What else can I help you with?
Can an earthquake create a volcano?
well................. not always. Sometimes it could a little EARTH QUAKE, but it depends where you live.
What is the cause of earth quake?
the techtonic plates moving, earthquakes mainly happen on the crakes in the techtonic plates like new zealand has quite a few because they are on a crack.
What is smaller earthquake that follow a larger earthquake?
An earthquake is the movement of the tectonic plates, the little quake that happens after the main quake is called the aftershock.Aftershocks. If an aftershock is stronger than the original earthquake, it takes its place and trhe last earthquake becomes a pre-shock.
What are the changes in the earth's structure that causes earthquakes?
Tectonic plates on The Earth move which causes earthquakes. If 1 plate collides with another it can form hills, volcanoes and/ or mountains. If the earthquake occurs in water, it can cause tsunamis.
If their was a earthquake out into the ocean would there be a tsunami?
there is a possibility, it depends on how strong the quake is, tsunamis do not occur on a type 2-3 quakes, tsunamis occur during the shift of the tectonic plates under the ground. quakes with intensity of 2-3 often develop cyclones or whirlpools. but immediately evacuate the area if an earthquake is occurring.
How is the earth quake formed?
two tectonic plates colide
When tectonic plates are broken up it is called what?
Earth Quake
How the quake form?
by the earths energy The Earth's tectonic plates move against one another in a sudden way.
How does an earth quake start?
The tectonic plates beneath the earth's crust are shifting away or towards each other.
WHY did the Kobe quake happen?
The Tectonic Plates Shook And Hit each other Forming Seismic Waves.........Mkay
What are the results of the collisions among tectonic plates?
EVen if the tactonic plates come close to each other there is a earth quake. If they collide then that most likely splitting of the world
Why can't you feel tectonic plates move?
You can if you happen to be on the site of an earth quake! (But do you actually feel your fingernails growing? It's about the same rate.)
When two tectonic plates collide what does it make?
When two tectonic plates collide, it can form various geological features such as mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. The specific features that form depend on the types of plates involved and the specific boundaries at the collision zone.
What is an earthquake made of?
An earth quake occures when the underground plates that are near the center of the earth come together, like 2 over-lap, the friction will cause heat, and also when the 2 over-lap, they can crack, which then causes the earth quake. The size of the earth quake all depends on the size of the crack.
Why do earthquakes seem common in some areas and rare on others?
Earthquakes occur more frequently in regions near tectonic plate boundaries where tectonic plates interact, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire. In contrast, areas located in the middle of tectonic plates experience fewer earthquakes because there is generally less stress and movement along these interiors.
Can an earthquake create a volcano?
well................. not always. Sometimes it could a little EARTH QUAKE, but it depends where you live.
What happen at sliding boundaries?
At sliding boundaries, tectonic plates are moving horizontally past each other. This movement can lead to earthquakes when the plates get stuck and then suddenly release. Over time, the sliding motion contributes to the reshaping of Earth's crust and the formation of features like fault lines.
