Where are shallow earthquakes found?
divergent plate boundaries
About 90 percent of continental earthquakes have a shallow?
focus
What situation is associated with shear?
Frequent shallow earthquakes
What type of earthquake occurs in mid ocean ridges?
Shallow focus earthquakes occur at the mid ocean ridges because the thin lithosphere found there is to weak to allow a large amount of strain to build up and cause larger earthquakes.
What regions do earthquakes mostly occur?
earthquakes usually occur at tectonic plate boundaries
What boundary do shallow earthquakes occur?
divergent
Where do shallow-focus earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
What is the difference between shallow focus earthquakes and deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow focus earthquakes occur at depths of 70 km with magnitudes ranging from 1-5. Deep focus earthquakes occur at depths from 300-700 km and magnitudes from 6-10.
Where do shallow-focus earthquakes of the occur relative to ocean trenches?
within or adjacent to trenches
What type of plate boundary are most earthquakes found at?
All three type of Earthquakes (Shallow-seated, Medium-seated and Deep-seated) occur only at the Convergent plate boundary. At divergent plate boundary we find mostly Shallow-seated Earthquakes only.
What causes more damage shallow or deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow focus earthquakes generally cause more damage.
Are shallow earthquakes more destructive than deeper earthquakes of the same intensity?
Earthquakes that happen in shallow water cause tsunami and other side affects like landslides.
What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Where are shallow earthquakes found?
divergent plate boundaries
About 90 percent of continental earthquakes have a shallow?
focus
What situation is associated with shear?
Frequent shallow earthquakes
