What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movements occur?
Earthquakes often occur along faults or breaks in Earth's crust where movements occur. These movements happen when stress builds up along the fault and is released suddenly, causing the rocks to break and generate seismic waves. Earthquakes can range in intensity depending on the magnitude of the movement along the fault.
Where are volcano and earthquakes likely to occur?
Between plate or along fault lines.
What is caused by sudden displacements along fault fissures in the solid and rigid layer of the earth?
Sudden displacements along fault fissures can cause tremors and earthquakes.
Why do earthquakes happen near fault lines?
because the tectonic plates are moving beneth the earths crust, colliding with each other. if someone live along one of these fault lines between the plates they would experience a large earthquake.
Why are some earthquakes small and some major?
Earthquakes vary in size due to differences in the amount of stress that builds up along fault lines and the type of fault movement that occurs. Small earthquakes result from minor slippage of rocks along a fault, while major earthquakes are caused by a sudden release of accumulated stress, resulting in significant movement along the fault line. The magnitude of an earthquake is determined by the amount of energy released during the fault movement.
What occur along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
What happens along a fault beneath earths surface when earthquakes happen?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
How do earthquakes navigate themselves?
Along fault lines
Where are earthquakes most coommon?
Along fault line.
What types of natural hazards occurs along the San Andreas Fault?

How many earthquakes occur along the San Andreas fault each year?
AnswerAccording to the USGS, the plates along the San Andrea fault move about 1.7in per year.

Why do earthquakes occur along the san anderas fault?
j
Where is the location where earthquakes be likely to occur?

What is the vibration caused when there is movement along a fault?
It causes and earthquake
How do geologists learn about how the block of rock along a fault move?
They map the earthquakes intensity and where the past earthquakes were.
