A specific type of mechanical wave known as a seismic wave.

Many earthquakes can travel through water until it hits land causing a on shore earthquake.
A seismic wave.
Seismic waves are the vibrations from earthquakes that travel through the Earth; they are recorded on instruments called seismographs. Seismographs record a zig-zag trace that shows the varying amplitude of ground oscillations beneath the instrument. Sensitive seismographs, which greatly magnify these ground motions, can detect strong earthquakes from sources anywhere in the world. The time, locations, and magnitude of an earthquake can be determined from the data recorded by seismograph stations. The Richter magnitude scale was developed in 1935 by Charles F. Richter of the California Institute of Technology as a mathematical device to compare the size of earthquakes. The magnitude of an earthquake is determined from the logarithm of the amplitude of waves recorded by seismographs.
it erodes but i cant erode cauz erode means to eat through so it shifts
It is a seismic wave.
in an earthquake, movement along the fault move and break, releasing energy as________
These are known as seismic waves - of which there are 4 types; P-waves, S-waves and Love and Rayleigh waves.

the final step of an earhquake is tge energy takes the form of vibrations that move through earths crust
An earthquake causes vibrations to move through the ground (in simple terms this makes the ground shake). If the earthquake is large and releases a lot of energy then the amplitude of the shaking (a bit like the height of a water wave) gets larger and so does the ability of the earthquake to cause damage.
No. Seismic waves travel through rock and sediment.Sea waves (tsunamis) are not generated by earthquake vibrations, but by the displacement of ocean water, which leads to the formation of waves when the crest reaches shallower water.
vibration that travels through earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake.
Vibrations through some medium ARE sound. Vibrations through the air are just one example. The air vibrates and when the vibrations hit human ear drums, they are heard.
One simple answer involves a destructive plate boundary. When a destructive plate boundary slips, the resulting vibrations rush through the earths crust and you get an earthquake.
magnitudea measure of the amount of the energy released by earthquake . earthquake is measure through Ricthter scale that measure the magnitude of seismic waves that it has
