What is the ring of fire dng with volcanos?
The short answer for this is that many times volcanoes form along earth quake fault lines. This is not always the case though as they can form in the middle of earth's plates also. (earth quake fault lines are usually found on plate boundaries, where two plates meet)
Did quake and tsunami happen simultaneously?
No, an example of this is japan when the earthquake occurred in the middle of the ocean this sent tremors through the earth which caused waves to be sent out from the point of the quake, a tsunami is when the huge waves hit land, when these waves hit japan it was a tsunami
What shaking of the earth caused by the release of energy is a?
An earthquake is shaking of the earth caused by the release of energy from within the Earth's crust. It occurs when there is a sudden slip along a fault line, resulting in ground shaking and sometimes surface rupture.
What is a crack or opening of the earth's crust?
A crack or opening in the Earth's crust is known as a fault. Faults are caused by tectonic forces that create stress and movement along the plates, resulting in fractures in the Earth's crust. Movement along faults can cause earthquakes.
What are the weather conditions that causes the tsunamis?
Tsunamis are not weather related. They are caused by an underwater fault that moves the water. It has to be a strong quake to create a tsunami. The new movie San Andreas shows one wiping out San Francisco, but this could never really happen. The fault San Francisco sits on is a land fault and it could never create a tsunami.
Why dont earthquakes happen everywhere at once?
Earthquakes occur on fault lines, which aren't everywhere on Earth. The vibrations from any one quake actually propagate throughout MOST of the Earth's crust, but not with any damaging force.
Where did the Kobe earth quake happen?
In Kobe, Japan.
When did the christchurch earth quake happen?

Do earthquakes happen every where?
Thankfully no, though they can be TRACED from great distances by seismographs.. Quake activity is limited to areas of what is called a Seismic Fault- a crack in the Earth sensitive to quake vibrations. two familiar ones are the San Andreas and San Gabriel Faults both in California.
What are causes of earth quake?
earthquakes happen when really fat people fall over
Why is the earthquake in landers California so important to the study of faults and earthquakes?
because the earth quake was a 7.3 and it was a forward fault
How many earthquakes happen in NY in the year 2009?
There were no earth quake's in NY in the year 2009. Although there is a history of earth quake's in different year's there. See the related link to the history of Earth Quakes in New York.
How did the earthquake in Christ church happen?
The tectonic plate's rubbed together and then the earth quake apears .
When did Quake II happen?
Quake II happened in 1997.
When did Quake Live happen?
Quake Live happened in 2010.
What are the events that cause the Earth to quake and shake?
Earthquakes are mainly caused by the movement of tectonic plates along fault lines in the Earth's crust. This movement releases built-up stress, resulting in seismic waves that cause the ground to shake. Other triggers include volcanic activity, landslides, and human activities such as mining or reservoir-induced seismicity.
