because that's where they are colliding. the plates are moving towards each other and they collide and then they keep pushing on each other and may even crumble and that is when the earth cracks and breaks and an earth quake happens. hope this helps! :) :) i love Dallin Dorius! i no that was random, but i do!
What else can I help you with?
Why do earthquakes occur along the San Andreas Fault?
Earthquakes occur along the San Andreas Fault because of the tectonic plates. When the plates slip or shift, an earthquake happens.
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 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
What is happening to the plates along the san Andreas fault?
they are making earthquakes
Why do earthquakes occur the San Andrea's fault?
Earthquakes occur along the San Andreas Fault because of the tectonic plates. When the plates slip or shift, an earthquake happens.
Why earthquakes in Italy?
As it is along a fault line (gap between tectonic plates)
Which landform results when one of earths plates slide past one another?
A transform fault or a strike-slip fault is formed when two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can lead to earthquakes due to the accumulated stress along the fault line.
Are earthquakes most likely at the fault along the boundary between two plates?
Yes!
Why do earthquakes happen near fault lines?
because the tectonic plates are moving beneth the earths crust, colliding with each other. if someone live along one of these fault lines between the plates they would experience a large earthquake.
What term describes areas where the earths plates move against each other and produce earthquakes?
fault lines
What is the name of ca famous break in the earths crust that causes earthquakes to occur?
The famous break in the Earth's crust that causes earthquakes to occur is called a fault line. Movement along fault lines can result in earthquakes due to the build-up and release of stress between tectonic plates.
Why do earthquakes happen near faults?
because the tectonic plates are moving beneth the earths crust, colliding with each other. if someone live along one of these fault lines between the plates they would experience a large earthquake.
