What happens when seismic energy is released as rocks in Earth's crust breaks and moves?
When rocks break and tilt or slide down the break and move, energy is released in the form of seismic waves. Sometimes we feel this release as an earthquake. It is basically an earthquake, but it can also cause a tidal wave or even a tsunami.
What causes colliding plates?
tectonic movement can cause tectonic plates to collide, drift apart, or slide across one another
What would be triggered by an earthquake?
A tsunami mud slide land slide etc
Can waves travel in a solid?
yes____________________________Earthquake waves travel through solid rock in the earth's crust when two techtonic plates collide with eavh other or slide past each other------------------------------------------------Another contributor continued:-- Bang on one end of a steel beam, with a hammer or a stick, and your partner on the other end of the beam will definitely hear it.-- That's how earthquakes travel from one place to another, and are detected thousands of miles away.-- If waves didn't travel through solids, it wouldn't do any good to knock on a door !
How are earthquakes triggered?
Normally, tectonic plates regularly slide against each other imperceptibly and we are not aware of it, except for scientists that measure these "mini-quakes" with seismometers. However, when two (or more) tectonic plates get stuck they build up pressure where they are in contact with each other. They are kept from moving by friction but eventually the friction is not enough to stop them from moving. When the plates finally do slide, it releases a large amount of stored energy caused seismic waves. Those waves travel up to the surface and cause the ground to shake. Because the pressure is relieved suddenly, they slide quickly and then stop just as quickly causing (at minimum) two large shakes on the surface; one for the forward movement and one by the sudden stop. There may be multiple small quakes that follow as the plates complete adjusting until the friction is low enough to allow them to stop. This is true whether the quake is caused by the two plates either moving via strike-slip (sliding by each other sideways) or subduction - also known as thrust - (one sliding under the other). Note that 90% of an earthquake's energy is turned into heat rather than movement and never reaches the surface at all. A mighty good thing for us! Volcanoes can also produce earthquakes. As magma begins to rise to the surface and crustal rock melts it changes the stresses of the whole area surrounding the volcano.
When you begin to slide down a slide kinetic energy is converted into energy of motion is this true or false?
true
If you slide a crate across the floor kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy as it comes to rest. Why will adding thermal energy to a stationary crate not cause it to move?
# cos nothing is converting it to kinetic energy # if you add enough thermal energy the box will burn and "move" :)
What problems can arise when the slide is heated in a flame?
Prolonged heating of the slide can cause the slide to shatter.
When does a child on a slide have its maximum kinetic energy?
If the slide has no friction, then at the bottom of the slide. If it does then it's when the child is going the fastest.
Marcus is sliding down a slide Because he is moving he has kinetic energy In what form did this energy exist just before Marcus started moving down the slide?
Potential energy. Potential energy is energy due to position of an object. So as he goes down the slide the potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy until he reaches the bottom.
What energy do you possess as you stop at the top of the slide?
gravitational potential energy
Which molecule provides the energy to slide filaments?
atp
If friction can cause heat to be released letting a cord slide quickly through your hands will cause?
Letting a cord slide quickly through your hands may cause what is called a rope burn.
What has the least potential energy a ball on top of a slide a ball going down a slide or a ball on top of a 3 story building?
going down a slide
Is friction useful when are going down a slide?
Friction will cause heat, so you will slide and have a warm behind but friction will also slow you down on a slide
Can an underground rock slide cause a tsunami?
yes
Can an underwater rock slide cause a tsunami?
the answer is yes,it can.
