What cause earthquakes tsunamis and landslides?
Shifting of Tectonic Plates.
What do earthquakes often occur along?
The edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
What makes Earthquakes happened?
Tectonic plates shifting around while bumping into another tectonic plate. When the plates slide pass each other, it creates a transform boundary which makes earthquakes.
Why are there earthquakes on earth?
Friction between shifting tectonic plates builds up, and the energy release causes an earthquake.
How are earthquakes landslides tsunami and plates all are related?
Tsunamis and plates are some what related in one way tsunamis are related by the change in the earths epicenter. a landslide is related in two ways by an focus and a fault line. plates are related an forming of mountains and the turning of the types of plates. Plates shifting causes earthquakes which can cause landslides or tsunamis.
What is conti nentaldrift?
Continental drift is the drift of continents. The earth consists of large plates floating on a ball of molten rock. Such a plate is called a tectonic plate, and since they float, they can float a way. This is called continental drift. Continental drift is one of the main causes of earthquakes. Earthquakes especially happen when two continental plates are shifting next to each other.
Why do you have earthquakes in California?
because shifting of plates colliding together
Are volcanoes and earthquakes manmade?
No. They are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates.
What cause earthquakes tsunamis and landslides?
Shifting of Tectonic Plates.
What r the causes of earthquake?
Shifting of tectonic plates cause earthquakes.
What triggers the earthquake?
Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
What do earthquakes often occur along?
The edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
Where and when do earthquakes occure?
Well earthquakes are unpredictable and cause because of shifting in plates places like California and Chili have lots of earthquakes because there on faltes.
What occur when two continental plates collide pushing the continental crust up to form mountains?
Earthquakes!
What four things happen when plates move?
earthquakes volcanoes landslides and tsunami
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 used for evidence for continental drift?
The continents seem to fit together when moved around. Mountains, earthquakes and other phenomena due to the shifting of tectonic plates also support the idea that the continents are drifting.
