They use the Richter scale to measure the speed of the earthquakes.
Levels of earthquakes
2.0 ---> can't be felt
4.0 ---> do not cause damage
5.0---> can cause damage
6.0 ---> considered strong
7.0---> is a major earthquake

That is not correct. You have confused speed with intensity. The Richter scale, which is logarithmic, measures the intensity ("strength" if you like).
The speed is measured in ordinary linear units like metre/second or km/hr, calculated from observing the earthquake's waves' progress past seismographs around the world.

What are seismic waves also called?
Seismic sea waves are also called a tsunami.
L waves are seismic waves that?
Fxck you
How do seismic waves affect us?
Seismic waves affect us because they are what causes the motion from an earthquake that destroy buildings and such. The three types of seismic waves are surface waves primary waves also called P-waves and secondary waves also called S-waves.
What does seismic mean?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
P waves?
seismic waves that puch copmpress and pull in the diection thta waves travel
Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What is another name for earthquake waves?
Seismic waves.
Name of people who study seismic waves?
Seismologists.
Seismic waves that shear rock side to side are called?
seismic waves actually the correct answer is S waves. trust me if you put seismic waves it will be wrong
Kind of wave released during an wave?
During an earthquake, seismic waves are released. These waves travel through the Earth and can be detected by seismographs. The main types of seismic waves are P-waves (primary waves), S-waves (secondary waves), and surface waves.
What are seismic waves associated with?
Seismic waves are associated with earthquakes.
Are surface waves the fastest seismic waves?
No, they are in fact the slowest! The fastest seismic waves are P-waves.
Which seismic waves travel the fastest?
Primary waves (P-waves) are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to be detected after an earthquake. They are able to travel through solid rock, liquid, and gas, making them the fastest seismic waves.
What part of earth does not receive seismic waves?
The epicenter does not recive seismic waves.
What are seismic waves called?
Seismic sea waves are also called a tsunami.
How can you use 'seismic waves' in a sentence?
Seismic waves occur when there is an earthquake.
