Yes, it can.


What are the 3 types of electromagnetic waves that reach the earths surface?

The three types of electromagnetic waves that reach the Earth's surface are radio waves, visible light, and infrared radiation. Each of these types of waves plays a different role in our daily lives and interacts with the Earth in various ways.


Which wave is a body wave?

A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.

What is an epicenter and how do shockwaves produced an earthquake travel?

An epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake. Shockwaves produced by an earthquake travel through the Earth's interior as seismic waves, including primary (P-waves) and secondary (S-waves) waves that propagate in different ways through solid rock and cause shaking at the surface.


How does earthquakes travel?

Preceding an earthquake, stresses accumulate in the earth's crust over time, causing energy to be stored in the form of elastic strain (like that in a compressed spring). Ultimately this stress exceeds the shear strength of the crust in the fault zone causing a sudden brittle failure or rupture. This in turn causes movement and a sudden release of the stored elastic strain energy in the form of seismic waves (or shock waves).


How or where do seismic waves travels?

Seismic waves are the invisible pressure movements that travel through the earth after an earthquake or tremor. They can also be generated by humans through underground controlled explosions or shocks and on the surface by heavy seismic machinery impacting the surface of an area. The pressure waves travel in 2 or more ways, p-waves or push ways travel in a straight line and travel the furthest in all directions, s-waves or shear or shake waves, travel from side to side and travel shorter distances, close to the surface. As each wave reaches a boundary in the sub-strata they bounce back to the surface, where they can be recorded on a seismograph, indicating the strata depths and structures and can aid in the interpretation of geological structures and mineral exploration. Other waves can travel right around the earth and down into the earth, where they are reflected back off of the earth's nickel-iron core, forming a shadow area. By correlating a series of recordings from various surface points, a triangulation can be made indicating the source position of the shock. The strengths of the shocks are given as degrees on The Richter Scale.


What effect do these two events have on earth's surface?

earthquakes affect the surface of the earth by cracking or opening the surface of the earth or by changing it in many different ways
