The waves produced by earthquakes are called seismic waves.
What else can I help you with?
Waves produced by earthquakes are called?
Waves produced by earthquakes are called seismic waves. These waves can be further categorized into primary (P-waves), secondary (S-waves), and surface waves.
What is a tool that records earthquakes is called?
That would be a seismometer. (size-MOM-uh-ter)
When earthquakes occur they produced waves called?
They're called Seismic waves
What is the waves do the energy in earthquakes called?
tsunamis
What Movement of the faults produces which kind of energy waves?
The movement of faults produces seismic waves. When an earthquake occurs, it generates three types of seismic waves: P-waves (Primary waves), S-waves (Secondary waves), and surface waves. P-waves are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S-waves are slower and move only through solids. Surface waves cause the most damage and travel along the Earth's surface.
Shock waves that are felt on the earth's surface as the results of faulting in the crust are called?
Seismic waves or tremors
What are the names of waves caused by earthquakes?
They are called Tsunamis.
If an earthquake happens under the ocean it causes giant waves called?
These waves are called "Tsunami" Note , Earthquakes CAN cause giant waves (not all sub sea earthquakes do this). Note also that there are other causes of Tsunami.
What is the earthquake recorded instrument called?
The instrument used to detect and record earthquakes is called a seismograph. It measures the motion of the ground caused by seismic waves and produces a graphical representation known as a seismogram.
What is the wave called as an aftershock of a hurricane?
Hurricanes do not have aftershocks; earthquakes do. The waves of any earthquake are seismic waves.
What produces a record of seismic waves?
A seismograph is an instrument that produces a record of seismic waves by detecting and measuring the vibrations caused by earthquakes or other seismic events. It consists of a seismometer to detect ground motion and a recording device to produce a trace of the detected seismic waves.
What are the large waves called that sweep up on land that are caused by earthquakes?
tsunami
