amplitude of an earthquake
By sing a seismometer which records the amplitude of seismic waves as well as their arrival time.
A seismograph can locate a seismic wave.
Seismic wave
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
You need a shotgun and shoot the wave and that's how you stop a seismic wave
A shear wave is a type of seismic wave.
the sound wave
a seismic wave
That would be a P-wave or Primary wave which is a longitudinal seismic wave.
No, the surface wave magnitude or Ms measures the amplitude of ground motion but does not directly measure the movement of seismic waves underneath the Earth's surface. It is used to quantify the size of earthquakes based on the amplitude of surface waves.
It is possible to have a seismic wave without having an earthquake. Any wave moving through the ground is a seismic wave, and all earthquakes are seismic waves. But seismic waves can be created by volcanic action, landslides, meteor strikes or the like. Though all earthquakes are seismic waves, not all seismic waves are earthquakes.
A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.
