What fault line is Japan on?
Japan is located near a triple fault line between the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate (the Japan Trench) and the Philippine plate (the Nankai Trough).
Why is Japan more likely than Australia to have volcanic eruptions and earthquakes?
Answer Japan is located along a convergent plate boundary where oceanic crust is subducted under the continental crust. Plate collisions such as this will result in volcanism and earthquakes when the enormous pressures associated with such collisions is released through sudden plate movement. Australia is not located along a plate boundary.
Why does Japan have to have an earthquake?
Japan is more prone to earthquakes than other countries due to it's location on fault lines. Japan is actually located on the boarder of two converging plates. The Eurasian plate to the west of it and the Pacific plate to the east.
What plate boundary is Mount Oyama on?
mount aso is a ocianic plate boundry as it is near enough in sea water and it full of it but does no sit on sea water mount aso is on land but through the middle of the volcano is underwater. any questions :)
Are the Japan and Christchurch earthquakes related?
Yes, they are both located on the Pacific plate boundary, which is moving to the northwest.
What type of plate margin does Japan have?
Japan sits on top of a destructive plate margin.
What is the name of the tectonic plate in Hokkaido japan?
The Okhotsk Plate is the name of the tectonic plate near Hokkaido, Japan. Its borders are the Pacific Plate, the Philippine Sea Plate, the Eurasian Plate, and the Amurian Plate.
Which plates are converging off the west coast of Japan?
Japan lies over 4 tectonic plates. These are:The North American PlateThe Eurasian PlateThe Pacific Plate.
Does Japan get earthquakes?
Yes. Japan is on the 'The Ring Of Fire' where the Pacific plate meets the Eurasian plate.
Why do you think earthquakes are frequent in Japan?
The islands of Japan are located in a volcanic zone on the Pacific Ring of Fire. They are primarily the result of large oceanic movements occurring over hundreds of millions of years from the mid-Silurian to the Pleistocene as a result of the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the continental Amurian Plate and Okinawa Plate to the south, and subduction of the Pacific Plate under the Okhotsk Plate to the north.
What techtonic plate is japan on?
Ur mummas plate
Why Indonesia has the most volcanoes?
Because Indonesia is located on the rim of two tectonic plates: the Indian and Asian plates. The Indian plate is moving northward pushing against the Asian plate. Part of the Indian plate plunged into the earth and part of the Asian plate move upward and forming the Himalayan Mountain.
