Are most earthquakes caused by folding?
Most earthquakes are not caused by folding they are actually caused by faulting a sudden movement of land caused by friction.
What are earthquakes related to?
Earthquakes are related to plate movements as it is caused by them.
What are explosion earthquakes?
earthquakes caused by a nuclear or chemical reaction
What are 2 causes of earthquake?
earthquakes can be caused by either tectonic or volcanic. Tectonic earthquakes are caused by movement of tectonic plates underneath the earth surface. Volcanic earthquakes are caused by volcanic activities underneath or above earth's surface.
What is the vibration caused when there is movement along a fault?
It causes and earthquake
How do changes caused by weathering and erosion compared to change caused by earthquakes?
Earth surface solwly over time
Are most earthquakes caused by folding?

What are Useful and Harmful Changes?
The changes talking place in our surroundings and which are useful to us are called Useful changes. The changes which are not useful but harmful are called Harmful changes

What are explosion earthquakes?
earthquakes caused by a nuclear or chemical reaction
How do changes caused by weathering and erosion compare to changes caused by earthquakes?
Weathering compare to plate tectonics by breaking down rocks and The scientific theory of describing the large scale of motions kfor the lithosphere.
Are tsunamis caused by tidal waves?
no it is caused by earthquakes
What are faults caused by?
earthquakes
What are earthquakes caused by?
Tremors
What causes tsunami and earthquakes in Japan?
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.
Are earthquakes caused by wind?
No, earthquakes cannot be caused by the wind at all. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate boundaries, where the moving plates generate pressure. The pressure is released as an earthquake. Occasionally earthquakes may be caused by volcanoes, but this is simply another effect of moving tectonic plates. So the wind has no influence whatsoever on earthquakes or seismic activity.
Why is an earthquakes risk map useful?
They're not.
