Vibrations caused by rocks breaking and moving as a result af a sudden release of energy?
Vibrations caused by rocks breaking and moving as a result of a sudden release of energy is called an Earthquake. By the movement of plate boundaries, depending how it moved, is how strong the Earthquake will be.
What does the haiti and Chile earthquakes have the same?
Two faults slipping past each other caused the earthquake in Haiti. The fault slipping as the Pacific Plate slid under the South American Plate raising the Andes Mountains caused the earthquake in Chile. Or, while both were caused by moving faults, the faults moved for different reasons.
Why does a moving object produce sound?
because a moving body produces vibrations in the air so that requirements i-e medium and vibrations are accomplished for the production of sound....
What do the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes have in common?
They are both caused by the plates under the earth being unstable, therefore moving causing vibrations and the outcome is either volcanoes or earthquakes.
What land forms are caused by the earths moving plates?
1. Seafloor spreading, new crust is made 2. Mountain ranges 3. Volcanoes 4. Faults
When something is moving backwards and forwards it is called what?
vibrations
The places between plates moving together are called?
faults.
What kind of faults you find in the mid Atlantic ridge?
Mainly transverse faults. This is caused by the way in which the sea-floor spreads, and the perpendicular faults slide past each other as the plates separate. The plates are moving away from each other, but as the divergence is not uniform and in a single line, faults are formed between the respective sides as a result of their movement. These faults are transverse as they move side by side. This is comparable to a Conservative plate boundary, but is not to be confused with it as this is not a tectonic boundary, but a fault.
What causes an earthquake's vibrations?
The shifting of plate tectonics moving by eachother.
What does the word kinetic realate to?
Anything Kinetic is associated with movement (eg. Kinetic energy is often given off by vibrations and general movement.)
What is created when rocks move apart?
Rocks moving apart can cause normal faults to form, as opposed to reverse and strike-slip faults.
What are the types of faults?
the three types of faults are normal (colliding), reverse (moving apart), strike-slip (sliding past each other)
