What is a mega earthquake?
A mega earthquake is an extremely powerful earthquake, typically with a magnitude of 9.0 or higher on the Richter scale. These rare but catastrophic events can cause widespread destruction, tsunamis, and loss of life in the affected area.
The surface of the earth moves violently in an what?
The surface of the earth moves violently in an earthquake. This occurs when there is a sudden release of energy in the earths crust. Anything from a volcano to a tectonic plate shift can cause an earthquake.
What cause did an earthquake make?
An earthquake is caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, typically due to the movement of tectonic plates along faults. This movement creates seismic waves that can result in the shaking of the ground, damaging structures and causing destruction.
What are earthquakes tsunamis and volcano caused by?
They are all caused by the Earths The Earths Tectonic PLates. e.g When there is a crack or fracture in a tectonic plate the pressure slowley builds up until it if released. This can cause tsunamis if the plate is underwater or an earthquake if it is not.
What doesn't cause an earthquake?
Drinking a chocolate banana milkshake does not cause an earthquake.
How can an earthquake change the earths surface?
it can rapidly cause a landslide to occur
What part of earths interior is inferred to have convection that cause tectonic plates to move?
the asthenosphere
How do earthqukes form?
The earths crust is split into large pieces called plates. When they move they cause a earthquake.
Is it possible for all the earths tectonic plates to cause one big earthquake?
Yes, but it is highly unlikely.
What is a mega earthquake?
A mega earthquake is an extremely powerful earthquake, typically with a magnitude of 9.0 or higher on the Richter scale. These rare but catastrophic events can cause widespread destruction, tsunamis, and loss of life in the affected area.
Where does the point in the earths interior where the energy of an earthquake occurs?
The point underground where the energy is released (causing the earthquake) is the focus point. This area is the actual origin of the earthquake. It should not be confused with the epicenter, which is the point above ground where the earthquake originates.
Did god cause the tsunami in japan?
The earthquake caused the tsunami in Japan. And plate tectonics - which have been going on under the earths surface since the earth formed - caused the earthquake.
The surface of the earth moves violently in an what?
The surface of the earth moves violently in an earthquake. This occurs when there is a sudden release of energy in the earths crust. Anything from a volcano to a tectonic plate shift can cause an earthquake.
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.
What happens when vibrations caused by the plates of earths crust colliding with each other?
Well it would cause an earthquake and sometimes a volcano to erupt
What cause did an earthquake make?
An earthquake is caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, typically due to the movement of tectonic plates along faults. This movement creates seismic waves that can result in the shaking of the ground, damaging structures and causing destruction.
What type of scientist studies the earths insides?
Geologists study the Earth's interior. They also study the Earth's composition and all the processes that cause it to change.
