What is plate tectonics theory?
Tectonics is the theory that the earth's surface is split into plates that float on the surface of semi-molten rock known as the mantle layer. For instance, as the plates are on the move, (albeit, extremely slowly) the India Plate colliding (converging) with the Asian Plate resulted in the formation (upthrust) of the Himalayas.
How did the earthquake in lincolnshire happen which plates moved?
The reason why the Lincolnshire earthquake happend, was because all the vibrations of the other plates under the ground surounding it couldn't take any more preasure and then it just... Contact me on:...? Please ;]] x] I think the pacific plates... moved i am having a guess but it might have been the Asian one... im such a nerd ain't i ! ;]] lol
What are the 3 major earthquake zones?
The three major earthquake zones are the Pacific Ring of Fire, which surrounds the Pacific Ocean and is known for its high levels of seismic activity, the Alpide Belt in Europe and Asia, which includes the Himalayas, and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where earthquakes occur along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
Why is the Mediterranean-Asian Belt an earthquake zone?
An earthquake is described as being when a faulting occurs meaning sudden lateral or vertical movement along a rupture or break. so earthquakes occur wherever there is a fault or sudden movement of the earth plates. (plates move slowly)
How many deaths are there in an average earthquake?
it varies on how power the earthquake is and how the environment where the earthquake happened is. if the earthquake is powerful and the environment is strongly built the average kill will be very less compared to a strong earthquake and an environment which is not built strong enough.
What two plates caused the earthquake?
Assuming you are talking about the earthquake in Japan, the two plates are the Pacific and the Asian plates.
What type of fault caused the Tangshan earthquake?
the uneven heat distribution between the plate tectonics
What is mediterranian-trans-asiatic earthquake belt?
The Mediterranean-Trans-Asian earthquake belt is a major seismic region extending from the Mediterranean Sea in the west to Southeast Asia in the east. It is characterized by high seismic activity due to the collision of tectonic plates, primarily the Eurasian and African plates. This region is prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity.

Which Asian courntry has the most earthquake in the ring of fire?
Indonesia
What are the seven plates?
the seven minor plates are..... indian african nazca america australian asian rusian
What type of earthquake may have caused the Asian tsunami?
a big one
What Most earthquake happen?
Most earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries, where the Earth's plates interact with each other. The majority happen in regions known as the "Ring of Fire," which encircles the Pacific Ocean and is characterized by frequent seismic activity due to subduction zones, transform faults, and divergent boundaries. Other significant earthquake-prone areas include the Himalayan region and the Mediterranean-Asian belt. The movement of these tectonic plates causes stress to build up, which is released as seismic energy during an earthquake.
What plates caused the Asian tsunami?
The India Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
What created the Himalayas the Tibetan Plateau?
The Indian subcontinent colliding with the Asian plate
What is the location of the majority earthquake epicenter?
The majority of earthquake epicenters are located along tectonic plate boundaries, particularly in regions such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, which encircles the Pacific Ocean. This area is characterized by intense seismic activity due to the movement of tectonic plates, resulting in frequent earthquakes. Other significant areas include the Himalayan region and the Mediterranean-Asian seismic belt. Overall, these locations are prone to earthquakes due to the interactions of the Earth's lithospheric plates.
