How is most of the energy of an earthquake transported through the Earth's crust?
Most of the energy of an earthquake is transported through the Earth's crust in the form of seismic waves. These waves can be either body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the interior of the Earth, or surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface. The energy is gradually attenuated and dispersed as the waves propagate through the crust.

What is a movement in the ground caused by a sudden release of energy under the Earth's crust?
A shift in the earth's crust to relieve pressure, and therefore release energy, is an earthquake.
What is an example of a violent disturbance in the Earth's crust?
An earthquake is a violent disturbance in the Earth's crust.
What do you call the sudden movement of the Earth's crust?
The sudden movement of the earth's crust is called and earthquake
What are intense vibrations felt throughout Earth's crust during an earthquake called?
Intense vibrations felt throughout Earth's crust during an earthquake are called seismic waves. These waves are responsible for shaking and transmitting energy through the Earth's layers, leading to the ground motion experienced during an earthquake.
What is the effect of a sudden release of energy in earth's crust?
An earthquake, most likely
Is the shifting of earth's CRUST WITH THE RELEASE OF ENERGY A P wave?
no it's an earthquake.
Is the shifting of the earth's crust with the release of energy a p wave?
no it's an earthquake.
What medium is an earthquake?
An earthquake is a geological phenomenon that occurs when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, creating seismic waves. The medium through which these seismic waves travel is the Earth's crust and mantle, which are composed of solid and semi-solid rock. Additionally, these waves can also propagate through fluids, such as water or magma, depending on the location and nature of the earthquake.
What kind of energy does an earthquake deep underground release?
An earthquake deep underground releases seismic energy in the form of seismic waves. These waves carry energy from the point of the earthquake's origin (the focus) and cause the ground to shake as they propagate through the Earth's crust.
What moves outward from the source of an earthquake?
Seismic waves move outward from the source of an earthquake. These waves carry the energy released during the earthquake and can cause shaking and damage as they propagate through the Earth's crust.
