Why do some geophysicists say drought Can cause earthquakes?
because the ground is dry and cracking and the water that usually fills the earths mantle which supports it is lessened
What are some words to do with earths layers?
Outer Core, Inner Core, Mantle, Crust
Why don't earthquakes and volcanoes happen in some places?
Volcanoes and earthquakes happen when there are tectonic plates below them. The tectonic plates gradually move and might slip after a while. That is when you get an earthquake. A volcano happens when the tectonic plates rub and they get pushed up or down. Malten rock then finds its way through gaps and creates a volcano.
In layer of earth do earthquakes occur?
asthenosphere.
How do earthquakes change earth's surface?
Earthquakes change earth by moving earths plates
Why do some earthquakes occur inside plate boundaries in the interior of a lithospheric plate?
some earthquakes happen inside the plate because they are dumb
What are some bad things that happen in Asia?
Floods, earthquakes, and war.
What processes within Earth cause geologic activity?
Plate interactions and Earthquakes. Also Convection Currents!! How earthquakes occur is when volcanoes erupt a earthquake happens some where in the world. when a Convection Currents happen inside the in the mantle!! Plate interactions create a folded mountain!!

Why is an earthquake less likely to happen at the center of the earths crust?
Because earthquakes are the result of two plates rubbing together. For example, if two plates are being forced into each other they may create what is called a subduction zone. One plate will be forced underneath the other. This quite obviously will cause some friction and maybe even some lifting of one of the plates. once the force becomes large enough to overcome that friction the plates will slip. An earthquake is what we feel on the surface when that happens. As to why they are not likely to happen in the center of the earths crust, The shock waves from this type of event will dissipate in the earth long before they get there.
Do you need a fault line to have an earthquake?
Not necessarily, some of the most destructive earthquakes happen away from fautlines as people do not have the necessary precautions. Though almost all earthquakes happen at or near a faultline.
