How do MEDCs prepare for earthquakes?
They build stronger buildings than LEDCs. They give buildings shock absorbers. They give hospitals bakc-up generators. However, they can still be damged very badly by earthquakes.
Is an earthquake more severe than a tornado?
It depends as both earthquakes and tornadoes vary greatly in severity. Most earthquakes are so weak that the can't even be felt, only detected by sensitive instruments. Some tornado will cause little or no damage. However, the worst earthquakes are more destuctive than the worst tornadoes, as they can cause much more widespread damage.
Is an earthquakes faster than tornadoes?
The seismic waves of an earthquake travel faster than the winds of a tornado. But this is not what makes earthquakes destructive.
What is the relationship between plate tectonics and earthquakes?
earthquakes tend to happer near the boundaries of the plates, places like Japan and some parts of Califfornia are on fault lines or close to plates, which move, when that happens- you get bearthquakes- although I'm not entirely sure.
Are geologists more successful in predicting volcanic eruptions than earthquakes?
Yes-- they are more successful in predictiong volcanic eruptions than earthquakes
Are there any earthquacks on are moon?
Yes, the moon does experience moonquakes, which are seismic activities similar to earthquakes. These moonquakes can be caused by Earth's gravitational pull, meteoroid impacts, or the cooling and contracting of the Moon's interior. Moonquakes are generally weaker than earthquakes on Earth.
Do moonquakes last longer or earthquakes?
Although quakes on the moon are much weaker (and rarer) than those on Earth, they can last for much longer. We live in far damper environment than is on the moon and the seismic vibrations of our earthquakes will eventually be calmed by the moisture in the atmosphere. While an earthquake typically lasts for just a few seconds (10-30 for most moderate earthquakes), moonquakes can last up to an hour.
What are moonquakes?
Moonquakes are just earthquakes that occur on the moon.Moonquakes do happen but they happen a lot less frequently and they have magnitudes that are a lot less smaller than earthquakes. They happen at great depth, about half way between the surface and the center of the moon. Moonquakes can last for up to one hour which is a much longer time than earthquakes.
Does the moon have quakes?
Yes, the moon experiences moonquakes, which are similar to earthquakes but are caused by tidal stresses from Earth's gravitational pull. These moonquakes can be triggered by meteorite impacts as well. However, they are generally weaker than earthquakes on Earth due to the moon's relatively rigid and cold surface.
Do earthquakes occur on moon too?
Yes they do, and they are called Moonquakes. The happen a bit differently to earthquakes do though, as the moon does not have moving crustal plates like earth does. What happens is that the gravity from the Earth pulls at the close side of the Moon, squashing it into more of an oval shape than a sphere. This causes the rocky crust and the molten rock inside to change shape, and quakes happen as the Moon gets used to this new shape. As the Moon goes around the earth its shape keeps getting pulled at, so the stress in the rocks builds up over and over, and causes moonquakes. Also asteroids smashing into the moon also cause moonquakes which ripple out from the crash site.
What is an earthquake called on the Moon?
Moonquakes ("earthquakes" on the moon) do occur, but they happen less frequently and have smaller magnitudes than earthquakes on the Earth. It appears they are related to the tidal stresses associated with the varying distance between the Earth and Moon. They also occur at great depth, about halfway between the surface and the center of the moon.
Why does a shallow hypo center generate stronger earthquakes than an deep hypo center?
I know
Why do longer faults usually produce longer earthquakes than short faults?
Because it is stronger!
Where do moonquake occur?
Moonquakes ("earthquakes" on the moon) do occur, but they happen less frequently and have smaller magnitudes than earthquakes on the Earth. It appears they are related to the tidal stresses associated with the varying distance between the Earth and Moon. They also occur at great depth, about halfway between the surface and the center of the moon.
Was there another natural disaster other than the earthquake in Haiti?
Earthquakes and hurricanes. Earthquakes are: FAY, GUSTAV,HANNA and IKE.
Can 'Earth'quakes happen on planets other than Earth?
Yes, earthquakes can occur on other planets and celestial bodies within our solar system. For example, Mars experiences Marsquakes, which are similar to earthquakes but caused by the planet's internal processes. Likewise, the moon is also known to have moonquakes, which are caused by the gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon.
