∙ 9y agoThat depends on a number of factors including the depth and intensity of the earthquake, what kind of sediments and rocks are present, and how fractured the rock is. Shallower and more intense earthquakes can be felt farther away. Shaking is more noticeable in soft sediment than in solid rock, and seismic waves travel farther through unfractured rock. In some cases a strong earthquake can be felt more than 1,000 miles away. Very small earthquakes cannot be felt, even right at the epicenter.

How strong does an earthquake have to be so you can feel it?
No earthquake having solely terrestrial causes can be stronger than 10 on the Richter scale, because no type of rock is strong enough to store that much energy without breaking before then (and thus causing a smaller earthquake). The strongest earthquake ever recorded so far was a 9.5 earthquake. In principle larger earthquakes could be caused by impacts with very big asteroids or comets, but no impacts that large have occurred in recorded history.
One factor that determines the strength of an earthquake is the depth of its?
Earthquake intensity varies. Some are so minor that they can only be felt at the epicenter. Earthquake shock waves radiate etc
What are some examples of receiving information?
Do you require a receiving appointment? What are your receiving hours - Open at ____ and Closed at ____ Does receiving close for lunch? Is there a contact name and phone number? Do you have a dock? Do you have a forklift? Do you have a pallet jack? Do you require a certain size pallet? Do you use a rack system in your warehouse?
When areas where earthquake occurs?
Although earthquake may occur anywhere on the earth, Japan is the country where frequency of earthquake is maximum. This happens due to the movement of tectonic plates of the earth in different directions.
A machine that tells you that an earthquake is coming is called?
A seismograph records an earthquake while it is happening, but as of yet there are no machines that can predict earthquakes.
How far from the earthquake is the receiving station?
360 Km
How far away from the earthquake is the receiving station?
360 Km
What happens when an earthquake occurs far from an observing station?
P-waves hit, followed by S-waves, followed by surface waves.
When was Marconi-RCA Wireless Receiving Station created?
Marconi-RCA Wireless Receiving Station was created in 1914.
What energy transformation occur at the receiving station?
electromagnetic energy to sound energy
What is a seismograph station?
A seismograph station is a location containing equipment that can measure earthquake activity.
How can scientist tell how far the epicenter of an earthquake is from a seismometer station?
They need three stations to accurately tell where the location of something is. By measuring the time where it hit one station to the next, they can determine its location through a process called triangulation.
What waves will arrive at a seismograph station first after an earthquake?
P waves arrive first at a seismograph station after an earthquake. The P waves are followed by S waves, and then surface waves.
What is an earthquake positions?
well if a earthquake happened the best thing to do is to go as far away as possiable from the earthquake
When will the first p wave be received if an earthquake epicenter is approximately 1800 kilometers from the seismic station?
3.5 minutes after the earthquake.
How far did the earthquake travel?
Alot.
What can you figure out about an earthquake from only one seismic station?
the distance to the epicenter
