What else can I help you with?
Do most earthquakes occur on land or water?
The most earthquakes are mostly occurs on land
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain what?
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
What season do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes are not a seasonal phenomenon and so the time of year has no effect on the occurrence of earthquakes. As such, earthquakes can happen at any time of the year as they occur independent of weather and climate.
The deepest earthquakes occur were?
The deepest earthquakes occur at subduction zones where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another into the Earth's mantle. These earthquakes can occur as deep as 700 km below the surface.
Where do the weakest earthquakes occur on?
The weakest earthquakes, measuring less than 2.0 on the Richter scale, can occur anywhere around the world. These earthquakes are generally not felt by people and are often only detected by seismographs.
The theory of tectonic plates help to explain?
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Do earthquakes occur as earth's plates collide?
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur
What type of earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes?
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
What geologic events occur at transform boundries?
Earthquakes
Would a strong earthquake be more likely to occur along a fault where few earthquakes have happened recently or along a fault where several minor earthquakes have happened recently explain?
it is more likely to have a strong earthquake where few recent earthquakes have happened
What occur along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
Where on earth do earthquakes occur?
Most earthquakes occur at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates.
Can you explain why earthquakes don't happen everywhere on Earth?
Earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries where stress builds up and is released suddenly. These boundaries create areas of intense geological activity that lead to seismic events. In regions away from plate boundaries, there is less stress build-up and therefore a lower likelihood of earthquakes occurring.
Explain how earthquakes occur at transform plate boundaries. ?
They slide past each other slowly, but when there is an event when they slide a bit too fast, then you get an earthquake.
