What is most damaged by earthquakes?
Most earthquakes are caused by plates sliding aginst each other.
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
Do most earthquakes form in the us?
No, earthquakes form all around the world. They form on the edges of the tectonic plates
What bounderys can cause the most earthquakes transform convergent or divergent bounerys?
Typically, a transform boundary because the two plates are sliding past each other.
Where is the most liable place for earthquakes?
The most liable place for an earthquake is on a major fault line. Japan suffers strong earthquakes yearly. They suffer about 1500 a year.
What is the cause of most earthquakes?
the movement of tectonic or lithoshereic plates
What cause most earthquakes?
when tectonic plates slide past eachother
What are most earthquakes cause by?
moving tectonic plates on earths surface
Do moving plates cause tornadoes?
No. Moving plates cause most earthquakes but have absolutely nothing to do with tornadoes. Tornadoes are caused by strong thunderstorms.
Why does an earthquake zone have earthquakes if no volcanoes are there?
Volcanoes are not the primary cause of earthquakes. Most earthquakes result from the stresses created by tectonic plates moving past or against one another. At transform boundaries there is no mechanism to produce volcanoes, but the movement of the plates will still cause earthquakes. Stresses within a plate can also cause earthquakes.
Does volcanoes cause most of the earthquakes?
No, but they are very related. Tectonic plates shift which could cause earthquakes because of the strong vibrations and could also cause the pushing up of magma, causing the volcano to erupt.
What is one thing that can cause a tsunami?
Most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes below the sea level. These undersea earthquakes are a result of shifting in the earths tectonic plates.
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of these?
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are always in motion, and when two of them collide with one another it causes earthquakes.
What occurs at a transform boundary?
The plates slide past each other. It can cause earthquakes.
How do most earthquakes occur?
the movement of plates
What is most damaged by earthquakes?
Most earthquakes are caused by plates sliding aginst each other.
Explain how tectonic plate motion is related to earthquakes?
It all has to do with the faults and plates of the earth.(if you don't know what those are just google them.) When they move they can cause mountains or make old mountains bigger , cause volcanos, ocean ridges and trenches, and finally earthquakes. When the faults or plates rub against each other they cause the land to also shake. Which causes earthquakes.
