What caused the Kashmir earthquake?
The Kashmiri Earthquake was affected by the destructive tectonic plate boundaries. Eurasian and Indian plate hitting each other. That's what caused the Himalayas. Once, they hit an earthquake occurs. actually it ocurs not as soon as it hits but after hundreds and thusands of years after the presure builds up enough
What are earthquake after earthquake?
A small earthquake that happens after a larger one is called an aftershock. Aftershocks happen because the crust in the area where the main earthquake happened is adjusting to the earthquake's effects.
Why might geologist worry if no earthquakes occur for 25 years?
Geologists may worry if no earthquakes occur for 25 years because it could indicate a build-up of stress along tectonic plate boundaries, potentially leading to a larger, more destructive earthquake in the future. The lack of seismic activity could also disrupt the natural cycle of releasing stress and contribute to uncertainty about when the next earthquake might occur. Monitoring seismic activity is crucial for understanding and preparing for potential earthquake hazards.
Which state in the US has experienced a major earthquake magnitude 7.0 or greater in the last 200 years?
Alaska has experienced several major earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.0 or greater in the last 200 years. Notably, the 1964 Alaska earthquake, also known as the Great Alaska earthquake, had a magnitude of 9.2 and is the second most powerful earthquake ever recorded.
A major earthquake often generate smaller earthquake called?
These smaller earthquakes are called aftershocks. Aftershocks can often be as strong as the earthquake its self and there can be many.
What is the chance of an earthquake occurring in Australia?
According to an internet search, Australia experienced one earthquake of 2.0 magnitude or greater every day during the first decade of the 21st century. Tremors that scare the residents occur every 1-2 years. Potentially destructive earthquakes occur about every 5 years.
When did the first earthquake happen in Australia?
The first earthquake in Australia happened hundreds of millions of years ago.
Was the okefenokee swamp created by destructive force erosion weathering impact of organisms earthquake volcano?
The Okefenokee Swamp was formed by a combination of weathering and erosion processes over thousands of years, primarily due to the accumulation of organic material and the presence of a low-lying basin. It was not directly created by destructive forces like earthquakes, volcanoes, or impacts of organisms.
Was the Yuan Dynasty peaceful or destructive?
they were very destructive. Kublai Khan conquered all of China for the first time in 300 years
What are the chances of having 6.5 earthquake within 50 km of Reno in the next 50 years?
The probability of experiencing a 6.5 magnitude earthquake within 50 km of Reno, Nevada, over the next 50 years is estimated to be around 10-15%. This estimation is based on historical seismic activity and geological studies of the region, which is seismically active due to its proximity to fault lines. However, predicting exact occurrences remains challenging due to the complex nature of earthquake processes.
Where did the biggest earthquake occur in the last five years?
The biggest earthquake in our century is the Indian Ocean earthquake in December 2004 with a magnitude of 9.1. But that's not exactly in the last five years, so the Sendai earthquake in Japan today (March 11, 2011) is the biggest earthquake in the last 5 years, with a magnitude of 8.9.
