seismic waves
What else can I help you with?
What Movement of the faults produces what kind of energy waves?
seismic waves
Movement of the faults produces what kind of energy wave?
seismic waves
What instrument measures the horizontal movements along faults?
A seismometer is the instrument used to measure horizontal movements along faults. It records the seismic waves generated by these movements.
What Movement of the faults produces which kind of energy waves?
The movement of faults produces seismic waves. When an earthquake occurs, it generates three types of seismic waves: P-waves (Primary waves), S-waves (Secondary waves), and surface waves. P-waves are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S-waves are slower and move only through solids. Surface waves cause the most damage and travel along the Earth's surface.
What is the measurement of an earthquake's strength based on seismic waves and movements along faults?
An earthquake's magnitude is a measure of its strength.
What are waves of energy released by movements of rock under the earth's surface?
These are known as seismic waves.
Why not all movement along faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the strain energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces. Some faults move easily and thus no strain energy builds up.
What energy produces ocean waves come from?
It is the winds, often far out into the oceans, that create waves.
The movements of atoms and molecules waves and electrons is?
Kinetic energy
What is the name given to the waves of energy that an earthquake produces?
The waves of energy that an earthquake produces are called seismic waves. There are two main types: body waves, which travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface.
What energy is carried on waves?
Waves carry energy in the form of kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. This energy is transferred through the vibrations and movements of particles in the medium through which the wave travels.
Were does the energy that produces waves come from?
Wind that blows across the water surface.
