Movement occurs along fractures in rocks when <u>stress overcomes the strength of the rocks involved.</u>
Explanation:
The fracture that occurs in rocks is called a fault. The movement is due to more stress on the rocks that are of lesser strength.
Rocks are elastic in nature. Faults occur because of stress that builds up, causing deformations.When stress increases eventually, it overcomes the strength of the rocks and energy releases, resulting in earthquakes.
Tsunami occurs in oceans when rock bed shift underneath, causing huge waves.
Due to sudden breaks on the rocks under the earth, an explosion occurs that produces energy waves called the Seismic waves.
Mexico's temperate climate and unique culture attracts many visitors. Their cultural festivals, colonial cities, food and beverages(e.g.tacos), nature reserves and beach resorts win scores of tourists every year.
Earthquakes became by movement in tectonic plate majorly at ring of fire that is the primary driver of earthquakes in Japan, where many earthquakes occur.
The fact that Japan is an island nation with a large coastline is also vulnerable to tsunamis and most of the Japanese population lives close to the coast due to the mountainous interior of the country.
A very notable damage was done in Sendai that is the big city that was the epicenter of the earthquake. An earthquake in Sendai destroyed homes and other buildings.
The tide has flooded inland, damaged cars, ships and additional homes and businesses.
