Earthquakes will occur on fault lines in the Earth's crust. When the plates of the Earth's crust shift, the gaps in between them shift as well and cause earthquakes.
how are earthquakes and earth crust the same
They were established so people could plot the locations of earthquakes
On active fault lines...
3. With 2 you can get possible locations (where the 2 circles intersect). With the 3rd reading, that circle will intersect the other two circles at one of those 2 candidate locations. See the link for a description.http://www.geo.mtu.edu/UPSeis/locating.html
Earthquakes are most common where plates of the crusts collide or separate and especially in the Pacific ring of fire. The pacific ring of fire is a chain of volcanoes and earthquakes along the edges of the Pacific ocean.
Nothing. It all has to do with plate tectonics.They push up rock from the crust causing earthquakes. There are plates in places like California, which is why earthquakes are common.
Earthquakes and volcanoes are most common near the faults at plate boundaries.
They are both caused by the plates under the earth being unstable, therefore moving causing vibrations and the outcome is either volcanoes or earthquakes.

I think in Vancouver earthquakes are common in Canada.
Yes, it is quite common for earthquakes to occur under the sea. But they can also occur under the land. Any location on the Earth's surface (or close to the Earth's surface, to be more accurate) can have an earthquake, although of course, some locations are more prone to earthquakes than others.
one main location of an earthquake isSanAndrea'sfault.
no
True
The locations that are closest to the fault lines.
It's common on Route 3. It can be found in other locations, but the easiest will be Route 3.
Yes, earthquakes are common in South and Central Asia due to the region being part of the seismically active Himalayan seismic belt. The Indian Plate is colliding with the Eurasian Plate, leading to frequent tectonic activity and earthquakes in the area.
California, Alaska and Japan are all locations that have frequent earthquakes.
