What earth event creates seismic waves?
earthquakes create seismic waves.
Can you use seismic in a sentence?
An earthquake could also be called a seismic event.
Why is Japan called a seismic archipelago?
An archipelago is a cluster/group of islands (which Japan is). Seismic waves are the waves caused by movements of the Earth's plates, in other words, they are earthquakes. Japan is notorious/ well- known for the amount of earthquakes it has. This is why its called a seismic archipelago.
How do you differentiate a reflection event from refraction event in a seismic record?
refraction event is a stright line and reflection is a hyperbolic event
How likely is it for Kansas to experience an earthquake?
Unlikely to experience a major seismic event
What natural event causes seismic waves to travel through the Earth?
Earthquakes
What is the difference between a likely event and an unlikely event?
It is more LIKELY to have a likely event than a UNLIKELY event.
What is the difference between a likely event and unlikely event?
A likely event, mathematically, is more then 50% likely to happen. An unlikely event is less then 50% likely to happen.
What is the difference between a likely event and a likely event?
the same
What does the term probability mean?
It is a measure of how likely it is that a specific event will occur.It is a measure of how likely it is that a specific event will occur.It is a measure of how likely it is that a specific event will occur.It is a measure of how likely it is that a specific event will occur.
How do you figure out the distance of an epicenter?
The distance of an epicenter from a seismograph station can determined by the time it takes for the seismic waves to reach each station. You need at least 3 seismic stations to record the event to determine this. The time taken for each seismic station to resisted the event will be different as they are different distances from the epicenter. The distance to the epicenter can then be calculated for each station and a epicenter can be determined by a triangulation from all stations that have registered the event.
Which country has the most earthqaukes?
japan, japan has a very advanced and sensitive seismic area and can record alot of earthquakes, but indonisia has had more in total
