Regional it can be argued that indeed there are earthquake seasons. Earthquakes are more often than not related to tectonic activity (subduction, rifting, shearing along transform faults, etc.); however, not all earthquakes are related to such activity. Crustal loading through increased sedimentation can increase the overriding pressure, and once this is removed through weathering processes, this can release pressure causing earthquakes (for example those within stable continental shields). There is certainly an earthquake season in the Himalayan front and has been investigated by geologists at Caltech.
"In the Himalaya, monsoon rains swell the rivers of the Ganges basin, increasing the pressure bearing down on the region. As the rains stop, the river water soaks through the ground and the built-up load eases outward, toward the front of the range. This outward redistribution of stress after the rains end leads to horizontal compression in the mountain range later in the year, triggering the wintertime earthquakes."
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
earthquakes only happen at the edge of tectonic plates because of them moving which causes the 'quake' so there are never any BIG earthquakes in the UK because it is in the middle of a tectonic plate
Please more specific, as earthquakes occur worldwide.
No they can occur at anytime.
they usually occur in summer
Earthquakes ussually occur near the tectonic plates which cover the earths surface.
They usually occur in places where two plates meet- faults.
Earthquakes are usually happen along the edges of the tectonic plates and are caused by the plates hitting together.
Earthquakes are not given names. They are usually referred to by the area in which they occur
Tornadoes mostly occur in spring and early summer.
Yes, earthquakes happen suddenly and unexpectedly. They can occur in a matter of seconds or minutes, making them very difficult to predict accurately.
The west Pacific Ocean earthquakes usually occur along the joins in the continental plates which lie offshore in most cases.
Droughts in America usually occur in the summer and hot seasons
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
Because it is a fault and earthquakes usually occur near faults.
tsunamis usually occurs after an earthquake specially under sea earthquakes.
