How does a strike slip fault lead to an earthquake?
An earthquake occurs deep in the earths crust caused by the displacement of two faults in the crust. Directly above the fault on the earths surface is called the epicenter. Which shows the aftermath of the strike slip fault that occured in the earths crust. So the strike slip fault is the effect of the displacement of the crust at that point deep in the earths crust which causes an earthquake to happen whenever there is a displacement of two faults.
In Greenland how tsunami created without earthquake?
Without an earthquake tsunamis can still form. They can come from an underwater landslide a submarine volcanic eruption, or a meteor strike in the ocean.
What are seismoscopes used for?
A seismoscope is an instrument used to measure vibrations of the earth's crust. Generally, scientists use these readings to predict when an earthquake will strike. They can also use this to measure the length and magnitude of an earthquake.
What are the identified earthquake generators in Philippine archipelago?
Seismic generators have been set in the Philippine Archipelago. This has been done in order to predict the approximate time that an earthquake may strike.
How can communities prepare for earthquakes and volcanoes?
