What is seismic shaking-?
"Seismic" refers to an earthquake, so seismic shaking is the shaking motion of the earth (and things on it) caused by an earthquake. There are different waves that emanate from the hypocenter, or point of origin.
What does it mean when your shaking?
There is an earthquake
Is it safer to be near the epicenter of an earthquake?
You do not want to be near the epicenter of an earthquake!Since the epicenter is the point on the earth's surface that is directly above the focus, or starting point, of the earthquake, it usually suffers the strongest shaking and the most severe damage.
Who would feel the ground shaking first in an earthquake?
i depends where the earthquake is.
The amount of shaking produced by an earthquake at a given location is called the?
The amount of shaking produced by an earthquake at a given location is called the intensity. It is measured on the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, which quantifies the level of shaking experienced by people and structures during an earthquake.
When an earthquake occurs is shaking greater?
Yes, shaking is a primary characteristic of earthquakes
What the difference an earthquake and epicenter?
An earthquake is the shaking of the ground caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, usually due to the movement of tectonic plates. The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where the earthquake's energy release originates, typically underground along a fault line.
During an earthquake the most violent shaking occurs at what location?
The most violent shaking during an earthquake typically occurs closest to the earthquake's epicenter, where the seismic waves are strongest. As you move further away from the epicenter, the shaking intensity decreases.
Where does the most violent shaking occur at during an earthquake?
At the epicentre which, is the central point from which it originates.
How do you know when the earthquake starts?
You can feel the ground shaking, objects shaking or rattling, hear a rumbling noise, or see items swaying. These are common signs that an earthquake has started.
What is the behavior of an earthquake?
shaking ground and cracking
What is used to record the shaking of a earthquake?
Seismograph.
