No ,mountains do not keep earth from shaking ,greatest earthquakes happen around the mountains like in Himalayas also mountains are created by the movement of the tectonic plates which create earthquakes.Just because the mountains are themselves stabilized by isostacy does not mean that the mountains stabilize the earth or the crust by isostacy. Prof David A Young.No self respecting geologists would claim that mountains keep earth from shaking.
What else can I help you with?
When the ground shakes it is called an?
It is called a tremor. Stronger tremors cause earthquakes.
Who is affected by earthquakes?
Anyone living in an area prone to earthquakes can be affected, regardless of age, gender, or socio-economic status. The impact of earthquakes can vary from property damage to loss of life depending on factors like proximity to the epicenter and building structures. Preparedness and awareness can help mitigate the effects of earthquakes on communities.
During an earthquake Earth's surface shakes hardest at the?
During an earthquake, the Earth's surface shakes hardest at the epicenter, which is the point on the surface directly above where the earthquake originated. The seismic waves radiate outwards from this point, causing the most intense shaking near the epicenter.
What is the cause of most major earthquakes?
The earth has plates on the ground that move and when it shakes too much it causes an earthquake. When on a fault line, the plates move even more causing bigger earthquakes in places such as Japan, San Francisco, and Los Angeles
How are earthquakes related to plates and faults?
Plate tectonics is when the plates on the earth's surface move, colliding into one another. When two plates collide, they can cause continental crust to be altered significantly. This can happen by displacing things such as roads and bridges, or by raising or lowering the ground. Plate tectonics can continue to make convergent boundaries and reverse faults slip after an earthquake, which is called an aftershock.
What word means the shakes that come after the earthquakes?
Aftershocks

What makes earthquakes and volcanoes?
an earthquakes makes a volacno erup because the earthquake shakes up the valanco
Why does the house shake during earthquakes?
The house shakes during earthquakes because the ground beneath it is moving violently due to the release of energy from tectonic plate movements. This movement causes the house to sway and shake, leading to potential damage or collapse.
Why does my house shake during earthquakes?
Your house shakes during earthquakes because the ground beneath it is moving violently due to the release of energy along a fault line. This movement causes seismic waves to travel through the Earth, shaking buildings and structures on the surface.
When the ground shakes it is called?
It is called a tremor. Stronger tremors cause earthquakes.

How does a seismogragh work for earthquakes?
The ground shakes moving a needle which is then used to see how strong it was based on how much the needle moved.
