Has st Louis experienced volcanism or seismic activity If so what were the sizes and dates of the events?
No.There has been no Volcanism or seismic activity recently. 12-8-10
Where does most seismic activity occur?
Most seismic activities are associated with areas of active tectonism. So earthquakes occurs principally in such areas.
Are there other natural disasters that you experienced yet?
Yes. I experienced the Chilean earthquake of Feb. 27, 2010, the 8th biggest recorded earthquake in history. It happened at 3 am and was super strong, however most buildings in Chile are "earthquake proof" due to Chile being a seismic zone (has the biggest recorded earthquake in history!) so there wasn't significant damage done to the infrastructure of Chile.
Why doesn't the UK have any tectonic activity?
In very simple terms, the UK has very little seismic activity due to it's location on the Eurasion tectonic plate. If you click this link you'll see the location of the tectonic plates of the Earth. Most seismic activity occurs along the fault lines, where plates converge or submerge. The UK is not located near a fault, so little seismic activity occurs.
What Seismic activity on the moon compared with the earth?
Find out for yourself, smart one. THIS AIN'T A FREE COUNTRY SO SHUT IT
Do other things in space have earthquakes?
If the planet or other form have plates on the surface, that is to say floating on a molten mantle, then yes they can have earthquakes. Both Mars and Venus have volcanoes so there is almost certainly seismic activity. Quite a few moons of Jupiter and Saturn show evidence of seismic activity. Seismometers left on the Moon by Apollo astronauts regularly detect seismic activity. Remember, earthquakes are a vibration of the earth's materials. This may be caused by tectonic processes, by volcanic activity, or even by a major impact.
Is it possible that the earthquake in Haita on January 12 2010 can lead to a tsunami?
i dont think so depending on where the epicenter was and how strong the seismic waves were
What is the likelihood of a volcano erupting in the centre of Los Angeles?
Los Angeles is on a seismic fault so anything is possible, but since there is no other volcanic activity nearby it is unlikely.
Why was there not as much destruction and injury in Chile than Haiti?
Chile often has earthquakes, though not as strong as this 2010 one, so they have strict building codes for new buildings. The buildings then are stronger and many of them will not fall down.
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 earthquake weather?
There is no known link between earthquakes / seismic activity and weather. So earthquake weather is the weather that by pure chance happened to be occuring at the same time an earthquake occurred.
What are Seismic waves measured with?
Earthquakes are measured on the Richter scale, measuring from 1.0 (the lowest) to 10.0 (never recorded). Each number representes 10x the power, (4.0 10x more than 3.0 and so forth), and the largest ever recoded was a 9.5 on the Richter scale in Chile in 1960.
