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.
Why did Poseidon make earthquakes?
In Greek mythology, Poseidon was the god of the sea and earthquakes. Earthquakes were seen as a result of his temper and rage. Poseidon's use of his trident to shake the earth symbolized his ability to create earthquakes.
Scientists know that the studies they are doing on earthquakes will lead to accurate predictions of earthquakes true or false?
False. While studies on earthquakes can improve our understanding of the Earth's dynamics and mechanisms that cause earthquakes, accurately predicting when and where earthquakes will occur is currently not possible. Earthquakes are complex natural events with many variables at play, making accurate predictions challenging.
Do earthquakes happen everyday?
Yes, earthquakes happen every day around the world. However, the majority of these earthquakes are minor and go unnoticed by people. Stronger earthquakes that can cause damage are less frequent.
Does Emily cause earthquakes?
No, Emily does not cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are natural phenomena caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. Emily, as an individual, does not have the ability to cause earthquakes.

Where are earthquakes a big problem?
Well earthquakes can happen in alot of different places such as Africa but the reason e=why they happen is because the earth is being shaken which causes it to happen
Was there ever been any earthquakes in Africa?
Earthquakes to a large size do not "occur" on the African continent due to there being no plate boundries running through it. This is as a result of earthquakes resulting from two plate boundries colliding, causing tension which is soon released; an earthquake. However earthquakes of smaller sizes can be seen distrubuted in Africa, especially the Eastern side. It would be impossible to say how often they take place due to earthquakes being totally unpredictable but ones of any size to comment on happen maybe a few times a year whereas smaller ones that are only picked up my seismographs can be number in their hundreds or thousands.
