The earth has a series of tech tonic plates which shift every one-in-a-while. Thus a series of vibrations induced in the earth's crust by the abrupt rupture and rebound of rocks in which elastic strain has been slowly accumulating.
When Tectonic plates rub against each other, pressure builds up. when the pressure becomes too great, the plates suddenly jolt, which is ll an earthquake is.
Earthquakes
When the earth's plates collide.
The lightning strike caused a power outage in the neighborhood.
not necessarily, they strike on the fault lines of tectonic plates, when the plates bump into each other, they create volcanoes or earthquakes
They strike the most where tectonic plates are found and when the hit each other
No. Earthquakes differ in cause (strike-slip, megathrust, volcanic, etc.) and in intensity.
Earthquakes are worse. Earthquakes strike with no warning and cover a larger area than tornadoes and can have much higher death tolls, especially those that trigger tsunamis.
The construct buildings knowing that earthquakes can strike.Many buildings are made to wobble when earthquakes strike. This gives a better chance for the building to absorb the earthquake and remain standing.
Typically after deep sea earthquakes or during particularly violent hurricanes.
No.They strike near the boundries of tectonic plates.There for it could be whenever.
they can shake in reverse fault, normal fault, strike-slip fault.
It is when two plates in the earth because of the release of stress or tension in the earth's lithosphere.
