Why folding and faulting is one of the main causes behind earthquakes?
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.
Definition of curved line?
A kind of line which is not required to be straight. Curved lines are often called irregular lines.
Movement along faults often produces sharply angled rock fragments termed?
fault breccia
Why do earthquakes occur more often in some places that in others?
They occur because of nature. Volcanic eruptions signal off an earthquake because normally a volcanic eruption and an earthquake are on a fault line/edge of a tectonic plate.
How often should gear oil be changed?
Gear oil should be changed every 4,000 to 5,000 miles. Motor oil should be changed every 3,000 miles to keep the engine running clean.
How often and why do earthquakes occur in Califoria?
California has a lot of fault lines, that's why.

Why is large earthquakes often followed by numerous aftershock?
why ARE large earthquakes.... ANSWER- Aftershocks happen after a big earthquake because the movement on the fault changed the forces in the earth that act on the fault itself and nearby. Aftershocks go on until the fault recovers, which takes much longer in the middle of a continent.
How might Russia's far-north location affect its people and economy?
It affects the economy because of the cold it is very hard to grow crops, and raise livestock, and it affects its people by haveing less food, and its hard to keep a job because of the coldwar, the sickness, and the snow. Hope this helped you.
Why do earthquakes occur more often in some places than in others?
Because fat people live near fault lines and them waddling around causes the plates to shift
What are the lines that Meteorologists draw called?
Those most often seen on weather charts are isobars. These connect areas of equal atmospheric pressure.
Is a reverse fault often located along a divergent plate boundary or convergent?
A reverse fault is often found at convergent plate boundaries.
What is a good sentence with the word fault in it?
He would oft apologize for things that were no fault of his own. The fault line often produced violent earthquakes.
Are earths active volcanoes scattered randomly?
Volcanoes are formed by tetonic plates pushing together. Therefore they often form in lines. Such as the Himalyers and the alpes.
Why do earthquakes happen in places that are along the fault lines?
Fault lines are the boundaries of tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust. Earthquakes often occur at these boundaries because the movement of these plates causes seismic activity as the plates interact with each other. Plates may push together, pull apart, or slide against each other, or one plate may be pushed under another. Volcanic activity often takes place at the boundaries of these plates, which can cause earthquakes as well.
Can you predict the part of the US mostly to experience strong earthquakes?
Yes. Earthquakes occur most often along fault lines. There are also many different devices (seismograph) that sense seismic waves and can predict earthquakes.
Why do hilly areas often get poor TV and radio reception?
Because waves travel in straight lines, therefore if you try and bend it for going up a hill, it usually doesn't work.
