Why are there areas of Australia that have no agriculture activity?
Much of Australia is desert with little available water.
Where do earthquakes occur in Australia?
Earthquakes in Australia do not occur on the same scale as they do in other parts of the world, as Australia is not positioned on the Pacific "Rim of Fire". However, they do occur throughout Australia, usually deep underground, and little damage results.Many earthquakes in Australia are the result of seismic activity many kilometres underground, and they do not translate to ground-shaking events on the surface. Parts of Western Australia, Melbourne and southeastern Victoria, and the region around Canberra, for example, are hot-spots for deep seismic activity, but no earthquake in the area has caused death or significant destruction.Australia's worst earthquake to date occurred in 1989 in Newcastle, north of Sydney in New South Wales. At first, US seismologists was thought that this was the result of mining activity in the area, but this theory was discounted after further Australian research.
What is the difference between a passive continental margin an an active continental margin?
Passive continental margins are not areas of convergence. There is little volcanic and earthquake activity on passive margins. Active margins are areas of convergence where one plate is descending beneath another. They are associated with volcanic and earthquake activity.
Has there been an earthquake in France?
Yes, France does experience earthquakes, but they are typically of low to moderate magnitude due to its location on relatively stable continental crust. The most seismically active regions in France are the Pyrenees and the Alps.
Has Kansas had an earthquake?
There was a very little earthquake in kansas. (Minor)
How much does a Project manager in Australia earn?
A little more than a $100k/year (that, of course, if you have some experience).
Can a little earthquake be predictable?
no
When was Earthquake - Little Boots song - created?
Earthquake - Little Boots song - was created on 2009-11-13.
What is a sentence using earthquake?
The earthquake caused very little damage.
What do you call the little earthquakes that come before a big earthquake?
Foreshock is what you call one of the little earthquakes that come before the big earthquake or main shock. The main shock may be followed by a little earthquake that's called the aftershock.
How much warning is there before an earthquake?
There is typically very little to no warning before an earthquake occurs. While scientists can monitor seismic activity and identify areas with higher risk, they cannot predict exactly when an earthquake will happen. It is important to be prepared at all times for potential earthquakes.
Why are there very few volcanoes and earthquakes in Australia?
Australia does experience earthquakes, but not as severely or as commonly as in say Japan, Iran or New Zealand. Meckering WA in 1968 and Newcastle NSW 1989 were two earthquakes which caused severe damage, and loss of life in the case of Newcastle, largely because Australian building codes generally do not take into account earthquakes because their frequency is so low. There were two minor earthquakes off Broome WA and in Gippsland Vic in March 2009. Essentially, Australia is situated far from tectonic plate margins which are the "hotspots" for severe earthquakes. Stresses can develop away from plate margins, which is why the continent can experience relatively minor earthquakes. Because Australia is centrally located on one of the shields of the earths crust. These are old solid parts of the earth's crust where there is no volcanic activity or movement so there is little in the way of seismic activity.
