What else can I help you with?
Is there is a recognizable pattern to where earthquakes seem to occur?
Earthquakes occur along fault lines and the edges of tectonic plates. These are areas where the earth's plates move against each other. When they slide past each other, earthquakes occur.
What happens when large sudden rock movements occur along a fault line?
Energy is released and earthquakes happen.
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
Where do most earthquake occur in California?
Earthquakes can occur almost anywhere in southern California, but are usually located in areas on major fault lines.
What might be the reason for the hazard pontential being confined to such a narrow area along the San Andreas Fault Zone?
San Andrea's fault is a strike slip fault. Major earthquakes occur at such faults. Refer to Elastic Rebound Theory.
What occur along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
What are place earthquakes occur?
Anywhere along fault lines.
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes commonly occur?
Along fault lines
Where is the location where earthquakes be likely to occur?
Along fault lines.
Where are country earthquakes most likely to occur?
along fault lines
Why do earthquakes occur the San Andrea's fault?
Earthquakes occur along the San Andreas Fault because of the tectonic plates. When the plates slip or shift, an earthquake happens.
Where are volcano and earthquakes likely to occur?
Between plate or along fault lines.
Area along a fault where relatively few earthquakes occur?
Seismic gaps.
What is the effect of large sudden rock movements occur along a fault?
earthquakes
Why do most earthquakes occur near or along a fault?

What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movements occur?
Earthquakes often occur along faults or breaks in Earth's crust where movements occur. These movements happen when stress builds up along the fault and is released suddenly, causing the rocks to break and generate seismic waves. Earthquakes can range in intensity depending on the magnitude of the movement along the fault.
How many earthquakes occur along the San Andreas fault each year?
AnswerAccording to the USGS, the plates along the San Andrea fault move about 1.7in per year.
