. Thus the two go together but the earthquakes do not cause the mountains.
Do mountains prevent earthquake shocks?
Mountains do not prevent earthquakes, in fact mountains were created by the occurrence of earthquakes.
Why folding and faulting is one of the main causes behind earthquakes?
earthquakes often occur near fold mountains because fold mountains are formed on the earth's fault lines ( invisble lines in the earth's crust) and earthquakes happen when two fault lines crash together.
What is the result of plates of earth pushing together or convergent movement?
The result of plates of Earth pushing together, or convergent movement, can lead to the formation of mountains, subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath another, and seismic activity such as earthquakes. This interaction also contributes to the formation of volcanic arcs and trenches.
Is global warming causing the earthquakes this year?
No, earthquakes are caused by the tectonic plates that cover the earth moving slowly together or apart. Plates moving together gradually form mountains, like the Rocky Mountains, or the Andes. When the pressure of the plates gets too much they give a jolt, and that is an earthquake. Nothing to do with global warming.
What have earthquakes got to do with mountains?
when some earthquakes come they make the ground or surface of the earth uneven which sometimes form mountains
What happen when plate on earth crust push together?
under land: Mountains, earthquakes, tsunamis, ....Look up the 'wilson cycle'
What is it called when earth's surface move?
When Earth's surface moves, it is called tectonic plate movement. This movement is responsible for earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
What area has mountains but no earthquakes?
California
How are earthquakes and mountains alike?
They are NOT alike.
How are mountains and earthquakes the same?
They aren't.
