What is Dilation of Earthquake?

Essentially, dilation is the expansion of a rock (or rocks). The four primary stages of dilation in regard to an earthquake are as follows: 1. Micro-cracks in a rock 2. Expansion (dilation) of the rock 3. Influx of water 4. Earthquake Source: San Diego State University GEOL 303 Lecture

How do geologists determine earthquake risk?

Geologists determine earthquake risk by studying the history of past earthquakes in the area, identifying active faults, and measuring the buildup of stress along fault lines. They also use tools like seismic monitoring to detect micro-earthquakes and track tectonic plate movements to assess the likelihood of future earthquakes.

Which tectonic plates caused the Haitian earthquake of January 2010?

On a global tectonic scale, movement of the Caribbean and the North American plates were responsible for the Haitian earthquake. However on a subregional tectonic scale, there is a smaller plate that separates the Caribbean and the North American plates known as the Gonave micro-plate on which Haiti is partly situated (on the eastern end). The Gonave micro-plate is bounded to the north by the Oriente and Septentrional Fracture Zones and to the south by the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault, movement on which caused the magnitude 7 Haitian earthquake on the 12th of January 2010. Please see the related questions and links.

An earthquake rated 2 on the Richter scale would be .?

An earthquake rated 2 on the Richter scale is considered a micro earthquake, which is typically not felt by people and usually does not cause any damage. These low-magnitude earthquakes are often only detected by seismographs. While they can occur frequently in some areas, they generally have little to no impact on daily life.

How dams lead to earthquakes?

There is more pressure on the micro-cracks in the near reservoirs, and when there is more pressure on the rocks the water acts like a lubricant to the faults and is stopped by friction against the rock surfaces which causes an earthquake.
