What else can I help you with?
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
What causes tsunami and earthquakes in Japan?
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.
What are long range predictions of earthquakes based?
based on? they are based on tectonic plate movement.
Which two natural disasters are commonly associated with the movement of tectonic plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes. Earthquakes may also cause tsunami.
What causes volcanoes to erupt under earths surface?
mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.
What is formed by tectanic activity?
Tectonic activity, such as that created by the movement of tectonic plates, can create mountains and deep sea rifts, as well as earthquakes.
What is tectonic activities?
Tectonic activities are processes related to the movement and deformation of the Earth's crust. This includes activities such as plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building. These activities are driven by the movement of tectonic plates and can result in the formation of various geologic features.
What are the three types of earhquakes?
The three types of earthquakes are tectonic earthquakes, volcanic earthquakes, and collapse earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are the most common and are caused by the movement of earth's plates. Volcanic earthquakes occur in association with volcanic activity, while collapse earthquakes happen in underground mines and caverns.
Do earthquakes make mountains?
No.Mountains are the result of continental drift an volcanic activity. Earthquakes are also the result of continental drift an volcanic activity. Thus the two go together but the earthquakes do not cause the mountains.
Why do Southeast Asia's large islands experience frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions?
Southeast Asia's large islands are located along the Ring of Fire, an area of high tectonic activity due to the movement of various tectonic plates. This movement can lead to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions as the plates interact with each other. The region's geological makeup, with multiple active fault lines and volcanic hotspots, also contributes to the frequency of these natural events.
How are the location of earthquakes mountain ranges and volcanic activity related?
"Young" mountain ranges as well as earthquakes, volcanoes and tectonic plates tend to be located on or near the boundaries of tectonic plates.
In which area of the world is the earthquakes most common?
Earthquakes are most common in areas along tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire which includes the west coasts of North and South America, Japan, and Southeast Asia. These regions have a higher frequency of seismic activity due to the movement of tectonic plates.
The large portions of the crust which move about on the mantle are the?
tectonic plates. These plates are responsible for the movement of continents and seismic activity, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What are the two kinds of earthquake and be able to differentiate?
The two main types of earthquakes are tectonic and volcanic. Tectonic earthquakes occur along fault lines when tectonic plates move. Volcanic earthquakes occur near volcanoes due to the movement of magma beneath the surface. Tectonic earthquakes are more common and are caused by the Earth's tectonic plates shifting, while volcanic earthquakes are associated with volcanic activity.
What is the result of tectonic activity?
Tectonic activity has a number of consequences, which include continental drift, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
What records movement of tectonic plates?
Earthquakes
Where does movement occur in earthquakes?
Tectonic plates.
