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.

Absolute age examines the position of rocks in a sequence. true or false?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
No, this is statement is false!

An absolute age is not dependent on anything - it's the age in "years" not "older than" or "younger than".

The position of rocks is more inherent to the relative age of the rocks- relative to the other layers of the rocks.
