What force is causing so many earthquakes all over the world?


There were over 2,000 earthquakes just last year all over the world. What is causeing it? Is it the moons gravatation or underground nuclear testing? What do you think is causing all the earthquakes?

Several have answered. When one plate wants to move against an adjoining plate, friction resists this movement, pressure builds and eventually the force that forces the movement is no longer held in check by resistance.

Earthquake results. We have thousands each day in some areas but most are felt only by sensitive instruments. Obviously, the big ones get everybody's attention; they surely get mine.

SINKHOLES - What's Happening to the Earth? Oil Leak, Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Sinkholes WORLDWIDE

The catastrophes of earthquakes and volcanoes are devastating to humans?


yet they indicate a living and dynamic planet. How does plate tectonics help us predict where and when earthquakes will occur? Can we limit the devastation of earthquakes and volcanoes by knowing more about plate tectonics? Why does a seismic knowledge of the interior of the Earth help us on the surface? Should we initiate planning to avoid catastrophe-prone areas, or should we try to protect against those catastrophes as they occur?

1) Earthquakes are extremely common at plate boundaries. Knowing where these boundaries are gives us a better idea as to where to expect EQs

2) Yes and no. The more we know about plate tectonics the more we can learn about EQs. But EQs, though statistical in some ways, are still hard to predict.

3) Knowing the interior of the Earth helps us know how soon waves are going to end up in other places.

4) What hasn't been planned, plan and build away from prone areas. What has been planned and built needs protection and better warning systems.
