What are the different types of earthquakes waves?
The three types of earthquake waves are primary waves, surface waves, and secondary waves.
What are types of earthquakes?
There are four different types of earthquakes - tectonic, volcanic, collapse and explosion. A tectonic earthquake is one that occurs when the earth's crust breaks due to geological forces on rocks and adjoining plates that cause physical and chemical changes.
What are the three types of earhquakes?
The three types of earthquakes are tectonic earthquakes, volcanic earthquakes, and collapse earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are the most common and are caused by the movement of earth's plates. Volcanic earthquakes occur in association with volcanic activity, while collapse earthquakes happen in underground mines and caverns.
What are 3 different types of earthquakes?
(1)mid ocean spreading ridges, (2) subduction zones, and (3) transform faults.
What types of natural hazards occurs along the San Andreas Fault?
Earthquakes.
What types of impacts do earthquakes have?
Catastrophic impacts.
How are Alaska and the us different from earthquakes?
how are Alaska and the USAdifferent from earthquakes
Are earthquakes divergent convergent or transform?
Earthquakes occur at all three types of plate boundary.
What types of wave cause a earthquakes?
Earthquakes are caused when energy is released as the lithosphere (crust and upper mantle) of the Earth moves. Energy is emitted in the form of waves. There are different types of waves, some move faster, slower, sideways, or up and down. A seismograph records these waves on a seismogram.
What are two types of hazards that are associated with volcanoes?
Earthquakes and eruptions.
What two types of natural disaster are associated with plate movement?
Earthquakes and volcanoes! Also earthquakes can in turn cause tsunami.
What part do faults play in many earthquakes?
Faults play a critical role in many earthquakes as they are the planes along which the Earth's crust ruptures and releases stored energy. When the stress between the two sides of the fault overwhelms the friction holding them together, the fault slips, causing seismic waves to radiate outward and result in an earthquake. Different types of faults, such as normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults, can generate different magnitudes and types of earthquakes.
