I think it's a direct effect of the poles shifting on the planet earth. I think it's a direct effect of the poles shifting on the planet earth.
Most earthquakes are caused by plates sliding aginst each other.
yes because most earthquakes are under the sea
The Pacific and North American plates cause most of Alaska's earthquakes.
According to the USGS National Earthquake Information Center there are over a million earthquakes each year around the world -- that's on average 3,561 per day or 2.5 per minute. Only a portion of these are recorded (~20 - 30K per year) because most occur over remote areas or in the ocean.The most recent large-scale earthquake is the magnitude 9.0 quake on March 11, 2011 that occurred off the coast of Japan. The earthquake in Haiti happened on January 2010 and Chile on February 2010.For a list of the most recent earthquakes in US or around the world (by country or year) check out the lists (with maps) at the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program.
There are no single-word comparative and superlative for recent. They would be "More recent" and "Most recent"
The most recent earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. Earthquakes are more likely to occur in areas where tectonic plates meet, leading to increased seismic activity due to the movement of plates.
California
7.0
The most recent one was in Christchurch, New Zealand.
The most recent earthquake in Russia was the 2013 Okhotsk Sea earthquake. The second most recent earthquake in Russia was the 2008 Chechnya earthquake.
The most recent earthquakes were likely caused by the movement of tectonic plates along a fault line, such as the San Andreas Fault in California or the Pacific Ring of Fire. These movements can result in stress accumulation and sudden release of energy, leading to earthquakes. Environmental factors like human activities or weather conditions can also contribute to triggering earthquakes in some cases.
The magnitude of the most recent earthquake varies depending on location and time. I recommend checking a reliable source such as the US Geological Survey (USGS) for up-to-date information on recent earthquakes.
the titonic plates shift and move under the ocean which cause earthquakes and tsunamies
The name of the most recent war fought by the United States was Operation Enduring Freedom in Iraq. There are still ongoing interdictions that are still occurring.
No. Currently there is no way to prevent earthquakes from occurring.
Although they do not happen very often in South Dakota, earthquakes do happen. The most recent earthquake, 3.5 magnitude, was on Thursday, December 12, 2013, near Rapid City, SD. To track earthquakes in South Dakota, see the related links.
they're just natural
