What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Where are earthquakes common where plates meet?
conservative plate margins
What causes many strong earthquakes to occur?
Many strong earthquakes occur among destructive plate margins, this is because great stresses build up in the subduction zone as one plate is forced down below the other, this energy builds up to great force and is then released in an earthquake.
Do most severe earthquakes occur at plate boundaries or in the middle of plates?
Plate Boundaries
What plate boundary do earthquakes usually occur on?
earthquakes only happen at the edge of tectonic plates because of them moving which causes the 'quake' so there are never any BIG earthquakes in the UK because it is in the middle of a tectonic plate
Why earthquakes occur at conservative plate margins?
Because of the big grinding of the conservative plate margin cause the land to go back and forth
Do earthquakes occur at constructive margins?
yes earthquakes do occur on constructive margins and also the other plate margins as well. in fact all of them
Why do volcanoes occur at conservative plate margins?
after earth
Where in the earth do the most Earthquakes occur?
on the tectonic plate margins.
Why do earthquakes occur at conservative plate boundaries?
because they do
Do earthquakes occur in plate interiors?
yes earthquakes happen at all types of plate boundaries but most of them occur at destructive, collisional, and conservative plate boundaries
How do plate tectonics cause earth quakes?
Plate tectonics move. But the plate margin that cause strong earthquakes are collision and conservative plate margins. I hope it helped!
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
Where are earthquakes common where plates meet?
conservative plate margins
What causes many strong earthquakes to occur?
Many strong earthquakes occur among destructive plate margins, this is because great stresses build up in the subduction zone as one plate is forced down below the other, this energy builds up to great force and is then released in an earthquake.
What events occur at plate margins?
earthquake, volcano
