An earthquake is a shaking caused by the sudden movement of the earths crust?
True((;
A crack in the earths crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called a?
Fault.
What are earthquakes tsunamis and volcano caused by?
They are all caused by the Earths The Earths Tectonic PLates. e.g When there is a crack or fracture in a tectonic plate the pressure slowley builds up until it if released. This can cause tsunamis if the plate is underwater or an earthquake if it is not.
What is caused by the earths plate or crust?
Earth's plates or crust can cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges due to tectonic plate movements and interactions. Subduction zones can also lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
What causes winds to appear to turn on the earths surface?
This caused by the rotation of the earth and is called the coriolis effect.
What are the causes of inter-glacial periods?
Inter-glacial periods are caused by changes in Earth's orbit and tilt, which affect the amount and distribution of solar radiation reaching the planet's surface. These changes lead to shifts in climate patterns, including periods of warmer temperatures that characterize inter-glacial periods. Additionally, factors such as greenhouse gas concentrations and volcanic activity can also influence the onset and duration of inter-glacial periods.
Glacial periods are caused by?
progressive cooling of earths surface. earths heat balance could change as orbit alters.solar radiation fluctuations, periodic changes in earth tilt and orbit. loss of heat from earths surface through reduction of carbon dioxide content of atmosphere. volcanic eruptions, short term cooling of globe could increase effect if lots erupted over longer periods of time. volcanoes and climate, the little ice age 1645-1715.
Why were there periods of alternating glacial and warm condititons?
Periods of alternating glacial and warm conditions, known as ice ages, are caused by variations in Earth's orbit and tilt, which affect the amount of solar radiation reaching different parts of the planet. These changes lead to shifts in climate patterns, resulting in cycles of glacial advance and retreat over time. Other factors, such as atmospheric greenhouse gas levels and geological processes, also contribute to these variations.
What causes glacial groove?
Glacial grooves are caused by the ice picking up boulders and scraping them across the bedrock.
What caused the glacial grooves?
Glacial grooves were caused by the movement of rocks and debris embedded in the base of a glacier as it moved over bedrock. The pressure and abrasion from the rocks scraping against the bedrock created the grooves.
How was long island formed?
It was caused by deposition. Of glacial moraine.
What type of erosion is caused by moving masses of ice?
glacial
Which is caused by glacial erosion?
U-shaped valleys, cirques, and fjords are landforms caused by glacial erosion. Glaciers carve these features into the landscape as they move and shape the land over time.
What other hazard did the Chile earthquake cause?
Its caused a change in a earthly day by 12.79 microseconds. That's equivalent to the earths rotation changing by 13 inch's!
What are the three main types of erosion?
The 3 main types of glacial erosion are plucking, abrasion and freeze thaw.
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 waves caused by earths rotation?
no, they are caused by the moon, honestly
