What else can I help you with?
Why do Earthquakes do not occur in the asthenosphere because this layer of earth is too?
The asthenosphere is too plastic, so it cannot build up stress like the lithosphere can.
What spheres of the Earth is most directly affected by earthquakes and volcanoes?
The lithosphere is most directly affected by earthquakes and volcanoes. Earthquakes occur when there is movement along faults in the lithosphere, while volcanoes are associated with the release of molten rock, or magma, through the lithosphere to the surface.
What sphere do earthquakes happen in?
Earthquakes occur within the lithosphere, which is the rigid outer part of the Earth that includes the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The lithosphere is divided into several tectonic plates that move and interact with one another, leading to the occurrence of earthquakes.
The outer most layer of the earth where earthquakes occur?
This is known as the Lithosphere.
Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
Why do Earthquakes do not occur in the asthenosphere because this layer of earth is too?
The asthenosphere is too plastic, so it cannot build up stress like the lithosphere can.
Where do you find earthquakes?
Earthquakes occur in the lithosphere, which is the crust and solid brittle portion of the upper mantle. The lithosphere is broken into several pieces known as tectonic plates. Earthquakes most commonly occur at or near the boundaries between these plates.

Where in the world do earthquakes occur and why?
They can happen ANYWHERE and ANY TIME However they tend to be concentrated at the boundaries of tectonic plates as this is where the greatest pressure / stress develops within the earth's lithosphere.
Why when and where do earthquakes strike?
It is when two plates in the earth because of the release of stress or tension in the earth's lithosphere.
The outer most layer of the earth where earthquakes occur?
This is known as the Lithosphere.
Stress in Earth's crust leads to movement and changes in Earth's lithosphere that result in?
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
What are vibrations that occur when rocks break due to stress called?
Earthquakes
Earthquakes generally occur at plate boundaries where?
stress on rocks is greatest
