Most seismic activities are associated with areas of active tectonism. So earthquakes occurs principally in such areas.

Where does seismic activity occur?
Around orogenic belts.
What makes waves small?
Very small seismic activity causes small waves to occur. The bigger the waves get the larger the seismic activity is.
Sudden stress changes in the Earth that cause ground shaking they occur at fault lines and near volcanic activity?
This is known as an earthquake or as seismic activity.
Why do most volcanoes occur around the Pacific Ocean?
Most volcanoes and earthquakes occur around the Pacific Ocean basin in a roughly horseshoe shaped ring called the Rim or Ring of Fire. This is where the seismic activity is most intense due to the movement of the tectonic plates.
Does North Dakota South Dakota or Minnesota have any seismic activity?
There is seismic activity everywhere on the planet, but that area does not have any significant seismic activity, like earthquakes.
What name is given to sudden stress changes in the earth that cause ground shaking and occur at fault lines and near volcanic activity?
This is known as an earthquake or as seismic activity.
Which process is most likely to occur in an after-activity review?

What are seismic plates?
seismic plates, or tectonic plates, are huge 'plates' of rocks that exist beneath the earth's surface that rest upon molten rock. It is on the borders of these plates that 'fault lines' occur and these are hotspots of volcanic and seismic activity such as earthquakes.
The edges of moving crustal plates are often defined by?
Frequent seismic activity
What is seismic shifting?
Seismic shifting is the shifting of the earth's crustal plates, causing seismic activity.
Why is it unlikely for Northern Ireland not to have a major earthquake?
It is just Ireland's location. As there are no major faults near Ireland, volcanic and seismic activity is low. There are no active volcanoes in Ireland but sometimes very small earthquakes do occur in Ireland, or off its coasts.It is just Ireland's location.

What are signs that an volcano is going to occur?
increased seismic activity in the area, swelling of the magma dome (in andesite volcanoes), increase in surface temperature.
