What else can I help you with?
A crack in the earths crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called a?
Fault.
What are the vibrations in the earth caused by sudden energy release called?
Does it have anything to do with, Magnetised plumes being sucked out of the earths core? It`s a form of energy that happens when Plasma comes through a hole in Earths Magnetosphere, and enters through the North or South poles. Not saying it is. Just a guess.
What plate movements happened during Kobe's earthquake?
The Kobe earthquake in 1995 was caused by the movement of the Eurasian Plate being subducted beneath the Philippine Sea Plate along the Nankai Trough. This movement resulted in the sudden release of energy that led to the earthquake.
What is compression in plate tectonics?
it is the movement of the earths crust. it moves inwards towards other plates so the earths crust moves upwards therefore forming mountains, volcanoes etc
Why is a tsunami a secondary effect of plate movement?
A tsunami is a secondary effect of plate movement because it is often triggered by the displacement of water due to an underwater earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide caused by tectonic plate movement. The sudden movement of the earth's crust can displace a large volume of water, creating powerful and destructive waves that propagate across the ocean.
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
What is the main cause of earthquake's?
The main cause of earthquakes is when there is a sudden movement of various plate boundaries or when plates scrape against each other. Some earthquakes are also caused from old plate boundaries or faults. Many earthquakes happen at faults, such as the San Andreas Fault in California.
What is tactonic plates?
PLATE TECTONICS is the study of the movement of the earths continental plates
A crack in the earths crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called a?
Fault.
What is the theory that describes large-scale movement of earths lithosphere?
plate tectonics :)
Why do earthquake happen in philippine's?
The same as the reason that it happens anywhere... Movement of the earth's crusts along the plate margins otherwise known as plate tectonics causes up heaving & instability in land/ocean masses. Plate Tectonics is the movement of the earths crust. The earths plates are constantly moving and often they get into a traffic jam. As plates move in different directions, pressure builds up over time. When the pressure overcomes the tendency of the plates to press together, there is a sudden shift resulting in an earthquake. This sudden release of energy creates seismic waves. == == During an earthquake poorly designed structures can collapse and cause a lot of damage. the ground shakes and cracks in the earth begin to form.
Does an earthquake mean there is a movement in the earths crust?
Yes, an earthquake is caused by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. The build-up of stress along plate boundaries leads to sudden release of energy in the form of seismic waves, causing the ground to shake.
What is directly linked to heat convection within earths interior?
Tectonic Plate Movement
How and why did the Italian earthquake occur?
The Italian earth quake was most probably caused by the movement of the Eurasian and African tectonic plates. Convection currents in the earths mantle cause these plates to move which in turn causes stresses at the plate boundaries. When these stresses are released the movement is very sudden. This is the movement said to be an earthquake.
What causes volcanoes to erupt under earths surface?
mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.
What ocean floor feature is formed by movement of earths plate?
what other ocean floor feature is fromed by movement of earth's plates
What are the causes of tsunami which was hit by japan?
The sudden movement of the Pacific tectonic plate under the North American plate caused a massive earthquake and a tsunami.
