What else can I help you with?
Earthquakes can occur when the what of rocks is passed?
Earthquakes can occur when the stress limit of rocks is passed, causing them to break and release built-up energy in the form of seismic waves that shake the Earth's surface.
When rocks stack on each other blank metamorphism can occur?
When rocks stack on each other, contact metamorphism can occur. This type of metamorphism happens when the high temperature and pressure from nearby molten rock alter the composition of the rocks in contact.
What happens when rocks beneath earth surface undergo stress?
what happens when rocks beneath earths surface under goes trees
Do most earthquakes occur on land or water?
The most earthquakes are mostly occurs on land
Which is the most common tectonic or volcanic earthquakes?
Tectonic earthquakes are more common than volcanic earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are caused by the shifting and breaking of rocks in the Earth's crust along tectonic plate boundaries, whereas volcanic earthquakes are associated with volcanic activity and occur as magma moves beneath the surface.
What are vibrations that occur when rocks break due to stress called?
Earthquakes
Earthquakes generally occur at plate boundaries where?
stress on rocks is greatest
Earthquakes can occur when the what of rocks is passed?
Earthquakes can occur when the stress limit of rocks is passed, causing them to break and release built-up energy in the form of seismic waves that shake the Earth's surface.
Why do earthquakes occur the San Andrea's fault?
Earthquakes occur along the San Andreas Fault because of the tectonic plates. When the plates slip or shift, an earthquake happens.
When are rocks and land moved?
This happens during road building, mining and by natural processes such as landslides and earthquakes.
What 3 things occur to the crust when earthquakes happen?
I do not know but the earth shakes when a earthquake happens...
What happens to earths surface as huge pieces of crust move?
most times earthquakes occur
What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
Do deep earthquakes refer to earthquakes deeper than 700 km?
No, the rocks in the earth at that depth are too rigid and plastic-like to store the amount of stress needed for an earthquake to occur.
Do all natural earthquakes occur along plate boundaries?
Not all they can occur inside plates due to slip on a fault or fracture, they can also occur after mass wasting events (landslides) and due to volcanic activity where as magma shifts underground it breaks up rocks causing small earthquakes often refered to as magmatic tremor.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
What happens when large sudden rock movements occur along a fault line?
Energy is released and earthquakes happen.
