What is active and inactive faults?
Active faults can generate earthquakes and represent sources of seismic energy. Inactive faults can no longer generate earthquakes but did so in the past. +++ They can, but really the earthquake is the effect of the movement on the fault, so not the defining mechanism. ' An active fault is one still moving (albeit usually in small, irregular steps over millions of years); an inactive fault is stable. If a new phase of tectonic stresses arrive, an inactive fault can be 're-activated', in many cases with the movement in the opposite direction. A fault is a fracture with displacement, and that movement is of the rock on one side of the fault-plane across the other.
How would a larger diameter candle would produce a larger flame?
The size of the wick dertermines how large the flame is.
Are the Earth's radiation wave larger than the suns?
Yes, they are longer. Longer wavelengths are lower energy.
Do moonquakes last longer or earthquakes?
Although quakes on the moon are much weaker (and rarer) than those on Earth, they can last for much longer. We live in far damper environment than is on the moon and the seismic vibrations of our earthquakes will eventually be calmed by the moisture in the atmosphere. While an earthquake typically lasts for just a few seconds (10-30 for most moderate earthquakes), moonquakes can last up to an hour.
Are hurricanes longer than tornadoes?
Tornadoes are both much larger than tornadoes and last much longer.
Why do longer faults usually produce larger earthquakes than short faults?
Longer faults have a larger area of rupture, which allows more accumulated stress to be released during an earthquake. Additionally, longer faults tend to involve greater amounts of energy release due to the larger fault surface area, resulting in larger earthquakes.
Why do longer faults usually produce longer earthquakes than short faults?
Because it is stronger!
Are longer earthquakes more powerful?
yes it is

Does large force always produce a larger impulse on an object than a smaller force does?
Not necessarily. Impulse depends on both the force applied and the time over which it acts. A smaller force acting for a longer time can produce the same impulse as a larger force acting for a shorter time.
What is the difference between the sizes of battery - AAA AA C D?
The larger batteries are able to produce more current, and will last longer before they die.
Why do an alligator live longer than a crocodile?
alligators live longer because they are larger and longer and has a larger part of everything than a crocodile

Where is the Lighthouse of Alexandra?
It is no longer in existence, destroyed by earthquakes but was situated on the island of Pharos
What is is larger an act or scene?
an act is longer
Is centisecond or millisecond larger?
centisecond is longer
