What Destructive Events can trigger an Earthquake?
Earthquakes are the vibrations caused the sudden release of energy by rocks breaking under stress. Rocks crack and slip past each other causing the ground to vibrate.
How do constuctive and destructive forces change earth?
constructive forces change earth by building up land or mountains from the earthquakes. Also, volcanoes spit out lava which turns into new rock. Destructive forces are basically weathering of the land and erosion from water, ice, wind, temperatures, or other natural stuff.
What is a geological event?
Earthquakes and Volcanoes,extinctions of dinosaurs,tsunamis,the breakup of Pangaea the super-continent and many other things
What are good and bad things about earthquakes?
Most people may only recognize earthquakes as bad things since they can cause harm to people and damage buildings. Earthquakes are physical events that tell us that the Earth is still forming and reforming itself. As the great tectonic plates move and push against each other, they build up the mountain ranges around the world.
Most earthquakes happen-?
Most earthquakes occur near plate boundaries.
Are tornadoes the most destructive?
No. While tornadoes can cause total destruction in some areas, they are very localized events. Other natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes, can be far more destructive because they cause destruction across a larger area.
Are tsunamis connected to any other natural phenomena?
Yes. Tsunamis are often triggered by earthquakes.
What Destructive Events can trigger an Earthquake?
Earthquakes are the vibrations caused the sudden release of energy by rocks breaking under stress. Rocks crack and slip past each other causing the ground to vibrate.
Are shallow earthquakes more destructive than deeper earthquakes of the same intensity?
Earthquakes that happen in shallow water cause tsunami and other side affects like landslides.
Do other disasters coexist with Tsunami?
Yes, Tsunamis are usually triggered by earthquakes. More rarely they can be cause by landslides and volcanic eruptions.
Are landslides accompanied by the occurrence of earthquakes?
The other way round. Landslides may be triggered by earthquakes but do not cause them.A large enough landslide will cause seismic activity that can be detected by seismometers however the trigger isn't the same as that found in earthquakes.
What other events happened when mount st helens erupted?
Earthquakes and mudflows
What other events were associated with mt vesuvius eruptions?
Yes there was also a tsunami involved with the eruption.
What natural events can occur when crustal plates move over each other?
earthquakes and tsunamis
Is a tornado mother nature's most destructive child?
No earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis are in terms of what has happened in recorded history. Tornadoes are can be extremely destructive on a localized scale, but compared with other disasters the area affected by a tornado is very small.
Which of these occur when Earth's crust slips a fault line tornadoes earthquakes snowstorms or water erosion?
Earthquakes occur when the crust slips. The other events and processes are unrelated.
Can hurricanes cause an earthquake?
No, earthquakes are triggered when a tectonic plate shifts. An earthquake takes place in the ground. Hurricanes, on the other hand, take place in the sky. It will take an enormous hurricane to move an area by one centimeter. But, they can never cause earthquakes.
