What really causes an earthquake?
When tectonic plates collide an Earthquake is created.
What causes the most earthquake's related deaths and injuries?
Aftershocks cause the most earthquake-related deaths and injuries.
What are the chances of a large earthquake in Ontario?
The odds of Ontario to have a large scale earthquake is slim to none due to the fact that Ontario doesn't sit on a fault line. The fault lines are what causes earthquake. For example, San Fransisco sits directly on top of the San Andreas fault line. When an earthquake hits, the impact is always devastating. Even recently with the 7.0 earthquake in Haiti, Haiti sits close to the Carribean fault line. This is what caused the Earthquake. Waterloo Ontario had an earthquake @1:48pmr June 23 2010 "3.5 or higher"
What area of the Earth's surface that is directly above the origin of the of an earthquake?
The epicentre
What is the area of the earth's surface that is directly above the origin of an earthquake?
The epicentre
What is directly above the earthquake epicenter?
Nothing (well the atmosphere and then outer space)! As the epicentre of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above the focus or hypocentre (which is the place in the Earth where the rupture / fault movement that causes the earthquake occurs).
What is the earthquake point directly above the earthquake?
The Epicenter
What do you call the area directly above the focus of an earthquake?
The area directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter. This is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where the earthquake originates in the crust.
Where is an earthquake's focus located?
An earthquake's Focus is located directly under the Epicenter of an earthquake. The Epicenterof an earthquake is located on the surface of the earthquake.
What does the rotation of earth causes?
earthquake No, not earthquake, but changes in atmospheric pressure.
What really causes an earthquake?
When tectonic plates collide an Earthquake is created.
Does an Earthquake have weather goelogic or human causes?
an earthquake has a weather goelogic
What is the vibration caused when there is movement along a fault?
It causes and earthquake
What is the definition of an epicentre of an earthquake?
The epicentre of an earthquake is the point on the earth's surface away from which the seismic waves produced by an earthquake radiate. This is similar to the way waves or ripples in a pond move outwards in concentric circles from the point where you throw a stone into the water. As such the epicentre is the point on the earth's surface directly above the earthquake's focus or hypocentre (the point within the earth where the fault rupture or movement actually occurs).
What is the focus and epicenter of an earthquake?
The focus of an earthquake is the point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs.The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's starting point, or focus.
What is the place on the surface directly above the earthquake's focus?
It is the epicentre of the earthquake on the earth's surface.
Where would the epicenter be of an earthquake that causes a tsunami?
The epicenter of an earthquake that causes a tsunami would likely be beneath the ocean floor, where the earthquake originated. Tsunamis are often triggered by undersea earthquakes that displace a large volume of water, creating the giant waves that can lead to a tsunami event.
