I believe there is evidence that they tend to occur in a given location when that location is under greatest tidal stress. The point around which the earth and moon orbit is within the body of the earth, so that tidal stresses would be changing, and constantly following this rapidly moving point. This point is called the Center of Mass, or in some cases the Center of Gravity. It is also sometimes called the Barycenter.
What else can I help you with?
Earthquakes usually occur at what time of the day?
Earthquakes can occur at any time of the day or night, without specific patterns or preferred times. They are unpredictable events that are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface.
What type of earthquake occur in Hawaii?
Most earthquakes in Hawaii are caused by the movement of the Pacific Plate beneath the islands. These earthquakes are typically shallow and occur on fault lines in the Earth's crust. The seismic activity in Hawaii is predominantly due to volcanic activity and not tectonic plate movements.
What statements are true of earthquakes?
Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, usually along faults. They can cause shaking and ground movement, as well as potential damage to structures and infrastructure. Earthquakes can vary in magnitude and occur worldwide.
Do most earthquakes occur on land or water?
The most earthquakes are mostly occurs on land
Is divergent plate movement associated with the strongest earthquakes?
Although earthquakes can occur anywhere on the planet with little or no warning, the strongest earthquakes occur near the plate boundaries, as the plates converge (collide), diverge (move away from another)
Where do earthquakes usually occurr?
Earthquakes ussually occur near the tectonic plates which cover the earths surface.
What place do the earthquakes most occur?
They usually occur in places where two plates meet- faults.
Why do earthquakes usually occur plate boundaries?
Earthquakes are usually happen along the edges of the tectonic plates and are caused by the plates hitting together.
Does any one know any names of earthquakes?
Earthquakes are not given names. They are usually referred to by the area in which they occur
Do earthquakes occur fast?
Yes, earthquakes happen suddenly and unexpectedly. They can occur in a matter of seconds or minutes, making them very difficult to predict accurately.
Why do most earthquakes occur only in isolated regions?
The west Pacific Ocean earthquakes usually occur along the joins in the continental plates which lie offshore in most cases.
What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
Why do scientists think that an earthquake will occur at the San Andrea's fault?
Because it is a fault and earthquakes usually occur near faults.
When do tsunamis typically occur?
tsunamis usually occurs after an earthquake specially under sea earthquakes.
Earthquakes usually occur at what time of the day?
Earthquakes can occur at any time of the day or night, without specific patterns or preferred times. They are unpredictable events that are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface.
Where is a earthquakes?
Earthquakes usually occur around faultlines or plate boundaries because that's where plates split apart a long time ago. When two plates collide they form earthquakes.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
