What is the difference in spreading center earthquakes and subduction zone?
Spreading center earthquakes are always shallow, subduction zone earthquakes can be very deep.Spreading center earthquakes are typically of lower magnitude than subduction zone earthquakes.
Has there ever been earthquake in Vietnam?
Yes, Vietnam is located in a seismically active zone and has experienced earthquakes in the past. The country lies on the boundaries of several tectonic plates, making it prone to seismic activity. While most earthquakes in Vietnam are relatively small and not widely felt, there have been larger earthquakes in the past, particularly in the northern and central regions of the country.
What is a zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in Pacific Ocean is called?
ring of fire... THIS ANSWER IS WRONGGG! I TRIED IT AND IT WAS WRONG!
Do earthquakes start volcano eruptions?
Yes. Earthquakes can start volcano eruptions. Most of the time they don't, but if you have an ACTIVE volcano in your area then yes they can. What is an active volcano? An active volcano is a volcano that hasn't died off. Just like the volcano in hawii, it's active as it constantly pours hot red lava into the ocean.
Is the ring of fire is called because it has loads of volcanoes?
The border of the Pacific Ocean is a tectonically active zone with lots of earthquakes and volcanoes; you are correct that it is the volcanoes which have inspired the term "ring of fire".
What is an inactive zone?
An active zone is where earthquakes happen and inactive is where they don't.
Where do earthquakes appear most?
According to the USGS Indonesia is very active seismic zone and has the most earthquakes for a given country while Tonga, Fiji probably has the most earthquakes per unit area. China, Iran, Japan and Turkey are all in seismically active areas and also rank high in number of earthquakes.
What areas of the world have the most earthquakes?
Indonesia is in a very active seismic zone, also, but by virtue of its larger size than Japan, it has more total earthquakes.
What active fault zone generate earthquakes?
The San Andreas Fault
Why does Taiwan have so many earthquakes?
because it is located on an active zone and it is on top of the pacfic ring of fire
Does Hawaii have the most earthquakes and volcanoesin the US?
Kilauea is the only active volcano as far as I know. We do not have the most earthquakes.
What are seismic gap?
a segment of an active fault zone that has not experienced a major earthquake over a span when most other segments have. such segments are probable sites for future major earthquakes
Why do strong earthquakes occur where there have been many recent earthquakes?
I can't really say in detail .....but it is most likely that its because there is a default in that area ....like in California ..there are several defaults there and thousands of earthquakes occur each day there. BECAUSE its a active earthquake zone." :D Earthquakes also occur in Alaska and also; off the coast of Mexico....
What is the difference in spreading center earthquakes and subduction zone?
Spreading center earthquakes are always shallow, subduction zone earthquakes can be very deep.Spreading center earthquakes are typically of lower magnitude than subduction zone earthquakes.
What country in Russia has earthquakes most often?
Indonesia has the most earthquakes because it's in a very active seismic zone, but Indonesia is a very large country. The country with the most earthquakes per unit area is probably Tonga or Fiji.
Does Alaska have earthquakes?
Yes. Southern Alaska and the Aleutian Islands border a subduction zone, where one tectonic plate slides under another. This subduction zone has produced some of the most powerful Earthquakes on Earth.
Do earthquakes occur in Indonesia yes or no?
Yes. Indonesia is in a very earthquake prone zone. In 2004 it had one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded.
