What is the main theory about the cause of volcanic activity and earthquakes in this region?
Plate tectonics.
Do lightning cause Earthquakes?
No, lightning does not cause earthquakes.
Is a fire a secondary effect of earthquakes?
Fire is often, but not always a secondary effect of earthquakes. If the earthquake strikes a populated area, it is likely to break natural gas pipes, and to cause other damage in human structures that will result in fires. In an unpopulated region, an earthquake may not cause a fire.
What is the main cause of a landslide?
tectonic movements coupled with a slope greater than the angle of inclination can cause a landslide
What effect does HAARP have on earthquakes?
H.A.A.R.P. has no effect on earthquake, nor does any human operation. Earthquakes are entirely beyond our influence.
Is pollution considered an effect of earthquakes?
No. Earthquakes sometimes cause pollution, but pollution is not an effect of an earthquake.
Do earthquakes effect buildings?
Yes, earthquakes do affect buildings in all areas. They cause them to fall and cause various causalities.
Is the motion of lithospheric plates a major cause of earthquakes?
It is the main cause of earthquakes. However you may get minor earthquakes due to volcanic activity or mass wasting events.
What is the main theory about the cause of volcanic activity and earthquakes in this region?
Plate tectonics.
Is there any effect on volcanic eruption by earthquakes?
earthquakes pressurize the main magma chamber in a volcano by the earth crust. as a result the magma comes out of the volcano
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 some reading structures?
The main text structures include, main idea and supporting detail, chronological order, compare and contrast, problem and solution, and cause and effect.
Does climate change earthquakes?
No. There is no primary cause-effect relationship between plate tectonics and weather patterns.
Do lightning cause Earthquakes?
No, lightning does not cause earthquakes.
Can earthquakes occur on the coast and by trenches?
Yes, depending whether the main cause was the volcano erupting.
Is a fire a secondary effect of earthquakes?
Fire is often, but not always a secondary effect of earthquakes. If the earthquake strikes a populated area, it is likely to break natural gas pipes, and to cause other damage in human structures that will result in fires. In an unpopulated region, an earthquake may not cause a fire.
Do earthquakes have to occur on land?
Nope - they can occur at sea too - they're the main cause of tidal waves.
