What type of boundary has earthquakes transverse?
Transform boundaries have earthquakes that are transverse in nature. These boundaries occur when two tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other, causing friction and pressure to build up until it is released as an earthquake.
What did Aristotle believe causd earthquakes?
Aristotle didn't know the existence of earthquakes as there was no earthquake in the world at his time. However he would believe that they were cause by many people farting simultaneously if earthquakes existed back then.
When does a volcano eruption begin?
A volcanic eruption starts with the build up of pressure in the magma chamber. A bulge in the crater may indicate a impending eruption. Earthquakes may also precede an eruption.
What does pressure have to do with earthquakes?
The Earth's crust is a series of 'plates' moving on a molten surface. These plates slide against each other, and friction causes pressure to build up where the plates meet. Eventually, the pressure becomes so great that the plates 'snap' past each other. This releases the built-up pressure which we feel as tremors.
Does subduction cause earthquakes?
Yes, subduction can lead to earthquakes. When tectonic plates collide and one plate slides beneath the other, the stress and pressure from this movement can build up and eventually be released in the form of an earthquake. Subduction zones are known for producing some of the largest and most powerful earthquakes that have occurred on Earth.
Where do the earthquakes happen?
, Earthquakes occurs along fault lines, fault lines are where tectonic plates meet. There is a build up of pressure when the plates converge ( move in and hit each other). When the pressure is to great it is released in an earthquake. Hope this helps.
At what type of plate boundary do the strongest earthquakes occur?
The strongest earthquakes occur at convergent plate boundaries, where plates collide and one is forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. The resulting intense pressure and friction along the boundaries can lead to very powerful earthquakes.
What three inventions help build skyscrapers?
The electric elevator, water pressure, and steel.
What type of boundary has earthquakes transverse?
Transform boundaries have earthquakes that are transverse in nature. These boundaries occur when two tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other, causing friction and pressure to build up until it is released as an earthquake.
Why do earthquakes occur at volcanoes?
To release pressure.
What occurs when an earthquake happens?
Tectonic plates build up pressure and when the pressure gets to strong they collide. This causes the earth to rumble, which is an earthquake. Massive underwater earthquakes may cause tsunamis.
What are the forces in the earth that causes seismic waves to occur?
Tectonic plates build up stress between each other and suddenly release decades or even centuries of stress, causing earthquakes. Volcanoes that have lots of pressure built up can also cause earthquakes.
How are earthquakes eruptions different from volcanoes?
Earthquakes do not exactly erupt. Earthquakes are caused by the movement the Earth's tectonic plates. Yes, Earthquakes can contribute to the eruptions of Volcanoes because when one plate goes under the other water could be taken with it down into the Mantle. The water and sometimes air when is in the mantle is forced to find an exit and those exits are Volcanoes. When they go into the Volcano pressure builds up and the Volcano erupts. So really Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the Earths tectonic plates while Volcanoes are caused by a build up of pressure in the Earths Mantle.
What has new technology yielded?
it can help scientists detect movement and the build up of pressure along a fault.

How do triangle help in earthquakes?
Triangle structures a stable when it comes to earthquakes.
