Are shallow earthquakes more destructive than deeper earthquakes of the same intensity?
Earthquakes that happen in shallow water cause tsunami and other side affects like landslides.
Which type of earthquake usually occurs farther inland than other earthquakes?
deep focus
What characteristics of earthquakes caused the most severe damage?
The most severe damage from earthquakes is typically caused by a combination of factors, including their magnitude, depth, and proximity to populated areas. Higher magnitude earthquakes release more energy, leading to greater ground shaking and destruction. Shallow earthquakes tend to cause more damage than deeper ones because they are closer to the surface. Additionally, the geological conditions of the affected area, such as soil type and building structures, can exacerbate the impact of the shaking.
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.
Are geologists more successful in predicting volcanic eruptions than earthquakes?
Yes-- they are more successful in predictiong volcanic eruptions than earthquakes
What causes more damage shallow or deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow-focus earthquakes cause more damage than deep-focus earthquakes. This is because shallow-focus earthquakes originate closer to the Earth's surface, which allows the energy to be more concentrated and lead to stronger shaking and more destruction of structures. Deep-focus earthquakes, occurring deeper underground, tend to have their energy dissipate before reaching the surface.
Are shallow earthquakes more destructive than deeper earthquakes of the same intensity?
Earthquakes that happen in shallow water cause tsunami and other side affects like landslides.
How deep should foundation be for a 2 story structure?
This question would vary, because it would depend on where the building was located, for instance if it was in California it would be deeper, because of the Earthquakes, than a one in St. Louis
How deep is the Atlantic's?
2500 meters deeper than sea level
How many miles deep is Pluto?
50 miles deep. 60 miles deeper than earth.
4 At what type of plate boundary do you find most deep-focus earthquakes?
The most deep focused earthquakes would be found at transform boundaries. The shallow focused earthquakes would be found at Divergent boundaries. And the intermediate focused earthquakes would be found at Convergent boundaries. By: A ninth grader.
How deep is the mid Atlantic?
2500 meters deeper than sea level
How deep can quicksand go?
Quicksand can vary in depth, but on average it is typically only a few feet deep. It is rare to find quicksand that goes much deeper than a person's height. The danger lies in becoming stuck and needing assistance to get out, rather than sinking deeper and deeper.
What is a deep sulcus?
A deep sulcus refers to a groove or crevice that is more pronounced or deeper than usual. In medical terms, it can refer to an abnormal deepening of a particular anatomical structure, often observed in conditions related to the lungs or feet.
What type of earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes?
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
Which type of earthquake usually occurs farther inland than other earthquakes?
deep focus
