I've seen it throughout SE networks that many a timesometimes the answer to a given question gets much more votes than the question itself (Examples here, here and here).

Is there any reason in particular why this is so? If the answer is useful, why isn't the question that prompted it?

Note: I'm not necessarily speaking about those examples in specific, but the general trend of Q&A on the SE networks
