What else can I help you with?
Why do most earthquakes occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes occur near tectonic plates because as the plates shift, they move the ground causing an earthquake to occur. Most earthquakes happen there but you must keep in mind that the tectonic plates only move 4-6 centimeters every years.
What type of earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes?
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
What geologic events occur at transform boundries?
Earthquakes
Do Earthquakes occur only once or twice a year?
The frequency of earthquakes depends on the location. in Japan, earthquakes occur 3 times a month, and in the Sahara in Africa they occur once in five years..
Do earthquakes occur in groups?
no
Earthquakes can occur when the what of rocks is passed?
Earthquakes can occur when the stress limit of rocks is passed, causing them to break and release built-up energy in the form of seismic waves that shake the Earth's surface.
What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
What are two things geologists can't predict about earthquakes?
(i)Time frame within which it must occur. (ii)Location where after shocks are likely to occur.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Where must a mutation occur if it passed to offspring?
In the gametes (e.g. sperm or egg)
Why do most earthquakes occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes occur near tectonic plates because as the plates shift, they move the ground causing an earthquake to occur. Most earthquakes happen there but you must keep in mind that the tectonic plates only move 4-6 centimeters every years.
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Do earthquakes occur as earth's plates collide?
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur
What geologic events occur at transform boundries?
Earthquakes
What type of earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes?
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
What occur along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
Where on earth do earthquakes occur?
Most earthquakes occur at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates.
