It happens in the mantle and crust because the focus is the starting point and it is usually starts at the lithosphere(mantle) or near the mantle, but almost there.The focus rises up and the epicenter is the start of the earthquake.
earthquakes happen when these sections of earths crust move
no. earthquakes are set off by sudden movements in the earths crust
alright so when tectonic plates meet there are earthquakes because when the plates collide with each other because the earth is always moving it creates giant earthquakes that push and pull the tectonic plates on the crust of earth causing earth quakes. Volcanoes form at the boundaries of tectonic plates because it is one of the only places on the earths crust where there are holes in the crust so the liquid mantle (lava) can escape through the earths crust. forming volcanoes.
Earthquakes and volcanoes are usually found near plate boundaries.
Earthquakes are when the seismic plates on the earths crust move after pressure from on another is exceeded, seismic waves are produced after an earthquake, and can turn into a tsunami.
I think there are three types of earthquakes one is the earths crust
it means earthquakes will happen more often
The tectonic plates.
earthquakes happen when these sections of earths crust move
its just cause the earths crust didint crack there before
It breaks through the crust, and sometimes goes in the core, simply because all of the force and pressure from the plates rubbing together.
Because of all of the global warming and/or earthquakes are separating the plates Bangkok is on water is rising up from earths crust
earthquakes :)
earthquakes
earthquakes make the earths crust collide and sometimes they smash together,such as if one peice of crust goes under the other...makng a point...
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.
most times earthquakes occur
