Which type of wave would be created at the epicenter?
Seismic Wave(:
What is the point where earthquake movement occurs first?
The epicenter.
Distance from epicenter?
According to the chart, this earthquake's epicenter was 215 kilometers away. Measure the amplitude of the strongest wave. The amplitude is the height (on paper) of the strongest wave. On this seismogram, the amplitude is 23 millimeters.
What are short term affects on earthquakes?
Assuming you are some distance from the epicenter, the first effect will be a side to side motion of the ground. That wave is called the P-wave. The last wave to arrive is the rolling type, similar to waves on the occean's surface, known as a Raleigh Wave.
Seismic P-wave can be detected worldwide from strong epicenter?
true

Which type of wave causes the ground to shake in a motion parallel to the focus moving straight away from the epicenter?
p-wave
Why does the time between the arrival of the P wave and the S wave become greater and greater as you get farther away from the epicenter?
It is because the epicenter decreases their strenght as it is closer to it

Where are earthquakes mosty likely to originate?
where the fault is at or the epicenter which is not where the earthquake starts it is the focus where the earthquake starts
What starts a tidal wave?
The tidal wave starts by the moon
Scientists on the side of Earth opposite the epicenter of an earthquake detect mainly?
p wave
How is the distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined?
The distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined from the S-P interval, which is the time difference between the time of arrival of the first P wave and the first S wave.
