A seismograph measures the vibrations given off by an earthquake. Even the smallest earthquakes give off these vibrations.

A seismograph located near the San Andreas fault detects two earthquakes. One earthquake is very strong the other is relatively weak. How will the seismograms produced during the two earthquakes compa?

The seismogram from the strong earthquake will show a much larger amplitude and a more complex pattern of waves compared to the relatively weak earthquake, which will display smaller amplitude and simpler waveforms. The strong earthquake will produce pronounced P-waves and S-waves, while the weak earthquake may have less distinct waves. Additionally, the duration of the strong earthquake's seismogram will likely be longer due to the greater energy released. Overall, the contrast in the seismic signatures will clearly indicate the differences in their magnitudes and impacts.


What's the definition of earthquake damage?

Earthquake damage is the damage to property and life from the ground vibrations during an earthquake. The Richter scale is one way to measure the scale of earthquake damage. For example, a magnitude of 5 is strong enough to damage weak buildings.


Is washing up liquid a weak or strong alkali?

it is weak and strong because it neutralises acids. So its strong not weak but weak not strong.


How high on the Richter scale would kill someone?

The energy in the Richter scale will not of itself kill anyone. Indeed if you are outside in an open area you are likely to be safe (baring cracks in the ground and liquefaction. It is things falling on you that will kill you and that depends on the design of the building/structure you are in. A weak earthquake in a poor building can kill you. A strong earthquake in a well built building will probably not kill you.


What are specific actions that take place during a earthquake?

during an earthquake the plates under us release which forms an earthquake which brings great damage. buildings might fall, fire, e.t.c. some earthquakes are really weak to even notice them. :)

How weak are buildings in Haiti?

some building weren't built up to standard to they weren't that strong and broke when a earthquake happened

antonym comes from the greek, anti, meaning opposite, so the opposite of weak is strong.
