Earthquakes occur when stress builds up within the Earth's lithosphere exceeding the strength of the rock mass along a (normally pre-existing plane of weakness known as a) fault which most commonly occurs at the boundaries of tectonic plates.
The largest earthquakes tend to occur at convergent and transform boundaries where two plates are either colliding, or sliding past each other respectively.
It is different for each earthquake.
Most earthquakes last only seconds. That's why the Haiti earthquake was so devastating - it lasted more than a minute.
till now maximum time earthquake has happened in Chile and that is 9.5 minutes we can't say if there are earthquakes in future for more time.
anywhere from 2 seconds to 2 hours
1 hour to 3 hours
never
It took over ten years to recover after the Shaanxi earthquake
1 month
400000 long years
A metamorphic rock is most likely to form in an earthquake zone.
because it was only bunnies that were cleaning up it took 24 years
by a earthquake
it toke a long time and they still have not recovered
It took over ten years to recover after the Shaanxi earthquake
the long term effects are seismic waves which are little earthquakes after thr REAL earthquake; they will go on for who knows how long....the short terms the length of the REAL earthquake the truth is no one knows how long it will take to recover from Haiti it might take years it might take more or less.......just help in whatever way you can!!!
1 month
Billions of years
It will take a long time because Haiti is very poor. No one will for get about Haiti
Exactly how long does it take natural gas to form? Exactly how long does it take natural gas to form?
it takes 12 or 24 hours
About 10 years.
it depends on how big the earthquake is cause remember earthquakes happen suddenly unlike a hurricane so they might respond after the news of an earthquake has been released
it takes well no one ever knows
