Why do you think certain regions are more prone to experience earthquakes?

2 answers:

6 0

Answer: Certain regions sit on top of or closer to faults in the earth. So as the plates shift places on top of and around it get earthquakes.

Answer:

Think of it like two wooden benches rubbing against each other. Extend this example to continental plates. The friction and sudden release of stored elastic energy leads to earthquakes.

but you hella cute...u tryna link?

Volcanically active places are also prone to earthquakes as the Hawaiian Islands are. This happens mostly due to the movement of superheated magma and gases moving under the crust in such places.

Places far from such tectonic settings are therefore much more stable and are seldom associated with earthquakes. But that does not necessarily mean they will never be associated with quakes sometime in the future. New faults may develop and change the scenario.

When magma solidifies underground, the resulting landform is classified as _______.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

1. When magma solidifies underground, the resulting landform is classified as Intrusive rocks.

2. Lava cooling on the surface of the earth forms Extrusive igneous rocks features.

3. A very large mineral is more likely to be found in Igneous rock.

4. Lava is magma that forms in long, horizontal shafts in the earth’s crust.

5. Lava with high basalt content forms high ferromagnetism through multiple eruptions.

Explanation:

1. Intrusive rock is formed when magma penetrates existing rock, crystallizes and solidifies underground to form intrusions. Intrusive rock forms within Earth's crust from the crystallization of magma.

2. Extrusive igneous rocks form when magma reaches the Earth's surface of a volcano and cools quickly. Most extrusive rocks have small crystals.

3. Igneous rock or magmatic rock, is one of the 3 main rock types. The other 2 are called sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

4. Lava is molten rock generated by geothermal energy and expelled through fractures in planetary crust or in an eruption, usually at temperatures from 1.292 to 2.192 °F.

5. Mafic or basaltic lavas are best known by their high ferromagnesian content.

Eruptions associated with basaltic lava usually are not explosive due to the low silica and gas content.

Because of the low viscosity, basaltic lava flows spread out, forming extensive layers. They may build up to form a large shield volcano.
