Fault lines are the boundaries of tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust. Earthquakes often occur at these boundaries because the movement of these plates causes seismic activity as the plates interact with each other. Plates may push together, pull apart, or slide against each other, or one plate may be pushed under another. Volcanic activity often takes place at the boundaries of these plates, which can cause earthquakes as well.
What else can I help you with?
Do volcanoes and earthquakes happen in hot areas?
Not just in hot places. They can happen anywhere, but mostly along fault lines.
What happens along a fault beneath earths surface when earthquakes happen?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What occur along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
What happens when large sudden rock movements occur along a fault line?
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
Why do earthquakes occur more often in some places that in others?
They occur because of nature. Volcanic eruptions signal off an earthquake because normally a volcanic eruption and an earthquake are on a fault line/edge of a tectonic plate.
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?
Along fault lines
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.
