What is most damaged by earthquakes?
Most earthquakes are caused by plates sliding aginst each other.
Can earthquakes happen underwater?
Of course! In fact, underwater earthquakes are a major cause of tsunamis.
How many earthquakes will happen?
That's impossible to answer with any sort of accuracy. Most earthquakes have one major event and numerous aftershocks.
Are earthquakes happening more often?
It depends what area you are in for major earthquakes, but in most places in the world, very weak earthquakes happen nearly everyday. They can only be noticed with special instruments.
How do earthquakes can be used to infer plate boundaries?
alright so when tectonic plates meet there are earthquakes because when the plates collide with each other because the earth is always moving it creates giant earthquakes that push and pull the tectonic plates on the crust of earth causing earth quakes. Volcanoes form at the boundaries of tectonic plates because it is one of the only places on the earths crust where there are holes in the crust so the liquid mantle (lava) can escape through the earths crust. forming volcanoes.
What is one thing that can cause a tsunami?
Most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes below the sea level. These undersea earthquakes are a result of shifting in the earths tectonic plates.
Would a earthquake happen in Michigan?
yes but not major ones most are caused by other earthquakes
Has an earthquake ever caused a tsunami?
Earthquakes can cause tsunamis, along with landslides and volcanic activity in the sea. Practically any disturbance in the ocean can cause a tsunami, and most major tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
What are most earthquakes cause by?
moving tectonic plates on earths surface
What is most damaged by earthquakes?
Most earthquakes are caused by plates sliding aginst each other.
Are most earthquakes caused by folding?
No, most earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy along faults in the Earth's crust, not by folding. Folding is a slow process of deformation in the Earth's crust, while earthquakes are the result of rapid movement along faults.
When does a tsunami happen most frequently?
well, tsunami's are caused by earthquakes and most earthquakes occur in the sea.
What happens to earths surface as huge pieces of crust move?
most times earthquakes occur
Most of the Japan earthquakes are caused by which fault in Japan?
cuz it did alright
Are earthquakes caused by volcanic activity or is volcanic activity caused by earthquakes?
In most cases, neither. Most earthquakes are the result of plate tectonics and most volcanoes form from plate tectonics as well, but one does not usually cause the other. However, volcanoes can and do cause earthquakes, espcially if they are getting ready to erupt. On rarer occasions, earthquakes have been suspected of triggering volcanic eruptions.
What causes most deaths Earthquakes lightning Strikes or Hurricanes?
Earthquakes have caused more deaths than hurricanes, and hurricanes have caused more deaths than lightning.
Can an earthquake produce a tsunami?
Yes. In fact most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
