What are intense vibrations felt throughout Earth's crust during an earthquake called?
Intense vibrations felt throughout Earth's crust during an earthquake are called seismic waves. These waves are responsible for shaking and transmitting energy through the Earth's layers, leading to the ground motion experienced during an earthquake.
What vibrations are released during an earthquake?
Seismic Waves
What are the vibrations that occur during an earthquake called?
sciesmic waves ;]
Define seismic safe?
Definition: structures that are resistant to vibrations during an earthquake:)
Are focus waves vibrations that are released during an earthquake?
No, It's Seismic Waves.
What measures how much ground movement during an earthquake?
Seismometers measure ground movement during an earthquake. These instruments detect and record the vibrations caused by the seismic waves generated by the earthquake.
What measures the shaking in an earthquake?
The shaking in an earthquake is measured using a seismometer. This device detects and records the vibrations produced by seismic waves during an earthquake. The magnitude of an earthquake is then determined based on the measurements recorded by seismometers.
During an earthquake do seismic waves move outward from the focus in all directions?
Yes, they do.
What's the definition of earthquake damage?
Earthquake damage is the damage to property and life from the ground vibrations during an earthquake. The Richter scale is one way to measure the scale of earthquake damage. For example, a magnitude of 5 is strong enough to damage weak buildings.
What types of energy transformation occurs during an earthquake?
Elastic potential energy stored in the rock is released in the form of vibrations and heat.
Why The china danced on the shelves during the earthquake?
to hang on
What is vibrations that travel through earth carrying the energy released during and earthquake?
A specific type of mechanical wave known as a seismic wave.
