When an earthquake occurs where would be damage more?
If the earthquake occurs on land - the highest damage occurs at the epicentre (the point at which the quake starts). If the quake begins at sea - most damage is caused at coastal regions from tidal waves.
The earths surface where most earthquake damage occurs is called the?
Epicenter
Which scale would most likely be used to tell how much earthquake damage was done to home and other buildings?
The Mercalli scale would most likely be used to measure earthquake damage.
Most damage from an earthquake usually occurs?
Most damage from an earthquake usually occurs near the epicenter, where the shaking is strongest. Structures built on soft soil or near fault lines are particularly vulnerable to damage. Tsunamis triggered by undersea earthquakes can also cause widespread destruction along coastlines.
What is the term for the place where slippage first occurs in an earthquake?
The term for the place where slippage first occurs in an earthquake is the "focus" or "hypocenter." This is the point within the Earth where the seismic energy is released and where the fault rupture begins.
Name the point where an earthquake is strongest?
The strongest point in an earthquake is the epicenter.
What scale would most likely be used to tell how much earthquake damage was done to homes and other buildings?
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is commonly used to assess earthquake damage to buildings and structures. This scale measures the intensity of shaking felt at a given location and categorizes the damage caused based on a set of criteria.
Which scale would most likely be used to tell how much earthquake damage was done to homes and other buildings?
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is typically used to assess the level of earthquake damage to homes and other buildings. The scale assigns a value based on observed effects and is used to quantify the intensity of shaking at a specific location during an earthquake.
What area of Chile had most damage from the earthquake?
The TIP
What type of building get the most damage from an earthquake?
not stertey
What was the most destruvctive earthquake in US history?
The most destructive earthquake in US history was the Prince William Sound earthquake. This earthquake did extensive damage across the Gulf of Alaska.
How does a rubber suffer the most severe damage from an earthquake?
Rubber materials can suffer severe damage during an earthquake due to the shaking motion. The repeated stretching and compression that occurs during the shaking can cause the rubber to degrade and fail, resulting in cracks and fractures. Additionally, exposure to high temperatures and fire during an earthquake can further damage rubber materials.
