How many people were killed in the earthquake of Alaska in 1964?
The Anchorage Earthquake:The number of deaths from the earthquake and the tsunami that it created totalled at least 131 people including 16 as far away as Oregon and California. Death as a direct result of the Good Friday earthquake however was only nine with all other were blamed on the tsunami.

Is a direct hernia congenital or acquired?
Direct hernias are acquired, Indirect hernias are congenital.
What is shadow zones?
An area on Earth's surface where no direct seismic waves from a particular earthquake can be detected.
Area where no direct seismic waves from a particular earthquake can be traced?
This, would be knows as the Shadow Zone.
Why do shadow zones exist?
P-waves refract as they travel through Earth so do not rach all other pars of the earth's surface. Also S-waves can't travel through liquids and so can't pass through the earth's outer core which also causes a shadow zone.
How much force does a earthquake?
The force of an earthquake is typically measured using the Richter scale or the moment magnitude scale. It is quantified in terms of energy released, not as a direct force. The magnitude of an earthquake can range from minor tremors to major seismic events.
What can a seismologist tell you about earthquakes?
Because seismic waves commonly propagate efficiently and interact with internal structure, they provide high-resolution noninvasive methods for studying Earth's interior. One of the earliest important discoveries (suggested by Richard Dixon Oldham in 1906 and definitively shown by Harold Jeffreys in 1926) was that the outer core of the Earth is liquid. Since S-waves do not pass through liquids, the liquid core causes a "shadow" on the side of the planet opposite of the earthquake where no direct S-waves are observed. In addition, P-waves travel much slower through the outer core than the mantle. Forecasting a probable timing, location, magnitude and other important features of a forthcoming seismic event is called earthquake prediction. Various attempts have been made by seismologists and others to create effective systems for precise earthquake predictions, including the VAN method. Most seismologists do not believe that a system to provide timely warnings for individual earthquakes has yet been developed, and many believe that such a system would be unlikely to give significant warning of impending seismic events. However, more general forecasts routinely predict seismic hazard. Such forecasts estimate the probability of an earthquake of a particular size affecting a particular location within a particular time-span, and they are routinely used in earthquake engineering.
What is the direct measure of the distance from a seismic receiving station to the focus of a distant earthquake?
Intensity
What does the shadow zone tell scientists about the earth core?
The shadow zone is an area on Earth's surface where no direct seismic waves from an earthquake can be detected due to the bending of the waves as they pass through the outer core. By studying the shadow zone, scientists can infer the composition and properties of the outer core, helping to understand the structure of the Earth's interior.
What is the area where no seismic waves are detected called?
It is called the shadow zone, an area at an angle of between 104° and 140° from the axis of the epicenter, where the earth's liquid outer core has refracted the P-waves away from the direct line of travel.
What is a direct method of observing the earths interior?
Seismic imaging is a direct method of observing the Earth's interior. It involves analyzing the propagation of seismic waves through the Earth's layers to create a detailed picture of the subsurface structures and composition. By registering and analyzing seismic wave patterns, geophysicists can infer information about the Earth's interior.
What is the impact of an earthquake on the Earth's atmosphere?
Earthquakes do not have a direct impact on the atmosphere. An earthquake only damages the Earth and structures on the Earth.
