Why do earthquakes start at all?
That heat from the earth's mantle causes the tectonic or lithospheric plates of the earth's crust to move away or toward each other is the reason why earthquakes start.
Can Earthquakes start on land?
Yes. Most do start on land
Can the smell of rotten eggs indicate an earthquake?
An earthquake does not produce any particular smell. Indirect effects of earthquakes may rupture gas lines and start fires and so create the smell of natural gas or of various materials burning.
Give one fact about earthquakes start with a?
A seiche, is what happens in the swimming pools of Californians during and after an earthquake.
Can weather start Earthquakes?
Well, not really. There are solar flares, so things do change within the sun, but there is no land, no tectonic plates, and therefore no earthquakes in the way we understand them on Earth. There are vibrations within the sun's interior causing the propagation of waves, the study of which is known as Helioseismology but as noted above they are not really comparable to seismic activity on Earth. Please see the related links.

Is time to start worrying about natural disasters?
The way we are consuming and destroying or natural resources through pollution and other factors, the nature will going to die soon. We have to worry about it and save these natural resources otherwise the world will be destroyed soon.

How can an ecosystem recover a natural disaster?
This is a fairly broad question given that there are many kinds of natural disasters and many kinds of ecosystems to which such disasters may happen. But in general, life only needs a tiny toehold with which to start to regain its former abundance, and once this process begins, the ecosystem will normally start to heal in some way. However, some disasters are more destructive than others, and in some cases recovery is very slow.
How do humans cause natural disasters?
The word 'natural' indicates that humans have not caused the disaster. However, human activity can certainly interfere with nature, which in turn may either cause a natural disaster or make its effects much worse. For example, human do not cause earthquakes that are generated by tectonic movement and seismic activity, but underground mining can result in instability that causes earthquakes. Humans do not cause the rain and monsoonal weather patterns that bring floods, but their activities in damaging the banks of rivers, and alteration of natural waterways, as well as poor drainage patterns in urban areas certainly contributes to flooding, and in some cases is the direct cause of floods which would not have otherwise occurred. Humans also do not create the weather patterns that cause droughts, but unwise agricultural practices and deforestation most certainly exacerbate the effects of a drought, leading to increased desertification. Humans do not cause tornados, hurricanes or cyclones but again, their activities in an area can make the effect of these natural disasters worse.
What disasters start with the letter G?
germs
