What else can I help you with?
How high does it have to be on the Richter scale to cause a volcano eruption?
Earthquakes do not cause volcanoes. However, magma moving to the surface rapidly can produce tremors. Volcanoes can cause earthquakes, but not vise-versa.
How do earthquakes change earth's surface?
Earthquakes change earth by moving earths plates
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.
Do tsunamis cause earthquakes?
Earthquakes are one (but not the only) cause of tsunamis.
Can hurricanes cause an earthquake?
No, earthquakes are triggered when a tectonic plate shifts. An earthquake takes place in the ground. Hurricanes, on the other hand, take place in the sky. It will take an enormous hurricane to move an area by one centimeter. But, they can never cause earthquakes.
Most surface waves are caused by the action of 'earthquakes' or 'winds'?
Surface waves are primarily caused by earthquakes rather than winds. Earthquakes generate seismic waves that propagate along Earth's surface, leading to ground shaking. Winds, on the other hand, primarily generate ocean surface waves rather than seismic surface waves.
Can volcanoes cause earthquakes?
Yes, volcano eruptions can cause earthquakes; they can also be caused by earthquakes or occur at the same time.Yes. Earthquakes are common around active volcanoes. They are usually triggered by the movement of magma beneath the earth and the fracturing of rock that results. However, volcanic earthquakes are not very large and generally do not cause much damage directly.
Are earthquakes below the surface called tsunamis?
Mo, they are known as earthquakes but the earthquakes cause the tsunamis.
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.
Does Emily cause earthquakes?
No, Emily does not cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are natural phenomena caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. Emily, as an individual, does not have the ability to cause earthquakes.
What are the effects of diastrophism?
Diastrophism can lead to the formation of geological structures such as mountains, valleys, and faults. It can also cause earthquakes and volcanic activity as the Earth's crust is deformed and displaced. Over long periods of time, diastrophism plays a key role in shaping the Earth's surface features.
Do the movement in of rocks in the Earth cause the ground to shake?
Yes, the movement of rocks within the Earth, such as tectonic plate movements or volcanic activity, can cause the ground to shake. These movements generate seismic waves that travel through the Earth and are felt as earthquakes at the surface.
Do hippos cause earthquakes?
No, hippos do not cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, not by any actions of hippos or other animals.
Why earthquakes cause more damage than others?
The biggest earthquakes do not always cause the most damage if they strike unpopulated areas, or areas where the local infrastructure was built to withstand severe earthquakes. Also some big earthquakes may be high in intensity, but very short in duration, causing less damage.
What are most earthquakes cause by?
moving tectonic plates on earths surface
Can planetary alignments cause earthquakes?
There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that planetary alignments can cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface.
When the ground shakes it is called?
It is called a tremor. Stronger tremors cause earthquakes.
