Nothing. It all has to do with plate tectonics.They push up rock from the crust causing earthquakes. There are plates in places like California, which is why earthquakes are common.
What else can I help you with?
What type of weathering do earthquakes do?
Earthquakes mainly contribute to mechanical weathering by causing rocks to break apart due to the intense pressure and shaking. This can lead to the formation of smaller rock fragments and debris.
What potential natural events could alter sedimentary rock formation?
Natural events such as volcanic activity, earthquakes, flooding, and landslides can alter sedimentary rock formation. These events can disrupt the sedimentation process, cause sediments to be re-deposited in different locations, or change the conditions under which sediments are deposited, affecting the characteristics of the resulting sedimentary rock.
How does heat energy in the earth's mantle affect the rock material?
Heat energy in the Earth's mantle affects the rock material by causing it to undergo processes like melting, recrystallization, and convection. This leads to the movement and flow of molten rock, which can generate volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and the formation of new landforms.
What layer of earth is brittle?
The brittle layer of Earth is the crust, which is the outermost layer of the planet. It is composed of solid rock that behaves as a brittle material under stress, leading to the formation of faults and earthquakes.
Stress in Earth's crust leads to movement and changes in Earth's lithosphere that result in?
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
What type of weathering do earthquakes do?
Earthquakes mainly contribute to mechanical weathering by causing rocks to break apart due to the intense pressure and shaking. This can lead to the formation of smaller rock fragments and debris.
How are earthquakes rlated to the formation of mountains?
they both have rock thy are very cloerfilub and almost as the same miaril as they do

What is seismologist rock?
a person who study about earthquakes rock :)
What is the sudden movement of a rock masses as a result of tech tonic earthquakes?
The sudden movement in rock mass causes earthquakes. This is when the rock mass comes together and collapses.
Are Earthquakes and volcanoes are important for the formation of island chains?
Yes, earthquakes and volcanoes are important for the formation of island chains. Volcanic activity creates new land through the eruption of lava and ash, leading to the formation of islands. Earthquakes are also generated by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, which can contribute to the formation and shaping of island chains.
What are the disasters that follow after a continental drift?
Earthquakes, Volcanoes formation
What rock is made in earthquakes and volcanoes?
igneous rock. It is made from hardened magma. That's from volcanoes. I don't think earthquakes make rocks.
What causes rock layers to be displaced?
Earthquakes
WHAT is the vibration produced by the breaking of rock?
Earthquakes
What is the Vibrations produced by the breaking of the rock?
Earthquakes
What is lithification most closely related to?
sedimentary rock formation
