Why does Pakistan have earthquakes?
because the tectonic plate under the Indian plate hits the plate under Eurasia as it continues to move northward and to push the Himalayas ever higher. The region surrounding Quetta in Pakistan is highly prone to earthquakes. I think the same goes for India
What is caused by an earthquake under the ocean and can do damage great distances from the focus?
If and earthquake occurs under the ocean. If one plate moves upwards vertically than the other plate. Then it will causes a killer wave on sea called a TSUNAMI which can cause severe effect even at a great distance from the sea.
Are there earthquakes in Cuzco?
A severe earthquake in 1950 destroyed much of the city but most of the historic buildings have been restored.
What characteristics of earthquakes caused the most severe damage?
The most severe damage from earthquakes is typically caused by a combination of factors, including their magnitude, depth, and proximity to populated areas. Higher magnitude earthquakes release more energy, leading to greater ground shaking and destruction. Shallow earthquakes tend to cause more damage than deeper ones because they are closer to the surface. Additionally, the geological conditions of the affected area, such as soil type and building structures, can exacerbate the impact of the shaking.
What are some letters that have the letter V in the middle?
several lava several severe server seventeen seventh
Why do earthquakes take place near tectonic boundaries?
The plate boundaries are where two plates will either push together, rub past each other or spread apart from each other. What causes stronger earthquakes is the pusing and rubbing of these two plates. It's strength depends on the severity of the movement of the plates but generally the closer you are situated to the plates the more severe it will seem.
What country can experience severe earthquakes because it is near tectonic plate boundaries?
Japan
IS there anyway to determine what parts of the world are most prone to earthquakes?
Yes, areas along tectonic plate boundaries are most prone to earthquakes as they experience the most geological activity. Regions such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, where several tectonic plates meet, tend to have more frequent and severe earthquakes. Additionally, areas with historical seismic activity records can also be identified as prone to earthquakes.
Which plate boundary is marked by deep-sea trenches volcanic mountain chains and severe earthquakes?
Convergent plate boundaries are characterized by deep-sea trenches, volcanic mountain chains, and severe earthquakes. This is where two tectonic plates come together, causing one plate to be subducted beneath the other, leading to the formation of trenches and volcanic activity, as well as intense seismic activity.
Where two tectonic plates meet?
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).
Does earthquakes have to do with Atmosphere?
no it doesn't, it has to do with plate tectonics, when plates move the earth shakes and creates cracks on the ground, or very severe damage.
Which countries don't have earthquakes?
only countries lining the borders of the crust's plates will experience earthquakes. And since these plates are so big, they cover many countries and the ones in the middle experience earthquakes the least.
What do shifting tectonic cause?
shifting tectonic plates cause continents to move a few inches every year. also, if the plates start rubbing against each other, they can cause severe earthquakes. plates hitting and pushing toward each other can form mountains or volcanoes.
What is a conservation margins?
A conservative margin is when two plates try to slide past each other. When the two plates stick together, it builds up lots of pressure and when it is released, it creates severe earthquakes. (This is the case with the North American and Pacific Plates.)
Explain why California has more earthquakes and more severe earthquakes than New Jersey?
California is situated on a tectonic plate boundary, whereas New Jersey is not. It also has a fault located near by and when there is stress put on that fault it causes seismic activity.
Which is more severe earthquakes tsunamis hurricanes or a tornado?
Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and tornadoes are all severe. It just depends on how strong they are and where they occur.
Does a plate Boundary cause a tornado?
No, plate boundaries do not directly cause tornadoes. Tornadoes are typically formed in severe thunderstorms when warm, moist air interacts with cool, dry air and winds create a rotating column of air. Plate boundaries are more associated with tectonic activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
