What does an earthquake make the ground do?
An earthquake causes vibrations to move through the ground (in simple terms this makes the ground shake). If the earthquake is large and releases a lot of energy then the amplitude of the shaking (a bit like the height of a water wave) gets larger and so does the ability of the earthquake to cause damage.
Is the ossicle that transmits vibrations to the inner ear through the oval window?
what is the ossicle that transmit vibrations to the inner ear through the oval window
What are the vibrations in the earth caused by sudden energy release called?
Does it have anything to do with, Magnetised plumes being sucked out of the earths core? It`s a form of energy that happens when Plasma comes through a hole in Earths Magnetosphere, and enters through the North or South poles. Not saying it is. Just a guess.
How sound waves are transmitted through the the middle ear?

How do sound vibrations carried from the ear to the nerve cells?
Sound waves enter through the outer ear, then sound waves move through the ear canal. Next sound waves strike the eardrum, causing it to vibrate, then vibrations enter the middle ear. Then the hammer picks up the vibrations, then vibrations are passed to the anvil. Next the vibrations are transmitted to the stirrup, then a vibrating membrane transmits vibrations to the inner ear, and then vibrations are channeled into the cochlea. Then nerve cells detect vibrations and convert them to electrical impulses, then electrical impulses are transmitted to the brain. Then the brain interprets electrical impulses as sound.
Vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake?
It is a seismic wave.
What is vibrations that travel through earth carrying the energy released during and earthquake?
A specific type of mechanical wave known as a seismic wave.
What Vibrations that move through the ground carrying the energy released during an earthquake are called .?
These are known as seismic waves - of which there are 4 types; P-waves, S-waves and Love and Rayleigh waves.
What are the vibrations that move through the ground carrying the energy released during an earthquake called?
Seismic waves
What can happen to the Earth's surface when the vibrations from an earthquake travel through the crust?
hg
What is the last step of a earthquake?
the final step of an earhquake is tge energy takes the form of vibrations that move through earths crust

Is water the medium for earthquake waves?
No. Seismic waves travel through rock and sediment.Sea waves (tsunamis) are not generated by earthquake vibrations, but by the displacement of ocean water, which leads to the formation of waves when the crest reaches shallower water.
What are earthquake waves?
vibration that travels through earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake.
Do tiny vibrations carry sound through the air?
Vibrations through some medium ARE sound. Vibrations through the air are just one example. The air vibrates and when the vibrations hit human ear drums, they are heard.
What causes earthquakes and how do they affect us?
One simple answer involves a destructive plate boundary. When a destructive plate boundary slips, the resulting vibrations rush through the earths crust and you get an earthquake.
What is earthquake magnitude and how is it measured?
magnitudea measure of the amount of the energy released by earthquake . earthquake is measure through Ricthter scale that measure the magnitude of seismic waves that it has
