Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the continental shelves.The earth we stand on floats and moves Europe, America, Australia,T he pacific rim , Japan all all hotspots for earthquakes since they sit on the boundaries of different shelves. When adjacent land masses collide or pull apart a fault is formed, this fault can be seen as a split.
Just like a branch which bows, the force in the continental shelf stores energy, and just like a branch snapping, it releases that stored energy quickly. It is this which causes the vibrations in the ground which we call an earthquake.
What else can I help you with?
Earthquakes usually begin deep in the ground?
yes earthquakes do
What is ground movement?
brunnett beauty: What is ground movement? I believe ground movement is the plates moving in the earth just like how earthquakes form by plates in the ground colide to make movement in the earth.
What does plate tectonics have to do with volcanoes and earthquakes?
volcanoes: make the ground crumble and break and cause plates to move and smash earthquakes: makes the ground break and smash together and causes plates because they break when they hit each other.
Where are the local effects of an earthquakes?
Local effects of earthquakes include ground shaking and rupture, fires, and damage.
Can poseidon control earthquakes?
Poseidon is the god fo the sea. His trident, when pounded on the ground, creates a earthquake. Poseidon doesn't earthquake-that doesn't even make sense- but he is the god of earthquakes. Was that your question? I hope so. Tahnk you!
What causes the ground to split open in earthquakes?
Ground splits open in earthquakes due to the movement of tectonic plates. When built-up stress between plates is released, it causes the ground to rupture, forming cracks or fissures. The release of energy can result in shaking that further contributes to the splitting of the ground.
What are the simliarities between volcanoes and earthquakes?
they both make the ground rumble
What have earthquakes got to do with mountains?
when some earthquakes come they make the ground or surface of the earth uneven which sometimes form mountains
What are earthqaukes?
An earthquake = a shaking or other movement of part of the earth's surface. It is caused by movement deep within the earth. Earthquakes can cause the ground to split.

Do I need two ground wires -one for each socket- if I split an outlet?
No, you do not need two ground wires if you split an outlet. The ground wire can be shared between the two new outlets, as long as it is connected properly to both of them. Make sure the ground wire is securely connected to both outlets to ensure proper grounding for safety.
When does the ground shake?
when earthquakes happen.
Can earthquakes effect water?
An underwater earthquake, yes. When an earthquake occurs underwater it shifts the plates, therefore making the water move. If it is above ground then it could split the water too.Also it couold make water levels low therefore making it dangerous for some animals
Do earthquakes begin deep in the ground?
yes
Do earthquakes begin in the ground?
Yes, always.
