Why do so many earthquakes occur along plate boundaries

Geography
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago
3 0

Usually, the rock is moving along large cracks in Earth's crust called faults. Most earthquakes happen at or near the boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates because that's where there is usually a large concentration of faults. ... Movement along those faults can cause earthquakes too. Also, Earthquakes happen when rock below the Earth's surface move. Causing the Earth's surface to crack the closer you are to the plate boundaries the more pressure you get do too more force which is an earthquake.

The world population changed relatively little between the years 1200 and 1400. Which of the following statements about this tim
IRINA_888 [86]
C

Given that the World population changed little between this time, we can gather than the birth and death rates were similar, since they seem to cancel each other out from 1200-1400. To clarify, think of this. If you add something to a total (think births to population), but take away the same number (think deaths from population) you end up with the same total as before. Because of this, A is the correct answer choice (The birth rate and death rate were about equal).

Magnetic patterns develop on the seafloor as basaltic lava erupts and cools, and ______.
BartSMP [9]

<u>Iron-rich minerals align with the Earth's magnetic field</u> as basaltic lava erupts, cools, and forms magnetic patterns on the seabed.

Lava is molten rock that emerges as a liquid from under the Earth's surface. The term "lava" is also used to describe the rock that is generated when molten lava cools and solidifies. Either the substance is exceedingly stiff and barely flows, or it might be incredibly fluid, flowing nearly like syrup. The viscosity of the lava increases with silica concentration.

Hawaiian terms pahoehoe and aa (or a'a) refer to flows that are often formed by mafic (ferromagnesian, dark-colored) lavas like basalt. Smooth, subtly undulating, or extensively hummocky surfaces define Pahoehoe lava flows. A thin, still-plastic crust is dragged and wrinkled into twisted rope-like folds and rolls by the flowing molten lava beneath it.
