Becouse when the Continental and Ocean crust collide, an updrift occurs and an earthquake is formed. This may also result in Volcano activitey. See-Plate Tectonics

If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.

Energy is released and earthquakes happen.


What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movements occur?

Earthquakes often occur along faults or breaks in Earth's crust where movements occur. These movements happen when stress builds up along the fault and is released suddenly, causing the rocks to break and generate seismic waves. Earthquakes can range in intensity depending on the magnitude of the movement along the fault.


Where do earthquakes frequently happen?

At fault lines


What are earthquakes. How do they occur?

earthquakes happen when sections of the earths crust shift.These shifting parts called plates,are actually pieces of the crust floating on the hot molten interior of the earth. The majority of earthquakes happen along the edges of those plates,and along weak areas of the crust called fault zones


How do earthquakes navigate themselves?

Where are earthquakes most coommon?

Along fault line.


Where does earthquake occurs?

They happen along the fault lines that separate or crash into each other. The planet is made of Tectonic plates that are constantly moving, and that's why earthquakes happen


Where do the earthquakes happen?

, Earthquakes occurs along fault lines, fault lines are where tectonic plates meet. There is a build up of pressure when the plates converge ( move in and hit each other). When the pressure is to great it is released in an earthquake. Hope this helps.
