How are earthquakes volcanoes and asteroid strikes different from weathering and erosion?
Weathering and erosion change the surface of the earth very slowly. Earthquakes, volcanoes and asteroids change the surface immediately.
How are marsquakes similar to earthquakes?
Mars quakes are caused by its mass and size collapsing in different parts of the planet. and earthquakes are caused by pressure being released between 2 tectonic plates
What effect do these two events have on earth's surface?
earthquakes affect the surface of the earth by cracking or opening the surface of the earth or by changing it in many different ways
How do you locate an earthquakes epicenters?
An earthquakes epicenter is the point on the surface directly above the focus
Streamlike movements of water at or near the surface of the ocean are called?
Stream like movements of water that occur near the surface of the ocean are called surface currents. Stream like movements of ocean water far below the surface are known as a deep current.
I want an information on earthquakes?
earthquakes are movements on the earths surface
What does the word Seismograph mean in science?
A seismograph is a machine for measuring and recording parameters relating to the movements of the Earth's surface caused by earthquakes or explosions.
What is produced by movements of faults around the lithosphere and asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is the Earth's outermost crust. The asthenosphere is a ductile, somewhat deformable, layer 60-150 miles (100-250 km) below the Earth's surface, under the lithosphere. Movements between the two layers cause earthquakes.

What are the types of faults that lead to earthquakes?
it is the movement of plates between the surface of the earth!:0)
What do you notice about the location of earthquakes and the plates that make up the earth's surface?
earthquakes usually occur on the border between plates, as on the border between, the two plates rub against each other a lot, which creates earthquakes
What effect do these two events have on earth's surface?
earthquakes affect the surface of the earth by cracking or opening the surface of the earth or by changing it in many different ways
How do earthquakes and glaciers change the surface of the earth?
Earthquakes and glaciers change the surface of the earth by shaping it. Glaciers can cause glacial scarring when they move. Earthquakes can create different types features depending on the seismic wave, speed, lag time, and strength Hope this helps B)
How does mapping faults help predict earthquakes?
Geologists have developed instruments to measure changes in elevation in tilting of the land surface and ground movements along fault
Are earthquakes below the surface called tsunamis?
Mo, they are known as earthquakes but the earthquakes cause the tsunamis.
What can earthquakes do to the earths surface?
Shake it
