What else can I help you with?
Can an earthquake destroy a continent?
No, an earthquake cannot destroy a continent. Earthquakes are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, and while they can cause significant damage locally, they do not have the capacity to destroy an entire continent.
What triggers the earthquake?
Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
What four things happen when plates move?
earthquakes volcanoes landslides and tsunami
What do shifting tectonic cause?
shifting tectonic plates cause continents to move a few inches every year. also, if the plates start rubbing against each other, they can cause severe earthquakes. plates hitting and pushing toward each other can form mountains or volcanoes.
Do you think that earthquakes happened million of years ago?
Sure, of course. Millions of years ago, tectonic plates were shifting just as they are today, and shifting tectonic plates can and do cause earthquakes, therefor earthquakes did occur millions of years ago.

Why do you have earthquakes in California?
because shifting of plates colliding together
Are volcanoes and earthquakes manmade?
No. They are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates.
What cause earthquakes tsunamis and landslides?
Shifting of Tectonic Plates.
Does earthquakes along line reflect the shifting of continental plates?
yes
What r the causes of earthquake?

Where and when do earthquakes occure?
Well earthquakes are unpredictable and cause because of shifting in plates places like California and Chili have lots of earthquakes because there on faltes.
