What are earth quakes located?

Earthquakes originate at fault lines. These are areas of the earth's crust that push together or pull apart at times. When they pull apart or push together they create movement. We call that movement an earthquake.

Earthquakes fastest waves that push and pull?

The fastest waves produced by an earthquake are called P-waves, or primary waves, that push and pull the ground in the direction of their movement. These waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases and are the first to be detected by seismographs during an earthquake event.

What is the theory of the plate tectonis?

the theory of plate tectonics is that subduction occures on the edges of the tectonic plates creating a movement. When the tectonic plates push or pull apart with enough pressure an earthquake starts. That is why California has major earth quakes. The pacific plate is grinding California in a horizontal movement. Once the pressure is released a tsunami could happen.


What is push or pull that makes an object move or puts it into motion?
