What happens before rocks give way in a earthquake?
The ground starts to shake don't take it from my though it might be wrong but that's what I learned.
Give one fact about earthquakes start with a?
A seiche, is what happens in the swimming pools of Californians during and after an earthquake.
Is there a way to detect and earthquake?
Yes, earthquake is the breakdown of geological structure. There is the pre-warning wave emitted out before the start of the earthquake. However, the detection can only give a warning at a short period of time.
Can the Richter scale go higher than ten?
Theoretically yes, but in reality no, at least on the Earth. The reason of this has to do with the nature of an earthquake forming and the rocks that the earthquake forms in. When tectonic plates move against each other they often get caught and stop, as it is usually not a smooth contact. The driving force moving the plates causes a stress to build up to a point where it can overcome the "snag", and the plates will suddenly shift based on the stored up energy. Large earthquakes happen where large amounts of energy were built up before being released. The reason the Richter scale doesn't go above 10 on earth is because the rocks at the plate boundaries will usually "give in" before that much energy is able to be stored.
How does a seismograph record a strong earthquake and a weak earthquake?
A seismograph measures the vibrations given off by an earthquake. Even the smallest earthquakes give off these vibrations.

What happens if you give a cat food before surgery?
He dies.
How do you classify sedimentary rocks?
The basic division of sedimentary rocks is into clastic and chemical rocks. Clastic rocks are formed when grains form a sediment and are then cemented together, as happens with sandstone or shale. Chemical rocks form when solid precipitates out of solution, for instance when calcium carbonate is formed from sea water to give chalk.
What happens to athletes take drugs before they run?
It will give them a boost before they run so they will go Fast.
In Superman the movie what was the song playing in Lois lane's car before it went down the ground during the earthquake?
"Give A Little Bit" by Supertramp
How will you help the earthquake victims?
Give money to them
Does a rocks grain give the rocks its texture?
Yes simple as that.
Why may a volcano that is about to erupt give off more gas?
Volcanoeproduce small earthquake the magma moves upward that happens because the magma moves/pushes on a rock that it rises
How do you explain the features of an earthquake?
Earthquakes cause their damage with shockwaves. You have the focus, the point where the earthquake started and the epicentrre, the point above ground where the waves spread out from. These waves can often give the appearance of the ground moving up and down, when travelling up a motorway fro example. Also these waves are similar to the shockwave of a large explosion.
