What else can I help you with?
Where do the weakest earthquakes occur on?
The weakest earthquakes, measuring less than 2.0 on the Richter scale, can occur anywhere around the world. These earthquakes are generally not felt by people and are often only detected by seismographs.
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.
How often do earthquakes happen in Greece?
Greece experiences many earthquakes each year, ranging from small tremors to larger, more destructive ones. The frequency of earthquakes varies throughout different regions of the country.
Why are large earthquakes less common than small earthquakes?
because it takes lots of years for the stress to build up and the earthquake to be hugeNekoChibi-chan said: Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plates in the earth's crust. When 2 of the plates meet, they collide and slide, this causes movement in the ground. The plates don't shift very much very often (It takes a long time for them to push on each other to make the earth shake intensively). Places where earthquakes often happen are most likely on a tectonic plate. It is not uncommon to have under water eruptions or earthquake'.
Where do shallow-focus earthquakes occur?
Shallow-focus earthquakes occur within the upper 70 kilometers of the Earth's crust. These earthquakes are typically more destructive than deep-focus earthquakes because they are closer to the Earth's surface. Shallow-focus earthquakes are often associated with tectonic plate boundaries and faults.
Can earthquakes happen in Thailand?
Earthquakes happen everyday everywhere so yes thialand often has earth quakes.
Does Greece have earthquakes?
Yes. Greece had and has many earthquakes often.
What makes predicting earthquakes so hard?
Earthquakes is most often caused due to colliding of plates in the Earth's crust. As these plates are moving constantly it is not easy to know when they will collide. So it is difficult to predict earthquake.
Why are the people in Chile prepared for earthquakes?
Because earthquakes happen very often there.
Do earthquakes often occur at at faults that are away from plate boundaries?
Yes, but not as often as earthquakes happen near plate boundaries
How meteorologists forecast earthquakes?
Seismologists not meteorologists study earthquakes. Generally earthquakes can be predicted by measuring fore-quakes which often precede larger earthquakes.
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
Where do earthquakes hit most often?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are more common along tectonic plate boundaries.
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.
Do earthquakes happen in Antarctica?
Yes, but not very often.
How bad are earthquakes in Long Beach?
In Cally we don't get EarthQuakes that often but they can get pretty bad.From: webkinzandMCR on Youtube! :D
Are earthquakes always bad?
No. Many earthquakes have no impact. The majority of earthquakes are so minor that they can't even be felt.
