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.
How many layers are of the earth?
The earth has a total of 6 main layers.
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.
What happens when layers of eath crust crack and move?
An Earthquake
How are earth layers formed?
sedimenatary rock create layers in the surface of the earth and eruptions from volcanoes also make layers of the earth.
How does earthquake waves determine the different layers of the earth?
how earthquakes helped in determining the different layers of earth
Which layers of the earth are involved in sea-floor spreading?
Oceanic crust
Which layers of the earth are involved in tectonic plate movement?
Basically.... The Lithosphere and The Asthenosphere.
How are earthquake vibrations used to study earths layers?
These vibrations change speeds and directions when they go into different layers of the Earth.
What are earthquake generated waves called?
Earthquake generated waves are called seismic waves. These are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers. Their velocity depends on the elasticity and density of the medium that they travel through.

How many layers are of the earth?
The earth has a total of 6 main layers.
Why is the earth in layers?
Its in layers because of the density of the compounds in the earth

How are the layers of the earth related to the movement of the earth's tectonic plates?
it is a part of the EARTH layers.
