What really causes an earthquake?
When tectonic plates collide an Earthquake is created.
What does an earthquake's intensity primarily depend on?
The Intensity of an earthquake primarily depends on the force the earths plates collide against each other (the heavier plate would go down wards {oceanic plates} and the lighter plates {the Continental plates} go up up wards) , and that vibrations cause a earthquake.
What causes the fracture in the ground in earthquake?
Plates under the ground rub against each other creating friction and therefore raise and crack the surface.
What is it called when 2 tectonic plates pass each another?
earthquake
How did the napier earthquake occur?
usually an earthquake occurs because underneath the earths crust are tectonic plates and when they move occasionlly one will get caught but the outside is still moving and that causes an earthquake
What is the point in earth's interior where the energy released causes an earthquake called?
The Tectonic Plates.
What really causes an earthquake?
When tectonic plates collide an Earthquake is created.
------- Of earth plates causes an earthquake?
tension
What causes a major earthquake to occur where plates meet?
The friction between the plates. When the friction is resolved, an earthquake occurs.
What causes earthquake at diversion boundaries?
moving of tectonic plates (lithospheric plates)
What is the major thing that causes earthquake?
tectonic plates
Causes for earthquake?
tetonic plates in a transform boundary
What will happened if tectonic plates separate?
causes of earthquake
What causes patterns in earthquake activity?
The shifting of plates causes patterns in earthquake activity. Different plates shift in different degrees depending on the friction and temperatures involved.
What is the predicted?
The earthquake predictions depend on everyday life because the tectonic plates move a few micrometres each day. where two tectonic plates meet is called a convergent boundary and this causes an earthquake but look online and if you live in New Zealand by any chance the likelyhood of an earthquake is reasonably high. Adam.
How does subduction cause earthquakes?
the disturbment of the earth's tectonic plates causes an earthquake. It basically causes a couple of plates to crash.
What is it called when plates collide?
an earthquake
