Earthquakes caused due to the movements of the tectonic plates. It can be take even under the sea level in oceanic ridges (which is known as something like a crack on the tectonic plate under the ocean).
The lithospheric plates are continuously moving on the asthenospheric layer due to the circulation of convection currents. When the plates are moving, in different different directions they make various kinds of collisions. These collisions also can be divided into several types according to the type of the plates. So when these moving plates collides with each other, earthquakes takes place.
So the answer to the questions is simply yes
What else can I help you with?
Do all earthquakes cause tsunamis?
No sometimes not a month ago the usa got a small earthquake on the east coast and caused no tusanmi
What caused the 1950 assam earthquake?
The earthquake in Tibet was caused because to plates in the earth came together. This is whats causes all earthquakes.
Is making out and snoging the same thing?
Yes, Snogging, French Kissing, Making out and kissing are all generally the same thing.
All faults will cause earthquakes?
It all depends on how big the fault is, bigger ones will cause bigger earthquakes, while smaller, or small ones may cause no earthquake at all.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Are all earthquakes caused by fault lines?
No, some earthquakes are caused by elephants. *Laughs* Being serious, Earthquakes are caused by built up energy under the earth. The energy is usually released along the fault lines, but can sometimes be felt away from those fault lines.
Are earthquakes caused by wind?
No, earthquakes cannot be caused by the wind at all. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate boundaries, where the moving plates generate pressure. The pressure is released as an earthquake. Occasionally earthquakes may be caused by volcanoes, but this is simply another effect of moving tectonic plates. So the wind has no influence whatsoever on earthquakes or seismic activity.
How many earthquakes have been caused by tectonic plates?
All of them.
What do volcanoes mountainsand earthquakes all have in common?
They're all caused by tectonic movement
Are all the earthquakes in the world measured the same way?
All earthquakes are measured on either the Richter scale or the Mercalli scale.
Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
Are all earthquakes the same?
No. Earthquakes differ in cause (strike-slip, megathrust, volcanic, etc.) and in intensity.
What are tornadoes hurricanes tsunamis earthquakes?
Tornadoes are violent rotating columns of air that form during severe thunderstorms. Hurricanes are large storms that form over warm ocean waters and have strong winds and heavy rain. Tsunamis are powerful ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Earthquakes are sudden, rapid shaking of the ground caused by the shifting of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface.
How are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions the same?
they are the same because they all cause damage to the earth
Is there such thing as an earthquake in Africa?
Yes ! Earthquakes occur all over Africa ! Load Google Earth - and you'll see where earthquakes have occurred.
Why are prisms and pyramids different?

What are types of natural disasters that happen on earth?
Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Tsunamis, Drought, Earthquakes, and Whirlwinds are all natural disasters the happen on Earth. (Whirlwinds and Tornadoes are basically the same thing)
