What causes an earthquake?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ElenaW [278]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes seismic waves to be released, causing the ground to shake.

Earthquakes are caused by movement in the tectonic plates(known as plate tectonics).

This usually happens in plate boundaries(where one plate meets another), due to the pressure that builds up as the plates try to move, since tectonic plates are constantly moving

AlladinOne [14]
The following choices are all extensive properties, meaning they do not change with the amount of the substance. Although, 3 of the properties, namely, density, solubility and thermal conductivity are temperature-dependent. Since the problem did not mention of heating, let's assume Kenya just used it directly for her meal. Among the choices, I think shape would change. Once you place it in the meal, you can no longer pinpoint the salt because it's shape has been changed.
