What is most of earths major earthquakes caused by?
Earths Major Earthquakes are caused by faulting of rock in earth's crust.Hope this helps
How are earthquakes eruptions different from volcanoes?
Earthquakes do not exactly erupt. Earthquakes are caused by the movement the Earth's tectonic plates. Yes, Earthquakes can contribute to the eruptions of Volcanoes because when one plate goes under the other water could be taken with it down into the Mantle. The water and sometimes air when is in the mantle is forced to find an exit and those exits are Volcanoes. When they go into the Volcano pressure builds up and the Volcano erupts. So really Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the Earths tectonic plates while Volcanoes are caused by a build up of pressure in the Earths Mantle.
Where are the biggest earthquakes in the world expected?
The biggest earthquakes in the world are expected along the plates that are on the inside of our earths crust like the mid Atlantic plate or the plate that caused the earthquake in Haiti
Why is there no sedimentary rock deep in the earths crust?
Sedimentary rocks get transformed into metamorphic and eventually igneous rocks in deep earth's crust.
How do earthquakes change earth's surface?
Earthquakes change earth by moving earths plates
What is most of earths major earthquakes caused by?

How do Haiti earthquakes happen?
they just happen earthquakes are caused from the plates under earths surface moving
Which natural process is caused by rocks moving under earths surface?
earthquakes
What causes volcanoes and earthquacks?
Volcanoes are caused by the rising of magma in the earths mantle and earthquakes are caused by the colliding of the earths tectonic plates against one another.
What is one thing that can cause a tsunami?
Most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes below the sea level. These undersea earthquakes are a result of shifting in the earths tectonic plates.
Why are tsunamis and earthquakes not considered weather?
because the definitiong of weather is activity in our atmosphere. Tsunamis and earthquakes are caused by earths tectonic plates shifting and moving not atmospheric activity.
What are strong earth quakes caused by?
Earthquakes are caused by vaults. (Cracks in the earth.) The 2 broken pieces have a reverse tug-of-war. They push against each other and either make a mountain or a depression. If these 2 pieces push against each other really hard, eventually, the energy releases and causes an earthquake with high magnitude.

What are earthquakes tsunamis and volcano caused by?
They are all caused by the Earths The Earths Tectonic PLates. e.g When there is a crack or fracture in a tectonic plate the pressure slowley builds up until it if released. This can cause tsunamis if the plate is underwater or an earthquake if it is not.
I want an information on earthquakes?
earthquakes are movements on the earths surface
What are Cracks in the ground caused by earthquakes called?
cracks in the ground caused by earthquakesFaults. Cracks in the earths crust usually caused by earthquakes are called faults.No, their not! Faults are to do with tectonic plates, earthquake cracks are called earthquake cracks.
Why do few earthquake happen in earths mantle?
Few earthquakes happen in the earths mantle do to the fact that the mantle has a folded deformation. This means that the amount of pressure on the mantle caused it to deform.
