The parts of an earthquake are as follows:
First there are body waves, which are seismic waves that travel in the ground, originating from the focus, or the starting point of the earthquake.
Above the body waves, just under the earth's surface, travel the slower-moving surface waves. This is what shakes the ground violently and causes humans to feel the quake's intensity.
When the quake is over, aftershock occurs; a tremor or a small quake following a large one.
Finally, there may be a landslide.

∙ 9y agoThere are a number of features that are found in an earthquake. Some of the main features include movement of tectonic plates, collapse of buildings in some cases and shaking of the ground among others.

Destructive: Oceanic plate move the continental plate by going under - causing earthquakes and in areas a thing crust of volcano.
Conserative: When plates rub side to side they cause friction.
Constructive: When lava is pushed up from the seabed by separating plates, when this regulareley occurs and the set lava pushes out of the sea an island is created!

What are the two types of earthquake scales?
There are two types of earthquake scales. These types of scales include the Richter scale, as well as the seismic scale.
What are the two kids of earthquakes?
There are three forms of earthquakes which are the convergent boundary, divergent boundary, and the transform fault. The earthquake waves may be in P-waves (primary) and in S-waves (secondary).

How does the earthquake process?
because of the two plates crushing together, it forms earthquake
The earthquake is where?
A Earthquake is located where the two plates (a plate boundary) meet and there is to much pressure building up and that is how and where a earthquake is and how it happens.
