What will happen to earth without earthquakes?

Answer 1

Places that are not along fault lines planes* in the earth would have very few earthquakes. +++

In particular, places far from subduction zones, in which one of the Earth's crustal plates is being forced down below another.

*A fault plane is the fracture with displacement itself. Its line is the trace of the fault plane's intersection with the land surface.

There are no places on Earth that experience absolutely no earthquakes.

Answer 2

Have you seen Star Wars or answerd a rubiks cube?

Thats the answer.

Answer 3

All of the continents would most likely be all connected and hardly any space in between.
If the Earth did not have tectonic plates, we wuold not have things like earthquakes, rift vallys, trenches, mountains, volcanoes, seafloor spreading, island arcs, or subduction zones.
It really is impossible to predict how the Earth would be impacted if the heat from the interior of the planet that powers plate tectonics were to suddenly cease to exist, or if that heat never existed in the first place, because that is how planets are formed. But, for the sake of argument, let's say that the Earth cools sufficiently enough that the process of plate movement ceases.

Earth would have a much flatter topography as mountain creating plate collisions would not exist. Volcanoes over hot spots would create isolated hills, not mountains, and the effects of erosion would tend to flatten them out over time. Because the Earth had cooled sufficiently for plate movement to cease, it would also probably mean that that the protective magnetosphere that is created by the movement of the liquid outer core would cease to exist, allowing the bulk of Earth's atmosphere to be stripped away by solar winds. All surface plants and animals and water would disappear.

One thing is certain, however, life would not be the same without plate tectonics. In one sense, the constant transgression/regression, due in large part to tectonic forces, acts as an evolutionary pump forcing life to evolve. For example, the evolution of plants from marine to terrestrial settings. Without plate tectonics life would certainly be dramatically different, if not on a more speculative note, all together unlikely. The formation and breaking apart of super continents also strongly correlates with the largest mass extinctions throughout the geological record.

Note: This answer is solely based on good speculation (an educated guess). You can still have igneous rocks being weathered and eroded to become sedimentary rocks without plate tectonics. For example, Venus has had volcanism yet, as far as we have observed, lacks plate tectonics (probably due to the lack of surface water as it is the weight of sediment build up in basins that allows the underlying plate to be subducted).

Answer 4

Have you seen Star Wars or answerd a rubiks cube?

Thats the answer.

Answer 5

No new volcanoes would form, the earth's continents would still be conjoined into one, and there would be changes in the weather.

Answer 6

Probably peaceful, but without at least 1 earthquake then the world would be one area, as you no. and flat.

Answer 7

like the moon

Answer 8

the plates wouldnt move

Answer 9

ugly ugly
