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 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 is the shaking of the ground that precedes an earthquake?
Tremors
What is the name of the machine that rates the amount of shaking from an earthquake?
It is a seismomiter.
Why the stronger the earthquake the greater the loss of life?
cause earthquakes happen a few seconds up to minutes and the aftermath or aftershocks could collapsed buildings destroy homes create tsunamis or volcanoes cause of the impact of earthquakes
When an earthquake occurs is shaking greater?
Yes, shaking is a primary characteristic of earthquakes
When an earthquake accurs where could shaking be greater?
Above epicenter.

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.
What measures the shaking in an earthquake?
seismoscope

The amount of shaking produced by an earthquake at a given location is called the intensity.
Who would feel the ground shaking first in an earthquake?
i depends where the earthquake is.
