Earthquake activity may cease in a region when the accumulated stress along geological fault lines is released, typically during a significant earthquake, leading to a period of relative stability. Additionally, tectonic plate movements may stabilize, reducing friction and pressure along faults. Human intervention, such as the injection or extraction of fluids in the subsurface, can also alter stress distributions and potentially reduce seismic activity. Finally, the natural decay of stress over time in a fault zone can contribute to a decrease in earthquakes.
What else can I help you with?
What would be the least likely result of a earthquake a fire or a thunderstorm?
A thunderstorm would never result from an earthquake. Earthquakes can cause fires by breaking gas lines and electrical wires, but there is no mechanism by which an earthquake could cause a thunderstorm.
What kind of damage can a 0.7 earthquake cause?
None at all. A magnitude 0.7 earthquake would be an instrumental earthquake, meaning it can be picked up on seismometers, but otherwise is not noticeable.
Would an earthquake be considered a natural hazard where there are no people?
Earthquakes usually cannot knock over trees, even if they would level buildings. In a natural area, the worst an earthquake would cause is a landslide. The exception would be an underwater earthquake that caused a tsunami, because tsunamis can cause a lot of damage, even in the wild.
If there was an earthquake in Mars would they call it a Mars-quake?
Yes because in Earth an earthquake is called an earthquake but in mars it will be called a Mars-quake or even in any other planets.
How much damage would a 9.1 earthquake do?
It would depend on where is happened. In an unpopullated area, the damage would be minimal. In a populated area like the case of the recent Japan earthquake, they had almost total devastation with a 9. Earthquake.
Would sex help in a survival situation?
It is possible. During intercourse, warmth would be provided, but I would not recommend it because this activity will cause you to lose precious energy needed for a survival situation if indeed you are in jepardy
Would a large earthquake cause more damage than a small earthquake?
yes
Where would an earthquake epicenter be in this diagram apex?
An earthquake epicenter would be located at the point directly above the focus or hypocenter where the earthquake originates. It would typically be at the surface of the Earth directly above the seismic activity.
What situation would create high waves in the ocean?
Earthquake or Strong Winds
Is it true that an intensity- XII earthquake would cause a little destruction?
No, this earthquake is rated highest on the mercalli scale and thus would cause huge amounts of destruction
What would be the least likely result of a earthquake a fire or a thunderstorm?
A thunderstorm would never result from an earthquake. Earthquakes can cause fires by breaking gas lines and electrical wires, but there is no mechanism by which an earthquake could cause a thunderstorm.
What can sometimes happen when there is an earthquake under the sea?
this would cause a tsunami
What kind of damage can a 0.7 earthquake cause?
None at all. A magnitude 0.7 earthquake would be an instrumental earthquake, meaning it can be picked up on seismometers, but otherwise is not noticeable.
What would cause a major earthquake in B.C.?
plate movement and plate tectonics
Would an earthquake be considered a natural hazard where there are no people?
Earthquakes usually cannot knock over trees, even if they would level buildings. In a natural area, the worst an earthquake would cause is a landslide. The exception would be an underwater earthquake that caused a tsunami, because tsunamis can cause a lot of damage, even in the wild.
An earthquake that was rated 3 on the Richter scale would be?
An earthquake that was rated 3 on the Richter scale would beignored
Why did the Christchurch earthquake cause more damage than the Canterbury earthquake?
if i were you i wouldn't be looking up this i would probably looking up for FUN ___ ___ ___
