The crust.
What else can I help you with?
The outermost layer of the earth. the layer of the earth where earthquake occurs?
The crust
Which layer of the earth do think shows the most evidence of an earthquake?
The lithosphere.
Which of Earth's layers is cracked during an earthquake?
The Earth's crust is cracked during an earthquake. The crust is the outer layer of the Earth and is made up of several large and small tectonic plates that shift and slide against each other, causing the release of seismic energy. These cracks, known as faults, are responsible for the formation of earthquakes.
How does scientist were able to arrive at the distinct layer of the earth?
They used earthquake waves.
What is the liquid earth layer?
The layer of the earth in liquid form is the mantle. It is made up of magma and lies directly beneath the earth's crust. This liquid is responsible for moving continents and earthquakes. It is the thickest layer of the earth.
What is liquid layer of earth?
The layer of the earth in liquid form is the mantle. It is made up of magma and lies directly beneath the earth's crust. This liquid is responsible for moving continents and earthquakes. It is the thickest layer of the earth.
Which layer of the earth is the place where earthquake waves unexpectedly slow down?
Direct Answer: AsthenosphereExplained Answer: Earthquake waves normally go faster with increasing depth. However, below the lithosphere, the upper mantle contains a curious layer in which earthquake waves unexpectedly slow down. Geologists call this layer the asthenosphere.
Does the thicker the layer of soil the shake more during an earthquake?
yes because its is too soft.
What is the liquid layer of the earth's core?
The layer of the earth in liquid form is the mantle. It is made up of magma and lies directly beneath the earth's crust. This liquid is responsible for moving continents and earthquakes. It is the thickest layer of the earth.
What is the release of stored energy in earth's outer layer that causes movements called?
The release of stored energy in Earth's outer layer that causes movements is called an earthquake. This release of energy typically occurs along fault lines where tectonic plates are in contact with each other and can result in vibrations felt on the Earth's surface.
What layer of the earth drives the tectonic plates into motion?
All layers of the Earth are moving, in some fashion.
What layer of the atmosphere does an earthquake damage?
Earthquakes do not damage any of the atmosphere. Earthquakes literally move crustal plates of the earth. You could say this "damages" them in a way, but this has always been occurring, and is just part of the dynamic earth.
