Name three events that can couse a tsunami?
An earthquake beneath the sea A large impact, for example a large meteor striking the sea A large explosion, for example the Krakatoa volcanic explosion
What type of seismic wave arrives after an earthquake?
A seismic wave travels through the Earth's layers, after a volcano, explosion, or earthquake. Transverse, compressional, longitude, and shear waves are all types of seismic waves after earthquakes.
What kind of damage can a 0.7 earthquake cause?
None at all. A magnitude 0.7 earthquake would be an instrumental earthquake, meaning it can be picked up on seismometers, but otherwise is not noticeable.
How strong is a 7.9 earthquake from 4.6 earthquake?
If you mean how stronger a 7.9 earthquake is then a 4.6 earthquake, then a 7.9 earthquake is way stronger. It can take down buildings but then again so can a 4.6, still you've sorter got you're answer. But the 7 in 7.9 means 700 and the 0.9 is 90 so baisically your question is: How stronger is a 790 earthquake from a 460 earthquake?
How much stronger is 6.6 earthquake than an 8.3 earthquake?
An 8.3 earthquake is significantly stronger than a 6.6 earthquake. Each whole number increase on the Richter scale represents a tenfold increase in the amplitude of seismic waves, meaning an 8.3 earthquake releases exponentially more energy than a 6.6 earthquake.
What is measured on a seismogram?
It is the recording of a movement caused by an earthquake or explosion is set on a seismograph.
Was the earthquake in japan caused by an explosion of a nuclear power station?

What caues tsunami?
a tsunami is caused by an underwater earthquake,explosion,landslide,or a volcanic eruption.
Is it safe inside in an earthquake?
No. Things could fall down in an earthquake. Also the building could collapse or a gas line could brake and cause an explosion if it is ignited.
What is the name of the point on the surface of the earth's surface that is directly above the hypocenter or focus or where an earthquake or underground explosion originated?
The point on the Earth's surface directly above the hypocenter of an earthquake or underground explosion is called the epicenter. It is the point where the seismic waves created by the event first reach the surface.
Name three events that can couse a tsunami?
An earthquake beneath the sea A large impact, for example a large meteor striking the sea A large explosion, for example the Krakatoa volcanic explosion
What is the meaning of seismo?
of an earthquake; relating to earthquakes
How focus and epicenter related?
The focus and epicenter are both "earthquake points". The focus is the point of origin of an earthquake or underground nuclear explosion while the epicenter the very center or focal point.
Why would a person need to report any odor of gas after an earthquake?
The earthquake may have damaged or ruptured a gas main, this needs to be made safe quickly, as there is a danger of explosion and/or fire.
