What is a wave of energy released from an earthquake?
The seismic or shock energy that travels through Earth away from an earthquake is a form of mechanical energy. Mechanical energy applies force to materials. That's what seismic energy does in moving rocks in the earth's crust.
What happens to the energy in a seismic wave as the wave grows larger?
As the amplitude of a wave increases, the energy increases. In general terms the energy transported by a wave is proportional to the amplitude squared.
What is seismic energy?
The energy released in earthquakes
What happens to an object as its kinetic energy increase?
It speeds up.
What happens as periods increase on the periodic table?
the principal energy levels of valence electrons increase.
What happens to the energy of seismic waves as the distance from the focus increases?
They start to get smaller
What happens to the total energy in a seismic wave as the wave grows increasingly larger?
The seismic wave's energy gets smaller
What happens when a seismic wave grows increasingly larger?
The seismic wave's energy get's a-lot smaller
When rock is energy builds up in it seismic waves occur when it is relisted is?
erosion happens
What happens to the rest of the energy?
increase
What is the part of speech for seismic energy?
"Seismic" is an adjective modifying the noun "energy."
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What happens to molecules as their potential energy increase?
will be transformed into kinetic energy

How do you define Seismic Energy?
log Es = 4.8 + 1.5Ms, where Es is seismic energy in Joules.
What happens to the energy in a seismic wave as the wave grows larger?
As the amplitude of a wave increases, the energy increases. In general terms the energy transported by a wave is proportional to the amplitude squared.
When work is done what happens with the energy?
"Work" refers to a transfer of mechanical energy. There is work when you apply a force over a certain distance. What happens to the energy depends on the situation - it may be absorbed by friction (and converted to heat), it may speed an object up (kinetic energy), it may increase the receiving object's potential energy, etc.
