What is the point on earths surface where the seismic activity is strongest in an earthquake?
The vibrations of a earthquake are strongest where the falt line is.
What is a mega earthquake?
A mega earthquake is seismic activity below the earths crust that causes fluctuations in the earths tectonic plates. This forces the ground to shake and the earths crust to crack.
What cause did an earthquake make?
Well its from the earths plates under ground when one collapse the earths crust above starts rumbling witch causes a earthquake
When land masses on earths crust are moving what is it called?
earthquake
What is the intense heat beneath earths surface can be a source of?
radiation & gravity
What are the intense vibrations felt throughout earths crust during an earthquake?
Siesmac waves
What is the point on earths surface where the seismic activity is strongest in an earthquake?
The vibrations of a earthquake are strongest where the falt line is.
How are earthquake vibrations used to study earths layers?
These vibrations change speeds and directions when they go into different layers of the Earth.
What is the last step of a earthquake?
the final step of an earhquake is tge energy takes the form of vibrations that move through earths crust
What happens when vibrations caused by the plates of earths crust colliding with each other?
Well it would cause an earthquake and sometimes a volcano to erupt
What causes earthquakes and how do they affect us?
One simple answer involves a destructive plate boundary. When a destructive plate boundary slips, the resulting vibrations rush through the earths crust and you get an earthquake.
What does an earthquake's intensity primarily depend on?
The Intensity of an earthquake primarily depends on the force the earths plates collide against each other (the heavier plate would go down wards {oceanic plates} and the lighter plates {the Continental plates} go up up wards) , and that vibrations cause a earthquake.
What is a mega earthquake?
A mega earthquake is seismic activity below the earths crust that causes fluctuations in the earths tectonic plates. This forces the ground to shake and the earths crust to crack.
What caused the earthquake of japan?
The earthquake and tsunami were caused by a shift in the earths crust.
What are examples earths quakes?
ANSWER:A example of a earthquake is a Tsunami Earthquake in 2004
What is instrument use to measure tremors or vibrations of the earths surface?
seismograph
Is it when earths plate moves it erodes?
no that a earthquake
