What do you call the waves of energy formed by an earthquake?

Potential energy is transformed into seismic waves during an earthquake :)


Is the energy of earthquakes travels in waves true or false?

True. The energy released during an earthquake travels in the form of seismic waves. These waves can be classified into primary waves (P-waves), which are compressional and travel fastest, and secondary waves (S-waves), which are shear waves that move more slowly. Additionally, surface waves travel along the Earth's surface and often cause the most damage during an earthquake.

What is the seismic wave that travels really fast?

The seismic wave that travels really fast is the primary or P-wave. P-waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They are the first waves recorded on seismographs during an earthquake.


What is an example of at type of energy that travels as a longitudal wave?

Why can you feel an earthquake from far away from where it occured?

You can feel it because the waves of the earthquake are very destructive depending on the type of earthquake. The wave you might be feeling is the last wave of the earthquake which is the slowest, but the most powerful. Hope this helped! :)


How does the energy from an earthquake reach the surface earth?

The energy from an earthquake travels in the form of seismic waves through the Earth's layers. When these waves reach the surface, they cause the ground to shake, creating the tremors that are felt during an earthquake.


What is the kind of earthquake released during an earthquake?

Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
