Are most earthquakes caused by folding?
Most earthquakes are not caused by folding they are actually caused by faulting a sudden movement of land caused by friction.
The movement of the Earth's huge land masses is known as?
Plate tectonics, or continental drift.
Does earth's rotation cause land breezes or sea breezes?
Neither the Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect. Land and sea breezes are caused by temperature differences.
What caused the earth to continue to grow in size?
As the lava cools its makes rocks..... then it become part of the land and grows bigger as there is more lava
All the land on earth was covered by?
what land on the earth was covered by
What ways does plate movement contribute to shaping the earth?
when the plates break apart, it makes new land.
What caused the shape of the Earth?
1. weathering-physical and/or chemical2. erosion-different agents of weathering3.mass movement-land and mud slides4. tectonic plate movement-convergent and/or divergent5. gravity
Will your insurance cover you if your neighbor caused land movement by illegal grading?
tricky. damage caused by earth movement is specifically excluded. Land itself is excluded. do you have damages other than land? what you describe may not be "earth movement" by court definition - however if only land is damaged then no claim is possible under your own policy. There is potential against the neighbor's homeowners policy under the "liability" section - if the neighbor is legally liable for his actions and you can show "damages" then his homeowner's policy should step in an indemnify him.

How did you break land into 7 continents?

Which of the following is a change in the Earth's crust caused by volcanic eruptions?
formation of new land
What land features result from the force of plate movement?
Mountains and deep cracks in the surface of Earth are features that result from the forces of the plate movement.
How much of the Earth's surface is caused by warm desert land?
One third (33%) of the land surface of the earth is considered desert. However, that includes cold and hot deserts.
When did the continents split apart?
I saw that yesterday, Gotta log on ZINGO! During plate movement, the plates under the continents moved apart. This caused the land to move in separate directions. When the continents were all put together, the land was known as Pangea. Plate movement also causes the land to move together, which forms mountains.
