Can thunder cause earthquakes?
No. Earthquakes are the result of shifting in Earth's crust, usually at the boundaries of tectonic plates. They have nothing to do with thunder.
What triggers the earthquake?
Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
What is the ring of fire a result of?
The tectonic plates move in such a way that they create volcanoes and many earthquakes. Hope this helps
What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.
Where do the earthquakes tend to occurred?
Where the tectonic plates occur.
Are earthquakes geologic in nature?
Yes. Earthquakes generally result from the movement of tectonic plates.
Can thunder cause earthquakes?
No. Earthquakes are the result of shifting in Earth's crust, usually at the boundaries of tectonic plates. They have nothing to do with thunder.
How are tectonic plates involved in causing earthquakes and volcanoes?
the tectonic plates shake under the earth causing earthquakes
How do earthquakes cause tsunanis?
Tectonic plates move as earthquakes exists. The crust shakes. As a result, the water goes down to the tectonic plates and comes back as big waves not exceeding 10-15 meters.
Does Uranus have earthquake?
uranus is a gas giant. Gas giants lack the tectonic plates (rocky plates floating on top of a molten core) necessary to have earthquakes. Only rocky planets which have tectonic plates can have earthquakes.
What is the central idea of earthquakes?
The earth is made up of tectonic plates whose movements when they meet result in earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
What are the plates called that make earthquakes?
Tectonic plates
What triggers the earthquake?
Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of these?
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are always in motion, and when two of them collide with one another it causes earthquakes.
Where in the Earth do Earthquakes come from?
the tectonic plates
What records movement of tectonic plates?
Earthquakes
