Why are there fewer magnitude 2 and 3 earthquakes instead of magnitude 4 earthquakes?
There are far more magnitude 2 or 3 earthquakes than magnitude 4 earthquakes. The small quakes just don't get noticed as much because they typically do little or no serious damage.
What is the kind of movement produced by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions?
Earthquakes are the result of a sudden release of energy in the crust of the Earth that creates seismic waves. This seismicy factor in an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.
What type of earthquakes happen each day?
Magnitude 2 and smaller earthquakes occur several hundred times a day world wide.
How many earthquakes occur in Chile a year?
3
How many earthquakes are in the world?
3 million ayear
What type of boundary is responsible for earthquakes?
Divergent, transform, and convergent all have earthquakes
What type of earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes?
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
Which type of plate boundary is responsible for the most powerful earthquakes?
Transform Boundaries are the cause of earthquakes.
Which type of margin causes earthquakes?
Bercel
What type of motion creates earthquakes?
t
What type of boundary has earthquakes transverse?
convergent
What type of countries has earthquakes?
Everywhere on the planet suffers from earthquakes at some time. However there ares some places where earthquakes, particularly bad earthquakes, are more frequent. These places are located at continental margins.
What type of plate causes earthquakes?
Convergent Boundaries
What type of waves do earthquakes transmit?
Seismic Waves.
What type of wave can be generated by underwater earthquakes?
Tsunami
Which type of scientist studies natural hazards such as volcanoes and earthquakes?
A geologist studies natural hazards such as volcanoes and earthquakes.
