Why doesn't the Mariana trench produce earthquakes?
The Mariana Trench is a subduction zone where one tectonic plate is sliding beneath another. Earthquakes are commonly generated by the movement and interaction of Earth's tectonic plates, but in this case, the slow and steady subduction process does not typically produce the type of seismic activity associated with shallower fault lines.
What plate boundaries have the largest magnitude earthquakes?
The plate boundaries that have the largest magnitude earthquakes are convergent plates. Convergent plates are moving together and eventually collide. These plates are usually along the edge of an ocean and next to a continent.
Do most transform faults produce moderateshallow quakes?
Most transform faults do produce moderate to shallow earthquakes. These earthquakes occur as a result of the movement between two tectonic plates sliding past each other horizontally. The stress buildup along these faults can lead to the release of seismic energy in the form of earthquakes.
Movements following a major earthquake often produce smaller earthquakes called?
Aftershock
What Earthquakes produce that travel though Earth?
Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes and travel through the Earth. These waves can be divided into two main types: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.
What are the geologic factors that produce earthquakes?
It depends
What do earthquakes that occur on seafloor produce?
tsunamis are likely
Do Tsunamis produce earthquakes?
no the earthquake produces the tsunami
How faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the stress energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces.
Earthquakes produce what that travel through earth?
Seismic waves
What giant sea wave produce during earthquakes?
Tsunami
When earthquakes occur what waves do they produce?
Seismic waves and tsunamis.
Did the Greeks blame Mars for earthquakes?
No, they did not. Poseidon was the one who could produce earthquakes. Also, they could not blame Mars, who was a Roman god.

How do you measure earthquakes winds?
You don't. An earthquake is the shaking of the ground. It does not produce wind.
Can an earthquake produce a tsunami?
Yes. In fact most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
Can atom bombs cause earthquakes?
Underground detonations do cause earthquakes, however unlike natural earthquakes they produce only p-waves, they do not produce any s-waves. This makes them very easy to identify. The only underground nuclear detonations that have occurred so far were test shots. However deep penetrator warheads designed to take out missile silos or other fortifications will produce even stronger earthquakes, due to their much higher yield compared to typical test shots. Low altitude airbursts sometimes produce weak vibrations in the ground (sometimes these might be detectable on seismographs), but not actual earthquakes.
