Movement along the earths surface caused by an earthquake?
Collide
What are the seismic waves that travel along earths surface and produce the most severe ground movements?
What does a seismograph use to record the drums vibrations
What vibrations caused by breaking rocks along faults most plates moving over under and past each other?
Earthquakes.
Why do the risk of quakes vary across the US?
All earthquakes are caused by is slippage of tectonic plates underneath the earths crust. The closer a location is to the meeting of two tectonic plates, the greater chance of an earthquake. The west coast of the U.S. is right along the edge of a tectonic plate, resulting in more earthquakes. While the east coast of the U.S. isn't anywhere close to an edge of tectonic plate, resulting in less earthquakes
What do sound waves travel along to get to the eardrum?
they travel along vibrations that happen every nano-second in the air.
What hazards are characteristics of transform boundary?
Earthquakes typically occur along transform boundaries releasing different amounts of energy, depending on the severity of the earthquake. Earthquakes are caused because one plate grinds past another plate, producing vibrations caused by the release of energy.
How are season caused?
Seasons are caused by the positon of the earth along its orbit around the sun AND the tilt of the earth. Summer is caused when the sunlight is more direct in a hemisphere (northern or southern) and causes warmer temperatures. Winter is just the opposite: when sunlight is less direct.
Movement of earths crust along plate bound Aries produces what?
usually earthquakes because of the friction caused by the tectonic plates rubbing against each other. rs.com NOT ARIES......BOUNDARIES!!!!
What is along the earths magnetic lines?
opposing magnets i guess?
Why are drums loud?
when the drum is hit vibrations travel along the surface of the object the drum is on.
What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
The wave that can travel through earth and along earths surface is a SEISMIC wave.
After an earthquake additional adjustments can occur along the fault These adjustments can cause damaging vibrations called?
after shocks
