Usually, the kinds of earthquakes that occur in Hawaii are generated by volcanoes.

Compare the locations of majority of earthquake epicenter with the location of volcanoes around thlde wor?

The majority of earthquake epicenters occur along tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. Volcanoes are also typically found along these boundaries; however, they can also occur in hotspot regions like Hawaii. Both earthquakes and volcanoes are related to tectonic activity and the movement of Earth's crustal plates.


Is a 10.0 earthquake possible in the near future?

While it is theoretically possible for a 10.0 earthquake to occur in the future, the likelihood of such a powerful earthquake happening in the near future is extremely low. Earthquakes of that magnitude are very rare and typically occur over longer time periods.


Do waves occur before or after an earthquake?

waves occur all the time but after an earthquake tidal waves occur. Tidal waves are the cause of the tectonic plates colliding underwater. After the collision over time the wave goes form a small bump in the water to growing bigger and bigger into giant super wave capable of destroying towns.


Where was the epicenter for the earthquake in Honshu?

The epicenter of the Honshu earthquake was offshore, near the east coast of the island, close to areas like Fukushima and Miyagi prefectures.


How long before an earthquake do foreshocks occur?

Foreshocks can occur hours, days, or even weeks before a larger earthquake, but there is no definitive timeline. Foreshocks are smaller earthquakes that precede a larger mainshock, and their occurrence can vary depending on the specific earthquake event.
