Can an earthquake be caused by temperature?
Not by temperature variations at Earth's surface, no. However, temperature variations in Earth's mantle play a role in plate tectonics, and so can affect earthquake activity.
What is the point on earths surface where the seismic activity is strongest in an earthquake?
The vibrations of a earthquake are strongest where the falt line is.
What is a movement in the ground caused by a sudden release of energy under the Earth's crust?
A shift in the earth's crust to relieve pressure, and therefore release energy, is an earthquake.
What is the epicenter of an earthquake?
The epicentre of an earthquake is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the point within the Earth where the earthquake actually occurred (known as the focus or hypocentre). From this point on the surface the waves of the earthquake radiate outward like the ripples in a pond when a stone is thrown in.
What term names the location on the earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake?
The term that names the location on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the "epicenter." The epicenter is crucial for determining the impact of the earthquake and is often used in reports and assessments of seismic activity. It is located at the point on the surface that is nearest to the point where the earthquake originates underground.

When there is earthquake on the earth can airplane fly?
Yes, an earthquake cant affect the air flight
What are natural causes of an earthquake?
The movement of the earth's crust and the plate boundaries, cause seismic activity, which causes the earth to rumble, causing the feel of an 'earthquake'.
How can an earthquake effect the Earth?
an earthquake can affect the earth by making the earth less stronger and making it easier to let more lava come out the earth and destroying us all.
Did Japan earthquake affect ace of the earth?
If you mean the Axis of the Earth, yes it did. By 6 degrees.
The belts of earthquake activity follow closely the boundaries of what earth phenomenon?
movement of plate tectonics??
What is a movement in the ground caused by a sudden release of energy under the Earth's crust?
A shift in the earth's crust to relieve pressure, and therefore release energy, is an earthquake.
Which human activity doea not affect the earth system?
It is challenging to identify any human activity that does not affect the Earth system in some way. However, simple personal activities such as sleeping or sitting quietly may have minimal direct impact on the broader Earth system.
What are the studys of earthquakes?
Seismology.Someone who studies and researches earthquake activity and the mechanical properties of earth is called a Seismologist.
How does the Earth's curvature affect the line of sight between two distant points?
The Earth's curvature causes the line of sight between two distant points to be slightly curved, making them appear higher than they actually are. This can affect long-distance communication and navigation.
Sudden stress changes in the Earth that cause ground shaking they occur at fault lines and near volcanic activity?
This is known as an earthquake or as seismic activity.
