Where are shallow earthquakes found?
divergent plate boundaries
Where do shallow earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
About 90 percent of continental earthquakes have a shallow?
focus
What situation is associated with shear?
Frequent shallow earthquakes
What is the difference in spreading center earthquakes and subduction zone?
Spreading center earthquakes are always shallow, subduction zone earthquakes can be very deep.Spreading center earthquakes are typically of lower magnitude than subduction zone earthquakes.
Where are shallow earthquakes found?
divergent plate boundaries
Where do shallow earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
Where do shallow-focus earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
Most shallow focus earthquakes are found along?
Wherever divergent plate boundaries are
A zone of shallow earthquakes along normal faults is typical of?
Divergent plate boundaries.
4 At what type of plate boundary do you find most deep-focus earthquakes?
The most deep focused earthquakes would be found at transform boundaries. The shallow focused earthquakes would be found at Divergent boundaries. And the intermediate focused earthquakes would be found at Convergent boundaries. By: A ninth grader.
Where do shallow earthquakes take place?
They take place between the crust and mantle. They are shallow because the tectonic plates move, and when they move past each other it is like rubbing your hands against one another with something sticky on them, eventually one just snaps and that is what creates the shallow quakes.
Is the ring of fire located at the boundary of deep and shallow water?
No. The Ring of Fire comprises a series on boundaries between tectonic plates. The depth of water is irrelevant.
What causes more damage shallow or deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow focus earthquakes generally cause more damage.
Why do shallow earthquakes occur at divergent boundaries?
because the magma gets so hot in these areas that it spew up using the vents. It is shallow because that is where the magma is the hottest- aka only magma that can make it through the hydrothermal vents penis
What are the type of earthquake?
Tectonic earthquake volcanic earthquake and artificial earthquake
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.
