What kind of scientist studies ways of predicting earthquakes?
A seismologist studies earthquakes, their causes and effects.
Can you stop earthquakes?
No, earthquakes happen on there own. Kind of like how you can't stop tsunamis, tornadoes, or hurricanes.
Where are earthquakes generally more violent?
Along a boundary where tension builds up over a great period of time. Ducis!);
What is a positive effect of an earthquake?
Earthquakes relieve the tension building between tectonic plates. so, loads of small earthquakes lessen the chance that a massive earthquake will happen along the same plate boundary.
What kind of landforms happen from earthquakes?
Mountains of tectonic plates i think!
What kind of stress causes earthquakes?
Three different kinds of stress casue earthquakes, tension, compression, and sheraring From a 6th grader, Yep
Convection here leads to earthquakes?
sadfsdf
What type of deformation leads to earthquakes?
iT CHANGES THE SHAPE OF THE ROCK BUT DOES NOT CAUSE EARTHQUAKES
What stress causes earthquakes?
There are three types of stress tension, compression, and shearing they all cause earthquakes.
What do sliding plates release that causes earthquakes?
Sliding plates release tension and energy to cause earthquakes.
How many ways can earthquakes move?
3.Suspension,compresion,and tension
When was A Different Kind of Tension created?
A Different Kind of Tension was created in 1979.
What leads to earthquakes along a fault?
bending of the rocks followed by slipping...
What could cause an earthquake?
Seismic waves cause vibrations which leads to earthquakes
Do scientist have the power to control or predict earthquakes?
Scientists have no power to control earthquakes, nor to specifically predict them, but a logical area that the earthquakes would take place is along the plates of the earths crust. (Their shifting leads to earthquakes)
How was the new Madrid fault formed?
the tension built up make earthquakes around this area
Why when and where do earthquakes strike?
It is when two plates in the earth because of the release of stress or tension in the earth's lithosphere.
