How earthquacks happened?
The tectonic plates that create earth surface move and sometimes hit each other, if they hit just a little bit, an earthquake results. California is an example, two tectonic plates match up there, and that is why there are always earthquakes. Some even say it will drift away from the usa because of the constant tectonic plate movement

Name and describe the type of tectonic stress that forms fault - block mountains?
Tectonic stress forms faults and blocks mountains.
What is the amount of ground displacement in an earthquake?
It depends on the intensity of the earthquake and the type of slippage that caused it.
What type of earthquake did Haiti suffer?
It was a conservative earthquake caused by tectonic plates under ground, that rub together to make friction.
What type of earthquake hit Haiti?
Haiti was a conservative (AKA transforming) earthquake, were tow tectonic plates move past each other causing friction, on of them gives rapid shaking is caused making an earth quake.7.0

What type of plates caused the Chile earthquake in 1960?
Tectonic plates formed the earthquake in 1960 due to a collision with one another.
How did Haiti prepare for their earthquake?
You can predict earthquakes by calculating the occurrence interval (how common certain magnitudes of a type of disaster are for a location), the larger the event the less common it will be. you can also look at the position of the fault lines and tectonic plate and how long it is since they have moved. There are also usually some ground tremors before the actual earthquake that would give warning. Haiti prepared terribly because it was extremely poor.
What type of stress on the plates caused the Japan's earthquake in sendai 2011?
It is called tectonic stress.
When a new volcano is discovered what type of plate interaction is most likely cause of the volcano?
Lateral movement of the tectonic plates is the interaction that is the most likely cause of the volcano. The outermost shell of the planet is broken up into tectonic plates.
