If they are warped they can cause shaking when braking.
Shaking and Ground rupture are the effects of earthquake. Ground shaking is the disruptive up and down and sideways motion experienced during an earthquake. And, Ground Rupture is the creation of new or the renewed movements of old fractures, oftentimes with the two blocks on both sides moving in opposite directions.
Earthquakes can cause damage to buildings by shaking the ground, leading to structural failure, collapsing walls, and breaking windows. Ground shaking can also cause non-structural damage such as cracks in walls, ceilings, and foundations. Additionally, earthquakes can trigger landslides or liquefaction, further compromising building stability.
The tsunami in Japan occurred because when the tectonic plates under ground move they cause an earthquake. Sometimes an earthquake can cause a tsunami from shaking underwater.
Ground shaking is the primary cause of damage in earthquakes, as it can lead to building collapse, landslides, and infrastructure failure. The intensity of the ground shaking, which is influenced by factors such as magnitude, distance from the epicenter, and local geology, determines the extent of damage to structures and the environment.
depends on how high it is, it would have to be at least 6 or 7.0
An earthquake = a shaking or other movement of part of the earth's surface. It is caused by movement deep within the earth. Earthquakes can cause the ground to split.
This is known as an earthquake or as seismic activity.
This is known as an earthquake or as seismic activity.
The major causes of damage in an earthquake are ground shaking, ground rupture, and secondary effects like landslides, tsunamis, and aftershocks. Ground shaking can cause buildings and infrastructure to collapse, while ground rupture can lead to displacement and destruction of structures. Secondary effects can amplify the damage, especially in coastal regions or areas prone to landslides.
