Small foreshocks that precede a major earthquake can occur
9.0 earthquake
Normal faulting, where the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall. Reverse faulting, where the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall. Strike-slip faulting, where horizontal movement occurs parallel to the fault plane.
An earthquake can occur at any temperature, as it is caused by tectonic plates shifting beneath the Earth's surface, not by the temperature of the air or ground.
Three mechanisms for crustal thickening are magmatic intrusion, sedimentation, and faulting.
EARTHQUAKES - the sudden, intense shift along already formed fault cause earthquake to occur -earthquake occur around plate boundary where plate movement occur in the form of faulting
when a trent is created
An earthquake
yes, they can
When the 2 plates strike and then slip. Or faulting.
The earthquake in Japan is a result of the Pacific Plate subducting under the North American Plate. The earthquake was caused by thrust faulting.
Yes. An earthquake may occur in the ocean.
Faulting of the Earth's layers occurs when stress builds up within the crust, leading to the rock breaking and sliding along a fault plane. This movement releases energy in the form of an earthquake. Faulting can happen due to tectonic plate movements, volcanic activity, or regional stress within the Earth's crust.
Aftershocks can occur hours or days after an earthquake.
A tsunami is an ocean wave that is caused by an earthquake. It would occur after an earthquake.
