In the vast majority of cases, no. Earthquakes are a natural pehnomenon. However there is some evidence that drilling for oil and natural gas mar cause earthquakes along old faults.
Yes, Earthquakes are always caused by tectonic plate activity. An earthquake occurs around 500000 times a year but only 100000 of those quakes are felt as tremors on the surface of the earth.
volcano eruptions are triggered by seismic activity, meaning earthquakes and such. Mt St Helens is along the ring of fire, which is full of seismic activity.
Most earthquakes are not caused by folding they are actually caused by faulting a sudden movement of land caused by friction.
Earthquakes are related to plate movements as it is caused by them.
earthquakes caused by a nuclear or chemical reaction
small earthquakes caused by human activity
because the definitiong of weather is activity in our atmosphere. Tsunamis and earthquakes are caused by earths tectonic plates shifting and moving not atmospheric activity.
they are both caused by plat activity. Madison.W. ; )they both have plate activity. Madison w
Earthquakes are natural as they are caused by tectonic activity and they are known as disasters because the effects of earthquakes can be disastrous.
Human activity
No, earthquakes cannot be caused by the wind at all. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate boundaries, where the moving plates generate pressure. The pressure is released as an earthquake. Occasionally earthquakes may be caused by volcanoes, but this is simply another effect of moving tectonic plates. So the wind has no influence whatsoever on earthquakes or seismic activity.
In most cases, neither. Most earthquakes are the result of plate tectonics and most volcanoes form from plate tectonics as well, but one does not usually cause the other. However, volcanoes can and do cause earthquakes, espcially if they are getting ready to erupt. On rarer occasions, earthquakes have been suspected of triggering volcanic eruptions.

Earthquakes can cause tsunamis, along with landslides and volcanic activity in the sea. Practically any disturbance in the ocean can cause a tsunami, and most major tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
It is both because earthquakes are gecologic events.
It can be by geological means (i.e. earthquakes, floods, mountains and other other geographic barriers) or population dispersal. It can also be caused by human activity that splits a population, causing geographic isolation.
All of the problems in ozone are due to human activity. This has even caused a hole in ozone.
