Earthquakes are caused by vaults. (Cracks in the earth.) The 2 broken pieces have a reverse tug-of-war. They push against each other and either make a mountain or a depression. If these 2 pieces push against each other really hard, eventually, the energy releases and causes an earthquake with high magnitude.

How are mars quakes different than earthquakes?
Marsquakes are different from earthquakes because they occur on Mars, not on Earth. They are usually caused by stresses in the Martian crust due to cooling and contraction of the planet. The lack of tectonic plates on Mars also plays a role in the type and frequency of quakes compared to earthquakes on Earth.
What is the earth's biggest satellite that experiences quakes 3000 per year?
The moon is Earth's biggest satellite that experiences moonquakes, averaging about 3000 per year. These moonquakes are caused by tidal forces from Earth's gravity and the cooling and contraction of the moon's interior.
What are the main problems facing the planet today?
earth quakes tsunamis
Landslides are caused by the force of what?
Landslides are caused by liquefaction, which is the result of water being mixed with soft soil by the shaking of the earth during an earthquake. It can also cause instability in buildings and cause them to be more vulnerable to collapse during aftershocks or further quakes.
Is an earthquake caused by converging plates?
Many earthquakes are produced act converging plates. However a number of strong earthquakes also take place at transform boundaries where plates slide past one another, neither converging nor diverging. On rare occasions strong quakes will take place within a plate.
What are the negative effects of earth quakes?
buildings were damaged , peoples were trapped under the buildings , wealth of the country were lost and so many disadvantages were caused due to earth quakes
Why are Icelandic homes mostly made out of concrete?

What creates a powerful tsunami?
A powerful earthquake. Earth quakes are caused when the 'plates' of earth shift and one gets pushe under the other.
Is a volcanic eruption the same as an earthquake?
No, because earth quakes are caused by plates (tectonics, or something like that), but volcanos are not.
Where are earthquakes most likely to take place?
Earth quakes tend to take place where the edges of tectonic plates meet. There is no one specific place where earth quakes happen, but California does have a lot of earthquakes. Earth quakes are caused by two plate sliding over each other, colliding into each other or pulling away from each other.

What can cause flash floods?

Why do you have earth quick?
I suspect you misspelled your question and you were actually asking about earth quakes. They're caused by the moving of tectonic plates and all the moving hot masses underneath the Earth's crust.
If Mars had earthquakes would they be called marsquakes?
yes im doing a project on sun quakes, moon quakes, and mars quakes
