Yes it can
Earthquakes are caused by friction between tectonic plates. The Earth's crust is made up of tectonic plates that basically float around on the magma in the Earths mantle. When these plates collide or move against each other, it causes great amounts of friction and tension in the crust. When enough tension builds up and is released at once, the result is an earthquake. Earthquakes happen near Coastlines because that is commonly where the tectonic plate collisions occur.
What else can I help you with?
An earthquake always occurs where there is a build up of friction along a fault.?
yes
What earthquake magnitude will cause sever damage?
Above 8-9 magnitude can cause severe earthquake....
How does a seismograph record a strong earthquake and a weak earthquake?
A seismograph measures the vibrations given off by an earthquake. Even the smallest earthquakes give off these vibrations.
How can an earthquake cause many damages?
cause rocks fall!
What are the waves that cause am earthquake?
Siesmic
What is the general cause of an earthquake?
The Earth's land masses (tectonic plates) moving against each other. Friction.
What causes a major earthquake to occur where plates meet?
The friction between the plates. When the friction is resolved, an earthquake occurs.
What was the cause of the yunnan earthquake?
what was the cause of Yunnan china earthquake
Violent shaking from an earthquake can cause soil and rock on slopes to move and cause a?
landslide. The shaking reduces the friction between the soil and rock layers, making them more susceptible to sliding downhill. This can result in dangerous and destructive movement of material that can impact lives and infrastructure.
What are caused because of earthquakes?
Earthquake happens when there is alote of friction held in the ground, if there is alote the friction will release quick, when it releases an earthquake happens. if you live on the Canadian shield you are safe from earthquakes
Did the japan earthquake cause a hole in the earth?
no...the earthquake did not cause a hole in the earth
What doesn't cause an earthquake?
Drinking a chocolate banana milkshake does not cause an earthquake.
Can a solar eclipse cause an earthquake?
No, a solar eclipse cannot cause an earthquake.
What happens when friction on opposite side of a fault is high?
High friction on opposite sides of a fault can cause stress to build up in the rocks. When the stress exceeds the strength of the rocks, it can result in an earthquake as the rocks suddenly shift along the fault line.
Did the 1906 earthquake cause a tsunami if yes where?
No, the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 did not cause a tsunami.
What type of earthquake did Haiti suffer?
It was a conservative earthquake caused by tectonic plates under ground, that rub together to make friction.
What causses an earthquake?
An Earthquake is caused when tectonic plates bump together and cause friction. This movement can send tremors up through the Earth and can spread out over very large distances. Or you could think of it as the tectonic plates are like puzzle pieces, they slot together as their surfaces are rough. If one came unstuck on one of the faults (which make up plate boundaries) i would cause and Earthquake.
