What else can I help you with?
Where are the biggest earthquakes in the world expected?
The biggest earthquakes in the world are expected along the plates that are on the inside of our earths crust like the mid Atlantic plate or the plate that caused the earthquake in Haiti
What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Do most earthquakes occur around earthquake valley?
Please more specific, as earthquakes occur worldwide.
Do earthquakes only occur in the daytime?
No they can occur at anytime.
Why do earthquakes do more damage when they occur in urban territories?
There are more structures etc. and people.
What kind of damage does s wave occur?
The seismic waves that cause the majority of damage in earthquakes are the surface waves of which there are two types.

Did any earthquakes or tremors occur in southern California during 1967?
Southern California did not have any significant earthquakes in 1967. There was an earthquake in 1968 and 3 earthquakes in 1969 that did significant damage to southern California.
Are there places in the US where earthquakes will probably not occur in the near future explain your answer?
Certain areas in the central and eastern United States, such as the Midwest and the East Coast, have lower seismic activity compared to the West Coast. These regions are located away from major tectonic plate boundaries where most earthquakes occur, making the likelihood of earthquakes less probable in the near future. However, no place is completely immune to seismic activity, as small earthquakes can still occur in unexpected areas.
Do earthquakes occur in the rainforest?
Yes, earthquakes can occur in rainforest regions just like any other area on Earth. Rainforests are not immune to seismic activity, and earthquakes can affect these regions, potentially causing damage to the ecosystem and local communities.
How often do earthquakes with a magnitude of 8 to 8.9 occur across the globe?
On average, earthquakes with a magnitude of 8 to 8.9 occur about 10-20 times per year worldwide. They are considered major earthquakes with significant potential for damage and can have long-lasting effects.
What is the expected damage that would occur at an IBD if an explostion was to take place at the closest PES?
personel will be injured
Do thousands of earthquakes occur each year?
The US Geological Survey estimate that there are several million earthquakes each year, but the vast majority of these will not be detected because they are too small in magnitude to detect or are larger, but occur to far away from a seismometer station. From this number, they estimate that there are 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year. 100,000 of these will be felt by humans and 100 of them will be large enough to cause damage.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
What statements are true of earthquakes?
Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, usually along faults. They can cause shaking and ground movement, as well as potential damage to structures and infrastructure. Earthquakes can vary in magnitude and occur worldwide.
