Earthquakes are caused when energy is released as the lithosphere (crust and upper mantle) of the Earth moves. Energy is emitted in the form of waves. There are different types of waves, some move faster, slower, sideways, or up and down. A seismograph records these waves on a seismogram.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of damage does s wave occur?
The seismic waves that cause the majority of damage in earthquakes are the surface waves of which there are two types.
What is the cause of a water wave?
Mostly wind. Earthquakes can also cause waves.
What are the 3 types of earthquakes wave?
The three types of earthquake waves are primary waves, surface waves, and secondary waves.
The hieght of a wave in earthquakes?
The height of the wave in the earthquakes depends with the earthquake in question.
What wave do earthquakes make?
Seismic waves Types: Primary waves Secondary waves Surface waves
What four types of plate movements can cause earthquakes?
The four types of plate movements that can cause earthquakes are convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, transform boundaries, and subduction zones. These movements can result in the buildup of stress within the Earth's crust, which may eventually be released in the form of an earthquake.
Major danger of earthquakes?
Earthquakes can cause several types of damage. Some of the major damage they can cause are collapsed building, sinkholes, tsunamis, and loss of life.
What two types of natural disaster are associated with plate movement?
Earthquakes and volcanoes! Also earthquakes can in turn cause tsunami.
How are non explosive and explosive are alike?
They are both can cause damage and they are both types of earthquakes.
What wave has the largest amplitude?
A seismic wave known as the Love wave typically has the largest amplitude. These are surface waves that travel through the Earth's crust and have a horizontal motion that can cause significant shaking during earthquakes.
Can earthquakes have an after shock wave?
Yes
What type of seismic wave arrives after an earthquake?
A seismic wave travels through the Earth's layers, after a volcano, explosion, or earthquake. Transverse, compressional, longitude, and shear waves are all types of seismic waves after earthquakes.
