A seismic wave is created by a earthquake.
What is the difference between a tsunami and seismic waves?
tsunami's happen underwater and seismic waves happen on land or underground.
What is a seismic-safe structure List two things that would help a building become seismic-safe?
A structure made to be resistant to vibrations during an earthqake..
A difference between sound waves and seismic waves?
Sound wave is is generated by a vibrating object.Whereas, seismic wave is the vibration generated by an earthquake or explosion.
Are seismic waves and tsunami the same?
A seismograph is an instrument that records movements within the earth. A seismogram is the actual recording that scientists look at when studying earthquakes.
What causes a seismic wave?
things that can cause seismic waves are earthquackes
What is seismic shaking-?
"Seismic" refers to an earthquake, so seismic shaking is the shaking motion of the earth (and things on it) caused by an earthquake. There are different waves that emanate from the hypocenter, or point of origin.

What critical building is located between two active seismic zones?
Among other things ,they say that the controversial Indian Point nuclear power plants , 24 miles north of the city ,sit astrid the previously unidentified intersections of two active seismic zones
What happens to the frame of a seismograph when seismic waves arrive?
It moves with the same frequency and amplitude as the seismic waves, while the large mass suspended within it is damped from these oscillations due to it's own inertia. The relative movement between this stationary mass and the frame can then be recorded.
