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.
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related to the theory of the plate tectonics?
They are both caused by movement of tectonic plates.
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.
Which event cannot be explained by the movement of the lithosphere plates tornadoes earthquakes volcanoes mountain formation?
Tornadoes.
Is there a relationship between the direction of the movement and distribution of earthquakes?
Volcanoes
How will you ralate the distribution of maountain ranges with the distribution of earthquakes epicenters and volcanoes?
Mountain ranges are often found at tectonic plate boundaries where tectonic forces cause uplift. These same plate boundaries are also locations where earthquakes and volcanic activity are common due to the movement and interaction of tectonic plates. Therefore, the distribution of mountain ranges is closely related to the distribution of earthquake epicenters and volcanoes.
What do Earthquakes and volcanoes show power of what kind of movement?
plate movement
What describes the relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are related because they can both be caused by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. Volcanic activity can generate earthquakes as magma rises through the Earth's crust, and conversely, earthquakes can trigger volcanic eruptions by creating pathways for magma to reach the surface.
Is there a relationship between the direction of movement and distribution of earthquakes?
Yes, there is a relationship between the direction of movement and distribution of earthquakes. Earthquakes are most commonly found along tectonic plate boundaries, where the plates are moving relative to each other. The type of boundary, such as convergent, divergent, or transform, can influence the direction and distribution of earthquakes in that region. For example, divergent boundaries, where plates are moving apart, typically have shallow earthquakes along the boundary, while convergent boundaries, where plates are colliding, can have deep earthquakes beneath the surface.
Anthracite coal relationship to earthquakes and volcanoes?
Coals are formed by burial and metamorphosis of peat deposits. In this process, many of the volatiles are driven off, and left is a 'pure' carbon. Earthquakes are caused mainly by the movement of tectonic plates. Volcanoes are caused by the eruption of magma from the mantle. So volcanoes are associated mainly with the movement of tectonic plates; but not vice versa. Anthracite has little to do with either.
Do earthquakes explode like volcanoes?
No, earthquakes and volcanoes are different geological events. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, while volcanoes erupt due to magma or gas buildup beneath the Earth's crust. While both can cause destruction, earthquakes do not explode like volcanoes.
Name 2 destructive side effects of plate movement?
Earthquakes and Volcanoes
How does the movement of the mantle affect human societies?
it affects it by the earthquakes and volcanoes it causes
What two types of natural disaster are associated with plate movement?
Earthquakes and volcanoes! Also earthquakes can in turn cause tsunami.
Why does an earthquake zone have earthquakes if no volcanoes are there?
Volcanoes are not the primary cause of earthquakes. Most earthquakes result from the stresses created by tectonic plates moving past or against one another. At transform boundaries there is no mechanism to produce volcanoes, but the movement of the plates will still cause earthquakes. Stresses within a plate can also cause earthquakes.
What you can infer about the relationship between earthquake and volcanoes?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are often related because they both result from the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. Earthquakes can be triggered by volcanic activity, and volcanic eruptions can also cause earthquakes. Additionally, the same tectonic forces that lead to earthquakes can create the conditions necessary for magma to rise to the surface and form volcanoes.
