Do most earthquakes occur on fault lines?
Most earthquakes do occur on fault lines.
Why do earthquake are always near fault?
Earthquakes occur near fault lines because they happen when two plates slide into each other. Fault lines run over the space between tectonic plates are resting.
Which plate boundaries and movements most commonly create earthquakes?
The tectonic plates and the fault lines create movements that most commonly create earthquakes. Earthquakes occur along the fault lines, causing the tectonic plates to shift.
What is the difference between depositional contact and fault contact?
depositional contacts occur between rocks that formed when sediments were deposited on other sediments.fault contacts are usually shown as thick black lines on geologic maps
What is the term for the place where slippage first occurs in an earthquake?
This is at the fault lines. This is were the most damage is going to occur during the earthquake.

Why earthquakes and volcanoes usually occur in the same part of the world?
because the fault lines when they move it causes the vocanoes to start erupting.

along fault lines
Where is the location where earthquakes be likely to occur?

Where do most earthquake occur in California?
Earthquakes can occur almost anywhere in southern California, but are usually located in areas on major fault lines.
Where do a lot of earthquakes occur?
Most earthquakes occur on active fault lines such as the San Andreas fault in California. Most fault lines are under water but some come above water, such as the San Andreas fault in San Francisco and the fault line in Iceland. The San Andreas fault caused the great fire in San Francisco.
