What is an earthquake and situations that earthquakes occur?
An earthquake is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, it is caused by movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.
What are faults caused by?
earthquakes
What are tornadoes hurricanes tsunamis earthquakes?
Tornadoes are violent rotating columns of air that form during severe thunderstorms. Hurricanes are large storms that form over warm ocean waters and have strong winds and heavy rain. Tsunamis are powerful ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Earthquakes are sudden, rapid shaking of the ground caused by the shifting of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface.
Are all earthquakes caused by fault lines?
No, some earthquakes are caused by elephants. *Laughs* Being serious, Earthquakes are caused by built up energy under the earth. The energy is usually released along the fault lines, but can sometimes be felt away from those fault lines.
What is tsunamis caused by under waters?
Earthquakes.
What caused the great valley?
Geologists think that the Great Rift Valley was caused by violent underground forces. Perhaps underground earthquakes and plate movement.

Use of seismograph?
Seismographs are used to measure earthquakes, and how violent they are.
Are tsunamis caused by tidal waves?
no it is caused by earthquakes
What are faults caused by?
earthquakes
What are earthquakes caused by?
Tremors
Are earthquakes caused by wind?
No, earthquakes cannot be caused by the wind at all. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate boundaries, where the moving plates generate pressure. The pressure is released as an earthquake. Occasionally earthquakes may be caused by volcanoes, but this is simply another effect of moving tectonic plates. So the wind has no influence whatsoever on earthquakes or seismic activity.
What causes tsunami and earthquakes in Japan?
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.
Are fault lines caused by earthquakes?
No, fault lines cause earthquakes
What is most of earths major earthquakes caused by?
Earths Major Earthquakes are caused by faulting of rock in earth's crust.Hope this helps

Are most earthquakes caused by folding?
No, most earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy along faults in the Earth's crust, not by folding. Folding is a slow process of deformation in the Earth's crust, while earthquakes are the result of rapid movement along faults.
