Why Do More Earthquakes Occur In The Northern Hemisphere?
I am not sure that they actually do have more Earthquakes in the Northern hemisphere. However, as the Northern Hemisphere has more land mass than the Southern hemisphere, more land based Earthquakes will inevitably be detected.
Does an earthquake occur only in continental crust?
No, earthquakes can occur anywhere in the crust, oceanic crust or continental crust. An earthquake occurs when the hard brittle solid material of the crust fractures under stress. Earthquakes cannot occur deeper than the crust (the mantle is plastic and flows slowly under stress instead of fracturing, the outer core is liquid and flows even easier than the mantle).
Who has more earthquakes Hawaii or California?
Yes, California has earthquakes. EVERYWHERE has earthquakes. California is actually the biggest earthquake risk zone in the United States.Calafornia does have earthquakes it is actually the top state or whatever to have the most earthquakes in the world i thinkCalafornia does have earthquakes it is actually the top state or whatever to have the most earthquakes in the world i think
What causes more damage shallow or deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow-focus earthquakes cause more damage than deep-focus earthquakes. This is because shallow-focus earthquakes originate closer to the Earth's surface, which allows the energy to be more concentrated and lead to stronger shaking and more destruction of structures. Deep-focus earthquakes, occurring deeper underground, tend to have their energy dissipate before reaching the surface.
Why do some areas of the world have more earthquakes than others?
Some areas have more earthquakes because they are located near tectonic plate boundaries where the Earth's plates interact and cause seismic activity. The movement of these plates can lead to the buildup of stress in the Earth's crust, which is released as earthquakes. Areas with more active faults are more likely to experience frequent earthquakes.
Do earthquakes occur under the sea?
Yes, it is quite common for earthquakes to occur under the sea. But they can also occur under the land. Any location on the Earth's surface (or close to the Earth's surface, to be more accurate) can have an earthquake, although of course, some locations are more prone to earthquakes than others.
Is an earthquake more hazardous under the sea or on land?
Earthquakes under the sea can be more hazardous than those on land because they can trigger tsunamis. Tsunamis can travel long distances and cause significant damage and loss of life along coastlines. Earthquakes on land can still be destructive, causing building collapses and infrastructure damage.
Are there volcanoes under the sea?
There are more under water than on land.
Why Do More Earthquakes Occur In The Northern Hemisphere?

Are there more earthquakes in Florida or China?
China experiences many more earthquakes than Florida.
Do earthquakes take more than 1 hour?
No. Most earthquakes last less than a minute.
Are geologists more successful in predicting volcanic eruptions than earthquakes?
Yes-- they are more successful in predictiong volcanic eruptions than earthquakes
Do earthquakes change the appearance of Earth?
No, There is more than 100 earthquakes daily on earth.
How do manatees stay under water longer than the average land dwelling animal?
more predisposed to traveling underwater than other land animals.
What causes most deaths Earthquakes lightning Strikes or Hurricanes?
Earthquakes have caused more deaths than hurricanes, and hurricanes have caused more deaths than lightning.
Does an earthquake occur only in continental crust?

How many people die with earthquakes?
more than 1,000,000
