What else can I help you with?
Do earthquakes occur more on mountains?
I belive so, because the plates are building up quite alot of energy
Where in the United States beside California do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes also commonly occur in states such as Alaska, Nevada, Hawaii, and Washington in the United States. These states are located near tectonic plate boundaries where seismic activity is more frequent.
Why earthquakes are more likely to occur in countries with the alpine system land form?
tectonic plates come together under the alpine system mountains.
Do most earthquakes occur around earthquake valley?
Please more specific, as earthquakes occur worldwide.
Do earthquakes occur more frequently in the interior plates?
No. The vast majority of earthquakes occur at or near plate boundaries.
Which plate earthquakes occur at?
Earthquakes can occur anywhere on Earth but large ones are more common at destructive plate bookbinderies.
What season do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes are not a seasonal phenomenon and so the time of year has no effect on the occurrence of earthquakes. As such, earthquakes can happen at any time of the year as they occur independent of weather and climate.
Do earthquakes occur under the sea?
Yes, it is quite common for earthquakes to occur under the sea. But they can also occur under the land. Any location on the Earth's surface (or close to the Earth's surface, to be more accurate) can have an earthquake, although of course, some locations are more prone to earthquakes than others.
How earthquakes volcanoes and mountain's formation are related to plate tectonics?
Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.
Why do earthquakes do more damage when they occur in urban territories?
There are more structures etc. and people.
Are there more earthquakes under the sea than on land?
Yes, there are more earthquakes under the sea than on land because the majority of Earth's tectonic plate boundaries are located beneath the ocean. These plate boundaries are where most earthquakes occur due to the movement of the plates.
Do most earthquakes occur under the ocean floor or on land?
Most earthquakes occur on the ocean floor, particularly along tectonic plate boundaries such as the Pacific Ring of Fire. However, earthquakes can also occur on land where tectonic plates meet, such as along faults like the San Andreas Fault in California.
