What waves from an earthquakes are known as these?
Mountains formed from the buildup of volcanic lava often take this shape
Which energy source is most available at the edge of the tectonic plates?
This would be geothermal energy. It's often associated with volcanic regions.
How often do large earthquakes happen along the San Andreas?
There are numerous earthquakes every day along the faultline, however many are weak and cause little or no damage.
What season do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes are not a seasonal phenomenon and so the time of year has no effect on the occurrence of earthquakes. As such, earthquakes can happen at any time of the year as they occur independent of weather and climate.
Why do you think streets are often flooded after an earthquake?
Broken water pipes would be the main reason. In some cases tsunamis follow earthquakes in costal regions as we have seen in Japan.
Can an earthquake happen during a volcano?
Something cannot happen during a volcano, as a volcano is a thing, not an event. However, earthquakes often do happen during volcanic eruptions. This is because of the often large amounts of magma moving underground, breaking rock around it.
Do volcanic eruptions cause earthquakes?
Not usually. Although earthquakes often occur before a volcanic eruption, they are not the cause. The earthquakes are the result of magma (molten rock) moving underground leading up to an eruption. A few volcanic eruptions are thought to have been triggered or initiated by earthquakes, but this is not the typical case.
What is the cause of earthquakes in volcanic regions?
Earthquakes are like a rubber band. They both have limits. If you strech a rubber band the farthest it can, it will eventually meet it's elastic limit or the point where it can strech its farthest. If you go any farther than its elastic limit the rubber band will break. This is an example of how earthquakes are formed.I'm not sure if a volcano can cause earthquake or an earthquake can cause an volcanic eruption or both. But earthquakes can cause volcanoes to erupt. There are many kinds of earthquakes some are big and destructive but most of them are small that we can't even feel. Small earthquakes are important now and then because if they don't happen often the stress and force build up and create a big earthquake. One cause of earthquake causes in volcanic regions can probably be the shaking of an earthquake can cause an eruption. Or the shaking ofa volcano can cause an earthquake.
Why are the people in Chile prepared for earthquakes?
Because earthquakes happen very often there.
What are waves from earthquakes are known as?
Mountains formed from the buildup of volcanic lava often take this shape
What waves from an earthquakes are known as these?

How often should large earthquakes happen?
Large earthquakes - scientists predict they should happen every 80 years.
Can earthquakes happen in Thailand?
Earthquakes happen everyday everywhere so yes thialand often has earth quakes.
Do earthquakes happen in Antarctica?
Yes, but not very often.
Do earthquakes often occur at at faults that are away from plate boundaries?
Yes, but not as often as earthquakes happen near plate boundaries
What often accompanies volcanic eruptions?
lava, earthquakes and ash! And lightning discharges near the volcano mouth.
Are there often earthquakes before volcanoes?
Earthquakes are a common precursor to Volcanic eruptions due to shifts in the planets crust caused by the shifting of magma underneath the earth.
