What else can I help you with?
Was the coast range partly caused by folding?
Yes, the Coast Range was partly formed by folding caused by tectonic plate movements. The collision between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate created intense pressure and folding of the Earth's crust, resulting in the uplift of the Coast Range.
What are the three types of earhquakes?
The three types of earthquakes are tectonic earthquakes, volcanic earthquakes, and collapse earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are the most common and are caused by the movement of earth's plates. Volcanic earthquakes occur in association with volcanic activity, while collapse earthquakes happen in underground mines and caverns.
What type of plate boundary with the most occurrences of earthquake?
The type of plate boundary with the most occurrences of earthquakes is the convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates collide. The intense pressure and stress caused by the collision can result in frequent seismic activity and powerful earthquakes.
What mountain ranges were caused by folding?
The Appalachian Mountains in North America and the Alps in Europe are examples of mountain ranges caused by folding of the Earth's crust through tectonic processes.
Are earthquakes caused by human activity?
Earthquakes are primarily caused by natural processes such as the movement of tectonic plates and volcanic activity. However, human activities like mining, reservoir-induced seismicity from filling large reservoirs, and underground nuclear tests have been linked to inducing earthquakes in certain circumstances. Most earthquakes are natural phenomena.
What is most damaged by earthquakes?
Most earthquakes are caused by plates sliding aginst each other.
When does a tsunami happen most frequently?
well, tsunami's are caused by earthquakes and most earthquakes occur in the sea.
What is most of earths major earthquakes caused by?
Earths Major Earthquakes are caused by faulting of rock in earth's crust.Hope this helps
Are earthquakes caused by volcanic activity or is volcanic activity caused by earthquakes?
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.
Which one of these mountains ranges alps Himalayas Appalachian or great basin were caused by folding?
The alps were caused by folding
Most of the Japan earthquakes are caused by which fault in Japan?
cuz it did alright
What causes most deaths Earthquakes lightning Strikes or Hurricanes?
Earthquakes have caused more deaths than hurricanes, and hurricanes have caused more deaths than lightning.
Large-scale folding of the earth's crust may be caused by what?
Large-scale folding of the earth's crust may be caused by what?
Can an earthquake produce a tsunami?
Yes. In fact most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
Was the coast range partly caused by folding?
Yes, the Coast Range was partly formed by folding caused by tectonic plate movements. The collision between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate created intense pressure and folding of the Earth's crust, resulting in the uplift of the Coast Range.
Is the Great Basin caused by folding?
yes it is
Has an earthquake ever caused a tsunami?
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.
