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 is seismic damper?
A seismic damper is a mechanical device that dissipates kinetic energy of seismic waves. It is also known as a harmonic absorber.
How is the transfer of energy as seismic waves related to the frequency and magnitude of earthquakes in an region?
how is the transfer of energy as seismic waves related to frequency and magnitude of earthquakes in a region
Is a seismic wave caused by energy released as the result of rock movement along a fault?
Yes, seismic waves are the result of energy released by the movement of rocks along faults.
What is the term for stored-up energy released by earthquakes?
Seismic
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.

How do you define Seismic Energy?
log Es = 4.8 + 1.5Ms, where Es is seismic energy in Joules.
What type of building absorbs the energy of seismic waves?
Fixed-base buildings absorb the energy of Seismic Waves.
How is energy released during earthquakes travels in seismic waves?
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
What happens to the total energy in a seismic wave as the wave grows increasingly larger?
The seismic wave's energy gets smaller
What does seismic mean?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What is seismic damper?
A seismic damper is a mechanical device that dissipates kinetic energy of seismic waves. It is also known as a harmonic absorber.
When rock is energy builds up in it Seismic waves occur as this energy is?
when rock is -----, energy builds up in it. Seismic waves occur as thisenergy is--. the answer is plastically deformed increased
Seismic waves carry what of an earthquake?
energy
Is an earthquake any seismic vibration of earth caused by the slow release of energy?
False. An earthquake is a seismic wave caused by a sudden release of energy.
