An earthquake happens when the plates below the earth get stuck and then unjam. Think of trying to push a door open with all of your might, and then it budges and you accidentally throw yourself into the other room.
To protect yourself, you should go in a doorway or under a table. A doorway is better.
The three types of earthquakes are tectonic earthquakes, volcanic earthquakes, and collapse earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are the most common and are caused by the movement of earth's plates. Volcanic earthquakes occur in association with volcanic activity, while collapse earthquakes happen in underground mines and caverns.
the ring of fire is a chain of volcanoes, but I recall hearing somewhere around 80%
In Greek mythology, Poseidon was the god of the sea and earthquakes. Earthquakes were seen as a result of his temper and rage. Poseidon's use of his trident to shake the earth symbolized his ability to create earthquakes.
When two plates are moving horizontally past each other, they slide past in opposite directions. This sliding motion is known as a transform boundary. Friction between the plates can build up stress, which is eventually released in the form of earthquakes.
False. While studies on earthquakes can improve our understanding of the Earth's dynamics and mechanisms that cause earthquakes, accurately predicting when and where earthquakes will occur is currently not possible. Earthquakes are complex natural events with many variables at play, making accurate predictions challenging.
Japan
plate rub against each other to cause an earthquakes
yes, it happens
siesmic waves are sent and an earthquake happens.
it mostly happens in epicenter of the india it happens because of pollution.
Weather happens in the sky, earthquakes happen under the ground.
In Fifteen seconds 21 earthquakes happen it depends if its night or day
Earthquakes and mountain building.
Earthquake happens when there is alote of friction held in the ground, if there is alote the friction will release quick, when it releases an earthquake happens. if you live on the Canadian shield you are safe from earthquakes
Yes tectonic plate movement happens everywhere. So earthquakes can happen anywhere.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados
