Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Where do tectonic plates interact?
Interactions between tectonic plates occur at plate boundaries.
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
An earthquake is a shaking caused by the sudden movement of the earth's crust.?
Earthquakes occur both along plate edges and along faults. Most earthquakes will occur near the edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
What are fault boundaries?
Fault boundaries are the places where two tectonic plates (sections of the earth's crust) meet. Because of the movement of the plates against one another, fault boundaries are the locations where most earthquakes occur.
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Where does movement occur in earthquakes?
Tectonic plates.
How does the movement of tectonic plated occur?
The layer of the Earth called the mantle is continuously circulating like rice would in boiling water. This movement under the crust cause the plates to shift moving the plates to create mountains, valleys, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
How does earthquake occur?
Earthquakes are caused when pressure builds up as two tectonic plates move together. As the pressure is released, an earthquake is produced.
Where do tectonic plates interact?
Interactions between tectonic plates occur at plate boundaries.
What occurs at the edge of tectonic plates?
Scientists observed that volcanoes and earthquakes occur at the edge of tectonic plates.
What are tectonic plantes?
Tectonic plates are plates that float on the earths mantle. There are 8 major tectonic plates on the earth and at the joints of these many earthquakes seem to occur.
What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.
What events occur when the tectonic plates move and grind against each other?
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.
What events occur when tectonic plates move?
an earthquake
Where do the earthquakes tend to occurred?
Where the tectonic plates occur.
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of these?
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are always in motion, and when two of them collide with one another it causes earthquakes.
