Actually i found the answer. A lot of earths plates are found there and they rub against each other a causing earthquakes.
along the edge of the pacific plate
Earthquakes occur all the time all over the world, both along plate edges and along faults.
Energy is released and earthquakes happen.
They happen along the fault lines that separate or crash into each other. The planet is made of Tectonic plates that are constantly moving, and that's why earthquakes happen
Earthquakes relieve the tension building between tectonic plates. so, loads of small earthquakes lessen the chance that a massive earthquake will happen along the same plate boundary.
Earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and contiential plates.
Earthquakes can occur along tectonic plate boundaries, where the plates are in motion and often collide or slide past one another. The most active areas for earthquakes are along the Pacific Ring of Fire and along mountain ranges like the Himalayas. However, earthquakes can also occur in areas where there are underground faults or volcanic activity.
Yes, earthquakes can happen near the equator. The occurrence of earthquakes is not limited to specific regions and can happen anywhere along tectonic plate boundaries, including those near the equator. The factors that contribute to earthquakes, such as plate movement and interactions, can be present in equatorial regions.
I Don't really know.... BUT Earthquakes happen when idiots poop in the ground.... TRUE STORY!
along the edge of the pacific plate
Not just in hot places. They can happen anywhere, but mostly along fault lines.
Most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen along the edges of the plates.
Earthquakes are usually happen along the edges of the tectonic plates and are caused by the plates hitting together.
earthquakes happen when sections of the earths crust shift.These shifting parts called plates,are actually pieces of the crust floating on the hot molten interior of the earth. The majority of earthquakes happen along the edges of those plates,and along weak areas of the crust called fault zones
Studying plate tectonics and observing that earthquakes occur along these plates can help people so they have a better understanding of why earthquakes happen and how we can try and predict when one will happen by looking at past earthquakes to find out how they occured and which plate boundaries they occured to try and predict when and if one will happen again (also by looking at the movement of the plates).
Earthquakes occur all the time all over the world, both along plate edges and along faults.
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
