Question

What are the causes of an earthquake?​

Answer 1

Answer:

An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. ... When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel. In California there are two plates - the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.

Answer 2

An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault.When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel. In California there are two plates - the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.

Earthquakes are caused due to sudden tectonic movements in the earth's crust. When the tectonic plates slide over one another, there is a cause of orogeny which results in earthquakes and volcanoes. These disturbances cause vibrations that spread in all directions.

Things that cause earthquakes-

• Groundwater extraction – decrease in pore pressure.
• Groundwater – increase in pore pressure.
• Heavy rain.
• Pore fluid flow.
• High CO2 pressure.
• Building dams.
• Earthquakes.
• No earthquakes (Seismic quiescence)
• Stress transfer
• Tides
• Silent slip
• Surface quarrying
• Typhoons
• Fracking
• Volcanoes
• Volcanic inflation
• Explosions
• Deep Pentarating bombs
• Deforestation
• Climate change
• Geothermal Energy
