What else can I help you with?
When one tectonic plate slides on one another?
earthquake
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.
When one plate moves under another this can cause?
it could cause an earthquake and a tsunami. or a volcano to be formed
What plates was involved in the japan earthquake?
thee ceramic plate, and the metal plate :)
Was the 2011 Japan earthquake a transform earthquake?
No, the 2011 Japan earthquake was a megathrust earthquake, specifically a subduction zone earthquake. It occurred along the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, where the Pacific Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate.
Where does a earthquake start?
Where a tectonic plate slides past another.
When one tectonic plate slides on one another?
earthquake
When an oceanic plate moves under another plate the bending of the sinking plate creates a?
this is a destructive plate boundary. An earthquake and a vocano is created
When a continental plates collide with another continental plate what it is caused?
Earthquake
The collision of one ccontinental plate with another may produce?
An earthquake or if at sea a tsunami.
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 formed when plate slides against another plate?
well it's simple: an earthquake that can kill and destroy cars, trees, and buildings and they can cause tsunamies
Does tectonic plate size effect earthquake magnitude?
Tectonic plate size does affect earthquake magnitude. Earthquakes happen when one plate slides above/below another plate, to do this it takes massive amounts of convection energy from the mantle to move the plate above. The larger the mass of the plate, the more energy is needed to move it which means that large plates have a lot of stored up energy in them before the quake in question. When the energy is released the plate boundary snaps releasing all the built up energy. As there was so much energy stored in the plate the more is released, causing a larger, more devastating earthquake.
When one plate moves under another this can cause?
it could cause an earthquake and a tsunami. or a volcano to be formed
What caused the Kashmir earthquake?
The Kashmiri Earthquake was affected by the destructive tectonic plate boundaries. Eurasian and Indian plate hitting each other. That's what caused the Himalayas. Once, they hit an earthquake occurs. actually it ocurs not as soon as it hits but after hundreds and thusands of years after the presure builds up enough
