Is 3 miles considered deep or shallow for a earthquake?
That is quite shallow for an earthquake.
Do deep earthquakes refer to earthquakes deeper than 700 km?
No, the rocks in the earth at that depth are too rigid and plastic-like to store the amount of stress needed for an earthquake to occur.
How deep was the 7.1 earthquake 2010 Christchurch?
10km
Does the Richter scale measure how deep an earthquake is?
No. The Richter's scale measures the magnitude or intensity of an earthquake on a scale up to ten.
Is an earthquake's epicenter located deep underground?
False, the focus is located deep underground. The epicenter is at ground level
What types of plate boundaries are associated with deep earthquakes?
All of them. For example: the earthquake of 2010 in Chile happened along a convergent fault while the 2010 earthquake in Haiti happened along a transform fault. Source: I am just a genius...
Where deep earthquake occur?
in the core
What is the maximum depth a deep focus earthquake can occur to?
what is the maximum depth of a deep-focus earthquake
What happens at a transfrom boundary?
The transform boundary is also known as the transform fault. This type of boundary is commonly found in deep ocean floors and are typically involved in movement which aids in relieving tension in the layers of the earth.
Describe what happens at a transfrom boundary-?
The transform boundary is also known as the transform fault. This type of boundary is commonly found in deep ocean floors and are typically involved in movement which aids in relieving tension in the layers of the earth.
In what type of boundary do deep earthquakes occur in?
They occur at convergent boundaries where subduction is occurring.
Why deep focus earthquake occur at this type of plate boundary but not at others?
colliding plates collide one subducts and the subducting plate allows more earthquakes at deeper depths! Because im awesome i am allowed to be more knowledgeable the you!
What is the meaning of a plutonic earthquake?
A plutonic Earthquake is an earthquake which occurs in the ocean
What are the types of metamorphism and their location?
Contact = Close to a hot spot Dynamic = Along a transform boundary Impact = Near a crater Regional = At deep subduction areas
What are the type of metamorphism to its location?
Contact - Close to a hot spot Dynamic - Along a transform boundary Impact - Near a crater Regional - At deep subduction areas
What is a deep earthquake?
Deep earthquakes occur in a region of the mantle called the Benioff zone, where seismic activity follows the interaction between a subducting plate and the upper mantle.
An earthquake causes metamorphic rock deep inside a mountain to be pushed up to the mountains surface What type of rock will the metamorphic rock most likely transform into next?
Sedimentary
