What else can I help you with?
Why do shallow earthquakes occur at divergent boundaries?
because the magma gets so hot in these areas that it spew up using the vents. It is shallow because that is where the magma is the hottest- aka only magma that can make it through the hydrothermal vents penis
Algae can survive on the seafloor only in?
Algae can survive on the seafloor only in shallow waters where there is enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur. Deep sea areas lack sufficient light for algae to survive.
What type of plate boundary are most earthquakes found at?
All three type of Earthquakes (Shallow-seated, Medium-seated and Deep-seated) occur only at the Convergent plate boundary. At divergent plate boundary we find mostly Shallow-seated Earthquakes only.
Algae can survive on the seafloor only in what?
Algae can survive on the seafloor only in shallow waters where there is enough light for photosynthesis to occur. Deeper in the ocean, there is insufficient light for algae to thrive.
Does everyone feel an earthquake?
Not everyone, no. Earthquakes happen in certain areas and only those areas will feel it. Of course it depends on how strong the earthquake is.
Which countries don't have earthquakes?
only countries lining the borders of the crust's plates will experience earthquakes. And since these plates are so big, they cover many countries and the ones in the middle experience earthquakes the least.
Do natural disasters strike in a certain area?
It depends on the natural disaster. Volcanoes and earthquakes only happen on areas near a fault line. Tornadoes are only found inland. Tsunamis, floods, and hurricanes are found in coastal areas.
Do volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur ONLY at the boundaries?
No. Volcanoes can be found at hot spots away from plate boundaries. These volcanoes can produce earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur at areas of ancient geologic activty such as failed rifts and can occur as a result fo glacier retreating.
If earthquakes are a result of shifting plates why is it that only some parts of the continent are affected?
Any part of a continent could be affected, although plate margins are affected more than other areas. Ground shifting effects diminish from the epicenter, much like sound waves diminish over distance.
Where Only 5 percent of all earthquakes occur within?
Only about 5 percent of all earthquakes occur within intraplate regions, which are areas not located at tectonic plate boundaries. Most earthquakes are concentrated along these boundaries, where tectonic plates interact, leading to significant seismic activity. Intraplate earthquakes can still be powerful, but they are less frequent compared to those occurring at plate margins.
Do tsunamis cause earthquakes?
Earthquakes are one (but not the only) cause of tsunamis.
Do all earthquakes have after shock?
No only middle and big magnitude earthquakes do.
