∙ 14y agoEarthquakes will occur on fault lines in the Earth's crust. When the plates of the Earth's crust shift, the gaps in between them shift as well and cause earthquakes.

On what basis were plate boundaries first established?
They were established so people could plot the locations of earthquakes
Where are earthquakes common?
On active fault lines...
How many seismic do you need to find an earthquakes epicenter?
3. With 2 you can get possible locations (where the 2 circles intersect). With the 3rd reading, that circle will intersect the other two circles at one of those 2 candidate locations. See the link for a description.http://www.geo.mtu.edu/UPSeis/locating.html
In what area of the world are Earthquakes most common?
Earthquakes are most common where plates of the crusts collide or separate and especially in the Pacific ring of fire. The pacific ring of fire is a chain of volcanoes and earthquakes along the edges of the Pacific ocean.
What does rock formation have to do with earthquakes?
Nothing. It all has to do with plate tectonics.They push up rock from the crust causing earthquakes. There are plates in places like California, which is why earthquakes are common.
What is the relationship between the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes with regard to faults?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are most common near the faults at plate boundaries.
What do the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes have in common?
They are both caused by the plates under the earth being unstable, therefore moving causing vibrations and the outcome is either volcanoes or earthquakes.
On what basis were plate boundaries first established?
They were established so people could plot the locations of earthquakes
Where in Canada do you think earthquakes are common?
I think in Vancouver earthquakes are common in Canada.
Do earthquakes occur under the sea?
Yes, it is quite common for earthquakes to occur under the sea. But they can also occur under the land. Any location on the Earth's surface (or close to the Earth's surface, to be more accurate) can have an earthquake, although of course, some locations are more prone to earthquakes than others.
What are some locations of earthquakes?
one main location of an earthquake isSanAndrea'sfault.
Are earthquakes common in Egypt?
no
Earthquakes are common in Afghanistan?
True
What location in a city is more likely to experience earthquakes?
The locations that are closest to the fault lines.
Where can you find a Pidove in Pokémon White?
It's common on Route 3. It can be found in other locations, but the easiest will be Route 3.
Are earthquakes common in south and central Asia?
Yes very common.
What place is most likely to have an earthquake?
California, Alaska and Japan are all locations that have frequent earthquakes.
