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.

Is a seismic wave a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake as elastic strain is released?
Secondary wave (s wave )
Is the shifting of earths crust with the release of energy is a p wave?
no it's an earthquake.
What is the difference in energy released by an 5 earthquake and a 6 earthquake?
Roughly 32 times more energy is released in a Magnitude 6 earthquake than in a Mag.5 quake.
What electromagnetic wave has its origin in the nucleus of an atom?
In nuclear reactions, energy is usually released. This energy is released as an electromagnetic wave. Because of the large amount of energy involved, this wave has a high frequency/energy - a gamma ray.
What is the difference in energy released by an 8.0 earthquake and a 9.0 earthquake?
Going strictly by tables of Richter Magnitude, the total energy releasedin a 9.0 is 32 times the total energy released by an 8.0 .
Seismic wave?
the energy released by an earthquake that travels in all direction from the focus
Is a seismic wave a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake as elastic strain is released?
Secondary wave (s wave )
Vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake?
It is a seismic wave.
What is vibrations that travel through earth carrying the energy released during and earthquake?
A specific type of mechanical wave known as a seismic wave.
This energy is released by fault movement forms this?
The energy released by fault movement forms seismic waves.
What kind of wave was released during an earthquake?
Semitic wave
What is a wave of energy that travels through earth away from an earthquake?
A seismic wave.
What wave is a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake?
A seismic wave. If the earthquake occurs under water, the seismic waves can produce waves in the water called tsunami.
How is an earthquake magnitude scale related to the amounts of energy released by earthquaiew?
The larger the magnitude of the earthquake, the larger the energy to be released by the earthquake.
Energy released during an earthquake creates?
Energy released during an earthquake creates seismic waves.
What happens when seismic energy is released as rocks in Earth's crust breaks and moves?
When rocks break and tilt or slide down the break and move, energy is released in the form of seismic waves. Sometimes we feel this release as an earthquake. It is basically an earthquake, but it can also cause a tidal wave or even a tsunami.
What is a wave of energy produced at the earthquake's focus?
therre is more than one wave, it could be a surface wave, or an s wave or p wave
