What else can I help you with?
Are earthquakes caused by violent stroms?
No, earthquakes are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. They are not directly related to violent storms, which are caused by atmospheric conditions.
Do scientists believe that continental drift is real?
Yes. They believe that the shifting of the tectonic plates under the earth caused it.
What is a large crack in the earth's surface caused by shifting tectonic plates?
A large crack in the Earth's surface caused by shifting tectonic plates is known as a fault. Faults occur when stress from tectonic movements exceeds the strength of rocks, leading to fractures. These geological features can result in earthquakes when the accumulated energy is released. Notable examples include the San Andreas Fault in California.
Can it rain during an earthquake?
No, rain is not caused by earthquakes. Rain occurs due to moisture in the atmosphere condensing and falling to the ground as precipitation. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface.
At which temperature will an earthquake occur?
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.
Are volcanoes and earthquakes manmade?
No. They are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates.
Was global warming caused by CFCs and a hole in the ozone layers?
Global warming was not originally caused by CFC's. However they are also a reason behind it.
What natural process caused the Los Angeles earthquake?
The shifting of tectonic plates causes earthquakes.
What caused the shifting earth?
Convection in the earth's mantle drives the movement of the tectonic plates.

What happens if an earthquake is under land?
Most earthquakes are under land. An earthquake is caused by tectonic plates shifting and/or colliding together.
Describe the two kinds of earthquake?
tectonic earthquakes- shifting and moving of crustal platesvolcanic earthquakes-earthquake caused by a volcanic activity/eruption
Can it rain during an earthquake?
No, rain is not caused by earthquakes. Rain occurs due to moisture in the atmosphere condensing and falling to the ground as precipitation. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface.
What is one thing that can cause a tsunami?
Most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes below the sea level. These undersea earthquakes are a result of shifting in the earths tectonic plates.
How does earthquakes originate?
how do earquakes originate. they are caused by tectonic plates shifting beneath the surface of the earth. the movement causes part of the surface to shake which we call earthquakes.
