Who was the ancient god who imprisoned giants beneath the earth for causing earthquakes?
Zeus was the one who imprisoned the Titans in the pit of the Pacific Ocean somewhere.

Why did Zeus owe Thetis a favor?
When Zeus was imprisoned by other gods and goddesses (Hera, Poseidon, and Athena), Thetis was the one that ordered Briareus (a hundred-handed monster, son of Poseidon) to the top of Mt. Olympus so that he may have terrified the other gods, causing them to release the chains restraining Zeus.
What is the purpose of greek gods?
The Greek gods gave the ancient Greeks a way to explain things they didn't understand. For example, the ancient Greeks used the myth of Persephone and Hades to explain the seasons. When Persephone was with Hades in the Underworld, she was miserable. So her mother, Demeter (goddess of agriculture) , kept everything from growing, causing winter. When Persephone was with her mother, she was happy, and Demeter brought summer to the world.
What happened in imprison of daedalus and icarus?
Daedalus and Icarus were imprisoned by King Minos in the labyrinth of Crete after Daedalus helped Theseus escape. To escape their confinement, Daedalus crafted wings made of feathers and wax for himself and Icarus. He warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun or too low to the sea. Ignoring his father's advice, Icarus flew too high, causing the wax to melt, and he fell into the ocean and drowned.
How did the ancient Greeks explain weater seasons and natural disasters?
The gods, in support or opposition of people. However more rational explanations began to appear, beginning with Hesiod in the late 8th Century BCE who gave a farmer's account of natural events and their effects in Works and Days. However intervention of the gods in human affairs continued on, with doubters given short shrift. Even today, billions still attribute events to divine intervention, and pray to them for relief and guidance.
Why did the Aztecs disapear?
The Aztecs didn't exactly disappear from the face of the earth; the Aztec civilization disappeared. Many did die from diseases brought by the Europeans but their culture and civilization was disrupted by the early European explorers, causing the people became scattered. Decedents of the Ancient people still live in Mexico and Central America today.
Do catfish start earthquakes?
no plate tectonics do Yeah, them farting causes the ground beneath them to begin shaking violently, causing complete eradication of an area.
Is there earthquakes season?
No, earthquakes can occur at any time of the year without following a specific seasonal pattern. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, which can happen at any time.
Can you have earthquakes under water?
Yes, earthquakes can occur underwater, causing what is known as a tsunami. These underwater earthquakes are typically caused by the shifting of tectonic plates beneath the ocean floor. The resulting seismic waves can generate powerful underwater disturbances that propagate to the surface.
How are tectonic plates involved in causing earthquakes and volcanoes?
the tectonic plates shake under the earth causing earthquakes
Are any earthquakes on Venus's?
there is no core on Venus causing there to be no earthquakes on Venus
The deflection of one lithospheric plate beneath another plate with which it is colliding is called what?
Subduction. This process occurs at convergent plate boundaries where one lithospheric plate is forced beneath another due to differences in density, causing earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Would the most violent earthquakes be associated with spreading centers or with subduction zone?
The most violent earthquakes are typically associated with subduction zones. Subduction zones occur when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, causing intense pressure and friction that can lead to powerful seismic activity. In contrast, spreading centers involve the pulling apart of tectonic plates, which can result in earthquakes but they are generally less intense compared to those at subduction zones.
What is Earth's crust cracked into?
Earth's crust is cracked into several tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid mantle beneath. These plates interact with each other, causing phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What god is known for causing earthquakes?
Poseidon
What are the giant pieces of earth outer layer where most earthquakes occur called?
The giant pieces of Earth's outer layer where most earthquakes occur are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and interact at their boundaries, causing seismic activity.
Which plate boundaries experience the deepest earthquakes and why?
Convergent plate boundaries where subduction occurs experience the deepest earthquakes. This is because in a subduction zone one (oceanic) lithospheric plate is being forced beneath another down into the mantle. Stresses build up within the descending pate at great depth causing earthquakes with focusses at much greater depths than earthquakes at other plate boundaries.
Are there earthquakes along trenches?
Yes, earthquakes commonly occur along trenches due to the shifting of tectonic plates. Subduction zones at trenches are particularly prone to strong earthquakes as one tectonic plate moves beneath another, causing intense pressure and releasing energy in the form of seismic activity.
