The waves produced by earthquakes are called seismic waves.
Waves produced by earthquakes are called seismic waves. These waves can be further categorized into primary (P-waves), secondary (S-waves), and surface waves.
They're called Seismic waves
That would be a seismometer. (size-MOM-uh-ter)
tsunamis
Seismic waves or tremors
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.
They are called Tsunamis.
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.
Hurricanes do not have aftershocks; earthquakes do. The waves of any earthquake are seismic waves.
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.
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.
