What happens with the earths surface to make an earthquake occur?
Many events could cause and earthquake but most common is when two or more tectonic plates rub against each other. Essentially the surface of the Earth (this includes underwater) is separated by large masses of earth called plates. These plates move and often rub against each other which causes earth quakes. The areas where plates meet are called faults. Volcanic eruptions could also cause earthquakes.
What is the difference between a topographic map and a topographic profile?
sometimes, the map view of an area is not enough. you can get a better feeling for the topography of earths surface from a profile view,or cross section. A profile view looks as though you were standing on earths surface and looking toward the horizon. examine the map view and profile view.
What two gasesmake up most of earths atmosphere?
Nitrogen and Oxygen
What two types of surface that is important for absorbing solar energy and keeps the planet warm?
what two types of surface is important for absorbing
Cause and effect of volcano?
Global Warming can be an effect of a volcano, and the cause is two tectonic plates rubbing together.Global Warming can be an effect of a volcano, and the cause is two tectonic plates rubbing together.
What two events have an effect on the Earth's surface?
the two events are jasmine tectonics and metal
How does the surface of the earth change when two continental plates collide?
The Earths surface changes shape when plates collide when the earths surface overlaps or when there are Earthquakes.
What effect do those two event have on earths surface?
Those events can cause significant disruptions to Earth's surface. Volcanic eruptions release ash and lava, which can alter landscapes and affect local ecosystems. Earthquakes can result in shaking and shifting of the ground, potentially causing landslides, tsunamis, and structural damage to buildings and infrastructure.
How many magnetic poles are there on the earths surface?
2
How is an earhquake started?
An earthquake is started when two plates (which lie under the Earths surface) rub together this creates movement which then sometimes pulls/pushes at the earths surface and creates giant cracks in the earths surface... and that is how an earthquake is started.
What Represents earths three dimensional surface in two dimensions?
Geographic Map
What two lines are the baselines for measuring distances on earths surface?
The equator, and the prime meridian.
What are two ways glaciers erode Earths surface?
The glacier scrapes the surface of the earth as it advances, then deposits that till at its terminus when it melts.
How is heat from earths interior transferred to earths surface by convections?
Beneath the surface of the earth temperature remains the same. Within the Earth, irregular convection cells within the mantle transfer heat from the core to the surface of the planet. Volcanoes and earthquakes are two examples of heat transferring from the interior to the surface.
Which is a pair of independent events?
Two events are independent if the outcome of one has no effect on the probability of the outcomes for the other.
What are two ways that rocks on the earths surface are changed?
1) physical erosion. 2) chemical weathering.
What are two types of rock formed on the earths surface?
Limestone, Conglomerate Cross bedded sandstone A Fulgerite
