Water that flows downhill along Earths surface is called?
Runoff is the water flowing downhill across the surface of the Earth.
What are the seismic waves that travel along earths surface and produce the most severe ground movements?
What does a seismograph use to record the drums vibrations
How do waves change the earths surface?
they continuously attack of wave under the cliff canes are formed.they sometime cuts the notch at the base of the surface.and when the notch grow the cliff fall and there appear a platform eroded at the base.wave some time change the surface of earth by the deposition of sand,mud and pebbles along the coast by shore drift.the soft rocks along the coastline is eroded by the continuous wave and bay are formed.but the hard rocks are not eroded and form capes.
What is the definition of epicenter and focus?
epicenter is the point on earths surface directly above an earthquakes starting point,or focus focus is the point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs
What are tropical rainforests along the equator?
Deserts and rainforests
What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
The wave that can travel through earth and along earths surface is a SEISMIC wave.
Movement along the earths surface caused by an earthquake?
Collide
What happens along a fault under the earths surface when an earthquake occurs?
it get weak
Why are some currents cold and some warm?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Why are some density currents warm and others cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Why are warm currents warm and cold currents cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Do seismic waves travel along earths surface?
Yes, Surface waves, a type of seismic wave, travels along the surface, or appears to, as it loses energy exponentially as it goes away from the surface.
Water that flows downhill along Earths surface is called?
Runoff is the water flowing downhill across the surface of the Earth.
What happens along a fault beneath earths surface when earthquakes happen?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
How does energy in earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
Surface Waves?
waves that travels only on the surface
True or false Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion?
False. Consider a car moving on the road, along the earth's surface. That is considered to be Vx or Horizontal motion or velocity. If the car were to move perpendicular to the earth's surface that would be Vy or Vertical motion and velocity.
