When plates of earth's crust move and then rapidly release occur?
When plates of Earth's crust move and then suddenly release, it can result in an earthquake. The sudden release of built-up stress along plate boundaries causes vibrations in the Earth's crust, creating seismic waves that we feel as tremors. The severity of an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale based on the magnitude of these seismic waves.
Why does an earthquake make land move?
All earthquakes are caused by excessive pressure, tension, and stress on the tectonic plates (unbelievably massive parts of the ocean floor, about 8 major ones), which move and cause massive friction between the plates going all sorts of directions, especially up and down.
What happens to lithospheric plates when an earthquake occurs?
When an earthquake occurs, lithospheric plates either slide past each other, collide, or move apart along their boundaries. The stress accumulated along the plate boundaries is released suddenly, causing the plates to deform and generate seismic waves that we feel as an earthquake.
Why do earthquakes mostly happen along tectonic plates boundaries?
Earthquakes mostly happen along tectonic plate boundaries because these are where the plates interact and their movements cause stress to build up in the Earth's crust. When this stress is released suddenly, it causes the ground to shake, resulting in an earthquake. These boundaries are also where faults are more likely to occur, further increasing the likelihood of earthquakes.
What happens when two plates jerk into a new position?
When two plates jerk into a new position, it can result in an earthquake. The sudden movement along a fault line caused by the plates shifting can release a significant amount of energy, leading to seismic waves being generated and felt as vibrations on the Earth's surface.
How does the movement of earths plates cause earthquakes?
The plates rub together causing the rocks to move and it causes the ground to shake forming an earthquake. The more the plates move, the bigger the earthquake number.
How a earthquake forms?
well,there are plates under the earth.belive it or not, they move.but,if one goes off track,it causes the earth to move and makes an earthquake.
What is an earthquake and what causes earthquakes?
An earthquake is when the tectonic plates under the earth move in different directions causing the earth to shake. Everybody*"GROW WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED"
What do plates do when an earthquake happens?
They move
What is the point where the tectonic plates move causing an earthquake?
earthquake zone or in the boundry of tectonic plates
How did the napier earthquake occur?
usually an earthquake occurs because underneath the earths crust are tectonic plates and when they move occasionlly one will get caught but the outside is still moving and that causes an earthquake
What is the predicted?
The earthquake predictions depend on everyday life because the tectonic plates move a few micrometres each day. where two tectonic plates meet is called a convergent boundary and this causes an earthquake but look online and if you live in New Zealand by any chance the likelyhood of an earthquake is reasonably high. Adam.
How fast do the plates move in the relation to each other year?
The earth's plates move slowly because how big the earthquake is he bigger the amount the plates will move and the slower the earthquake is the less it moves.
How does a earthquakes place affect tsunamis?
when the techtonic plates move, they can make an earthquake, that then may trigger techtonic plates to move and begin waves that become a tsunami
About how fast do the plates move in relation to each others each year?
The earth's plates move slowly because how big the earthquake is he bigger the amount the plates will move and the slower the earthquake is the less it moves.
How fast do the plates move in relation to each other each year?

What are the result if tectonic plates move?
An earthquake.
