It is movement of land beneath the sea, often it is a land slide that displaces water and produces the wave.

A body earthquake wave the can penetrate the Earth's core?
The earthquake body wave which can penetrate the Earth's core is the P-wave.
What does the wave of an earthquake do?
depends if the wave is strong or not if too strong cood cause an enormous earthquake.
Is the focus of an earthquake the where the movement first occurs?
the first place where the movement first occurs in an earthquake is the focus.
What is the first shock wave of an earthquake?
The P-wave is the first shockwave (more correctly termed seismic wave) to arrive during an earthquake.
What is a shear wave?
a shear wave is a wave that moves perpendicular throuth the earth in the form of an earthquake
What wave is a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake?
A seismic wave. If the earthquake occurs under water, the seismic waves can produce waves in the water called tsunami.
What do type of wave do earthquake produce?
Seismic waves.
When an earthquake occurs which types of wave will be detected first?
P-waves.
Earthquake produce which kind of sound before main shock wave?
infrasound
Is it true that contructive interfecence occurs when amplitudes of two waves combine to produce a wave with a smaller amplitude?
Constructive interference occurs when amplitudes of two waves combine to produce a wave with a larger amplitude.If a wave with a smaller amplitude is produced, destructive interference has occurred.
What occurs when two waves combine to produce a wave with a larger displacement?
Constructive Interference
What are tsumnami?
a tasuami is n earthquake that occurs under the sea level which causes an enormous wave that can wipe out an entire islad
Is it true that an earthquake on the ocean floor can produce a tsunami which may grow into a huge wave as it approaches the shore?
true
Which occurs when two or more waves combine to produce a wave with a larger displacement?
Constructive Interference
Which occurs when two or more waves combines to produce a wave with a larger displacement?
Constructive Interference
An earthquake creates a type of wave that shakes the ground. If a large earthquake occurs in Greece how can the waves be felt across the sea in Italy?
I don't think it can be felt against across the water
Which earthquake wave is not a seismic wave?
the sound wave
