When the plates of stone or brick are pushing against each other for a moment they dont move. After a while the pressure between the bricks become to strong and there is a sudden jolt. This sudden jolt releases a large amount of energy that creates a large amount of destruction.
The miss placement of soil is also very destructive to buildings, such as Haiti Earthquake.

Which type of plate boundary is responsible for the most powerful earthquakes?
Subduction zone plate boundaries are responsible for the most powerful earthquakes because of the immense pressure and stress that builds up as one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. These earthquakes can reach very high magnitudes, such as the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake which had a magnitude of 9.1-9.3.
How Powerful can earthquakes be?
Earthquakes can vary in magnitude, with the most powerful ones reaching magnitudes of 9.0 or higher on the Richter scale. These megaquakes can release an incredible amount of energy, causing widespread destruction and devastating consequences for the impacted regions.
What plate boundaries experience the deepest earthquakes?
Subduction zones have the deepest earthquakes.
The deepest earthquakes tend to occur at?
subduction zones, where tectonic plates collide or slide past each other. Subduction zones are characterized by deep-seated forces that generate powerful earthquakes deep within the Earth's crust. These deep earthquakes can reach depths of 700 kilometers or more.
What plate boundaries have the largest magnitude earthquakes?
The plate boundaries that have the largest magnitude earthquakes are convergent plates. Convergent plates are moving together and eventually collide. These plates are usually along the edge of an ocean and next to a continent.
Are longer earthquakes more powerful?
yes it is
Is god powerful enough to stop earthquakes?
Earthquakes have occured in many parts of the world, with inhabitants of many religions. Recently there was one in L'Aquila in Italy, bastion of the Roman Catholic religion. If God (please note capital, as far as Christians are concerned) is powerful enough to stop earthquakes, it seems that he seldom exerts himself to do so.

Statment between the magnitude of a earthquake and how often earthquakes of the magnitude occur?
One statement you could write is that "Earthquakes of higher magnitudes are much rarer than those of lower magnitudes". The magnitude of earthquakes is a logarithmic scale, so a magnitude of 8 is TEN TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 7. This is why earthquakes of higher magnitudes are so much rarer than those of lower magnitudes.
Where and when was the most earthquakes?
the most powerful earthquake was on may the 22nd 1960 in chille
Do earthquakes occur in Indonesia yes or no?
Yes. Indonesia is in a very earthquake prone zone. In 2004 it had one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded.
Which type of plate boundary is responsible for the most powerful earthquakes?
Subduction zone plate boundaries are responsible for the most powerful earthquakes because of the immense pressure and stress that builds up as one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. These earthquakes can reach very high magnitudes, such as the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake which had a magnitude of 9.1-9.3.
Was poeseidon persumed dangerous?
As he was considered the god of the seas and earthquakes, he was percieved (seen) as powerful and dangerous.
Which is the most powerful EarthquakeVolcanoBlizzardHurricaneTornadoPlague or Sandstorm?
In terms of energy released a large earthquakes is the strongest of those.
What instrument used to record eartquake?
A Richter Scale is used to measure Earthquakes and the power of earthquakes. The number used is ten times greater in force than the one before it, so a 7.0 Earthquake is ten times more powerful than a 6.0, for example.
How Powerful can earthquakes be?
Earthquakes can vary in magnitude, with the most powerful ones reaching magnitudes of 9.0 or higher on the Richter scale. These megaquakes can release an incredible amount of energy, causing widespread destruction and devastating consequences for the impacted regions.
Do they have earthquakes in Tokyo?
Yes there was an earthquake in japan but if u r asking about the one that happened recently then of course and the earthquake was so powerful it almost caused a tsunami on the coast of Oregon and California but there has been plenty of earthquakes in Japan, so I'm not sure why you would ask that.
