How much more powerful is a 9.0 earthquake and a 7.0 earthquake?
a. Shaking amplitude => 10^9/10^7 = 100 times greater. b. Energy release => (10^9/10^7)^(3/2) = 1,000 times greater.
What measures the shaking in an earthquake?
seismoscope
Can a earthquake cause a tsunami?
Earthquakes happen under the sea sometimes. This will have the effect of shaking the sea. If you have a bowl of water and shake it, you will get waves in the bowl. That is what happens when an earthquake occurs under the sea and why we get tsunamis caused by earthquakes.
What kind of shaking can a building withstand the best in an earthquake?
Most buildings can withstand vertical shaking
How do you know when the earthquake starts?
The ground starts shaking.
When an earthquake accurs where could shaking be greater?
Above epicenter.
During an earthquake the most violent shaking occurs at what location?

the shaking of the earthquake
What process occurs when an earthquake's shaking turns loose soil into mud?
the answer is liquefaction
What is earthquke?
An earthquake is a shaking that occurs in the ground. This results from movement underneath the earth's surface.
Why is earthquake risk greater on filled land with soft ground than so solid bedrock?
Soft sediment tends to make shaking in an earthquake worse. It is rather like shaking a bowl of jello.
What is it called when it's shaking of the ground which occurs when plates suddenly move past each other?
Earthquake.
Where is shaking be greater if there is an earthquake?
its where it started from so there is going to be more pressure there
What is seismic shaking-?
"Seismic" refers to an earthquake, so seismic shaking is the shaking motion of the earth (and things on it) caused by an earthquake. There are different waves that emanate from the hypocenter, or point of origin.
What does it mean when your shaking?
There is an earthquake
What causes shaking of the crust of the earth?
A shaking of the crust of the Earth could symbolize an Earthquake. This shaking of the crust can be measured with special machines.
How much more powerful is a 9.0 earthquake and a 7.0 earthquake?
a. Shaking amplitude => 10^9/10^7 = 100 times greater. b. Energy release => (10^9/10^7)^(3/2) = 1,000 times greater.
