Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
earthquakes often occur near fold mountains because fold mountains are formed on the earth's fault lines ( invisble lines in the earth's crust) and earthquakes happen when two fault lines crash together.
The edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
Earthquakes occur on the west side of the United states of America. The state of California is often hit by earthquakes. This is because there is a fault line cause by the tectonic plates on the western coast of America.
yes
that's what ive heard
Shallow-focus earthquakes occur within the upper 70 kilometers of the Earth's crust. These earthquakes are typically more destructive than deep-focus earthquakes because they are closer to the Earth's surface. Shallow-focus earthquakes are often associated with tectonic plate boundaries and faults.
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
Yes, but not as often as earthquakes happen near plate boundaries
earthquakes often occur near fold mountains because fold mountains are formed on the earth's fault lines ( invisble lines in the earth's crust) and earthquakes happen when two fault lines crash together.
Earthquakes often occur along faults or breaks in Earth's crust where movements occur. These movements happen when stress builds up along the fault and is released suddenly, causing the rocks to break and generate seismic waves. Earthquakes can range in intensity depending on the magnitude of the movement along the fault.
Japan and Indonesia have it quite often.
Afghanistan experiences frequent earthquakes due to its location along major tectonic plate boundaries. The country is situated along the collision zone between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, making it seismically active. Moderate to large earthquakes occur in Afghanistan on a regular basis.
Earthquakes are not a seasonal phenomenon and so the time of year has no effect on the occurrence of earthquakes. As such, earthquakes can happen at any time of the year as they occur independent of weather and climate.
The edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
The weakest earthquakes, measuring less than 2.0 on the Richter scale, can occur anywhere around the world. These earthquakes are generally not felt by people and are often only detected by seismographs.
