What else can I help you with?
What are the large waves called that sweep up on land that are caused by earthquakes?
tsunami
Does a seismograph record the air movementscaused by seismic waves?
Seismographs cannot measure volcanoes. When you research about seismographs, it may show thing about volcanoes. This is because right before a volcano erupts, it can cause little earthquakes and seismographs measure earthquakes!
What are the changes in the earth's structure that causes earthquakes?
Tectonic plates on The Earth move which causes earthquakes. If 1 plate collides with another it can form hills, volcanoes and/ or mountains. If the earthquake occurs in water, it can cause tsunamis.
Why do earthquakes usually cause more destruction than volcanoes?
are you asking which is more dangerous because if so volcano's are very dangerous but they don't happen as often as earthquake's. earthquakes would be more dangerous because they happen very often tearing down many home and countries also volcano's are pretty bad as well but there aren't very many of them so the answer would be an earth quake.
What are reasons for plate movement?
I recently did a report which included earthquakes, and I did a little research about your question. I'm not sure if what I found is entirely true, but the book I read said that scientists are not really sure. The book said that scientists thought that maybe it came from the mantle, where it is very hot. As the heat from mantle is released, it goes up to the crust in waves. These waves cause the tectonic plates to move with them.
What are the forces in the earth that causes seismic waves to occur?
Tectonic plates build up stress between each other and suddenly release decades or even centuries of stress, causing earthquakes. Volcanoes that have lots of pressure built up can also cause earthquakes.
What percent of volcanoes cause tidal waves?
no volcanoes cause tidal waves - the plates create land. earthquakes, however, do make tidal waves and tsunamis in the aftermath. look that up instead.
What types of wave cause a earthquakes?
Earthquakes are caused when energy is released as the lithosphere (crust and upper mantle) of the Earth moves. Energy is emitted in the form of waves. There are different types of waves, some move faster, slower, sideways, or up and down. A seismograph records these waves on a seismogram.
What happens when Earthquakes form deeply in the Earth?
well sooner or later the stress will build up and cause a major earthquake
Do s and p waves cause earthquakes?
no, p and s waves are an effect of earthquakes. earthquakes are caused when two plates slide out of place. a good example of this is the San Andreas Fault. when they have an earthquake, it's because the American plate has slid past the pacific plate when normally, the two plates would be building up tension.
How did plate tectonics make earthquakes landslides and tidal waves?
Plate tectonics cause earthquakes when tectonic plates move and release built-up stress at their boundaries. Landslides can occur during earthquakes when the shaking of the ground causes slope failures. Tidal waves, or tsunamis, can be generated by underwater earthquakes or landslides that displace large volumes of water.
Is there any boards to predict tsunamis?
The best warning is detecting major offshore earthquakes. These are what trigger tsunamis. The waves build up at sea until they reach land at enormous heights.
What are the large waves called that sweep up on land that are caused by earthquakes?
tsunami
What waves cause damage to property?
Tsunamis, storm surges, and rogue waves are examples of waves that can cause damage to property. Tsunamis are large ocean waves typically caused by undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, storm surges are abnormally high tides driven by strong winds during severe storms, and rogue waves are unexpectedly large and powerful waves that can occur even in seemingly calm conditions.
What build up has been used to try to predict earthquakes?
friction
Why do some earthquakes cause tsunamies?
earthquakes can cause tsunamis because the earth's plates, (search up earth's plates on Google...) slowly move colliding against each other causing violent trembles known as earthquakes. because the ocean is covering the earth's plates up we cannot see that it is moving plates that are causing massive waves called "tsunamis." - by Sheenji- sheenjiberry@gmail.com
What do you notice about the location of earthquakes and the plates that make up the earth's surface?
Earthquakes tend to occur at the boundaries of tectonic plates, where the plates interact. This is because the movement and interaction of these plates cause stress to build up within the Earth's crust, which is released as seismic waves during an earthquake. The specific type of boundary (e.g., convergent, divergent, transform) will influence the nature and intensity of the earthquake activity in that region.
