What else can I help you with?
What natural disaster is caused by earthquakes but could also be caused by an asteroid?
earthquakes cause fires and tsunamis. earthquakes are caused either ice bergs falling down from somewhere e.g iceland or antarctica, or from the tetonic plates clashing together, or they go after volcanic eruptions
Can tsunamis be caused by earthquakes in the ocean floor?
Tsunamis are usually triggered by earthquakes that occur at subduction zones. A subduction zone is where one tectonic plate slide under another.Tsunamis are also caused by landslides along the coastline, which may be triggered by earthquakes, and on rare occasion by meteors crashing into the oceans if they're of significant size.
seismometers?
instrument that respond to ground motions such as caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and explosions
Are geologists more successful in predicting volcanic eruptions than earthquakes?
Yes-- they are more successful in predictiong volcanic eruptions than earthquakes
What causes earquake?
dunno what happends in your ear, but earthquakes is caused by rupture of geological faults, but also by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments.
Are earthquakes caused by volcanic activity or is volcanic activity caused by earthquakes?
In most cases, neither. Most earthquakes are the result of plate tectonics and most volcanoes form from plate tectonics as well, but one does not usually cause the other. However, volcanoes can and do cause earthquakes, espcially if they are getting ready to erupt. On rarer occasions, earthquakes have been suspected of triggering volcanic eruptions.
What are the three types of earhquakes?
The three types of earthquakes are tectonic earthquakes, volcanic earthquakes, and collapse earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are the most common and are caused by the movement of earth's plates. Volcanic earthquakes occur in association with volcanic activity, while collapse earthquakes happen in underground mines and caverns.
Are the Hawaiian islands made from earthquakes?
No, the creative process is by volcanic activity. Landforms can be altered by earthquakes as well as erosion.
The Islands of Hawaii are caused by?
They were created by volcanic activity.
What are 2 causes of earthquake?
earthquakes can be caused by either tectonic or volcanic. Tectonic earthquakes are caused by movement of tectonic plates underneath the earth surface. Volcanic earthquakes are caused by volcanic activities underneath or above earth's surface.
How are islands and ridge valleys similar?
They are both caused by earthquakes
What causes small earthquakes before a volcanic eruption?
The earthquakes are caused by the movement of magma underground and the breaking of rocks by that magma.
What are the two kinds of earthquake and be able to differentiate?
The two main types of earthquakes are tectonic and volcanic. Tectonic earthquakes occur along fault lines when tectonic plates move. Volcanic earthquakes occur near volcanoes due to the movement of magma beneath the surface. Tectonic earthquakes are more common and are caused by the Earth's tectonic plates shifting, while volcanic earthquakes are associated with volcanic activity.
Is there evidance that the volcanoes and earthquakes are common in coasts and islands along the edges of the pacific ocean?
Yes, there is evidence that volcanoes and earthquakes are common along the edges of the Pacific Ocean due to the presence of the Pacific Ring of Fire. This region is characterized by intense seismic and volcanic activity caused by the movement of tectonic plates, leading to the formation of volcanoes on coasts and islands. Additionally, subduction zones in this area contribute to the high frequency of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What caused the island to form?
The Galápagos Islands were formed by volcanic activity.
How did Hawaii get made?
volcanic eruptions caused the formation of the hawaiian islands
Which is the most common tectonic or volcanic earthquakes?
Tectonic earthquakes are more common than volcanic earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are caused by the shifting and breaking of rocks in the Earth's crust along tectonic plate boundaries, whereas volcanic earthquakes are associated with volcanic activity and occur as magma moves beneath the surface.
