What are earthquakes related to?
Earthquakes are related to plate movements as it is caused by them.
What plate boundary is associated with earthquakes in Alaska?
The collision between the Pacific Oceanic Plate and the North American Continental plate can cause earthquakes in Alaska.
Is an earthquakes a convergent or transform?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
What is the connection between mountains and plate boundaries?
mountains are usually formed on plate boundaries because earthquakes happen at plate boundaries. earthquakes can form mountains.
Can earthquakes affect plate tectonics?
Earthquakes are really the result of plate tectonics, not the cause. The moving plates touch at their boundaries and then occasionally suddenly slip. The sudden slip are the earthquakes.
What does tremor mean when your talking about volcanos and earthquakes?
A small earthquake
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Do earthquakes occur in plate interiors?
yes earthquakes happen at all types of plate boundaries but most of them occur at destructive, collisional, and conservative plate boundaries
When talking about earthquakes What does compression mean when talking about earthquakes?
when to continental plate are together and they are trying to slide past one another but can't so compression builds up around the continental plates and one all that pressure releases it makes an earthquake By the way i learned that in science class but i could be wrong because i forgot some of the stuff:)
What are three plate motions that can cause earthquakes?
Any and all plate motion causes earthquakes.
Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
Why do some earthquakes occur inside plate boundaries in the interior of a lithospheric plate?
some earthquakes happen inside the plate because they are dumb
What are earthquakes related to?
Earthquakes are related to plate movements as it is caused by them.
What plate boundary is associated with earthquakes in Alaska?
The collision between the Pacific Oceanic Plate and the North American Continental plate can cause earthquakes in Alaska.
Can Italy get earthquakes?
Yes. Italy is near the plate boundary where the African Plate subducts under the Eurasian Plate, making it very prone to earthquakes.
Why is Australia not in an earthquake volcano area?
Because Austrailia is NOT on the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is a "ring" where volcanoes and earthquakes mark. Also, Austrailia doesn't touch a plate, but I don't mean a DINNER plate. I mean a LAND plate. Earthquakes moastly happen when two plates overlap and shake the land or a volcano errupts.
Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?
The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.
