Valdez Alaska is on the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean from Japan.
well if a earthquake happened the best thing to do is to go as far away as possiable from the earthquake
An earthquake generates seismic waves that travel through the Earth's crust, which can extend over long distances. These waves can cause ground shaking and structural damage even in areas far from the earthquake's epicenter. Additionally, secondary effects such as tsunamis or landslides triggered by the quake can also lead to damage far away. The intensity and impact depend on the earthquake's magnitude, depth, and the geological characteristics of the intervening areas.
I'm pretty sure that an earthquake gives off a seismic wave and that seismic wave is then written on a seismograph that tells how strong it was and what kind of wave it was. with that knowledge a scientist can estimate how far away the earthquake was when it started and where it was
The SP time interval on a seismograph refers to the time difference between the arrival of the primary (P) waves and the secondary (S) waves from an earthquake. This interval is crucial for determining the distance to the earthquake's epicenter, as P waves travel faster than S waves. By measuring the SP interval, seismologists can estimate how far away the seismic event occurred. The longer the SP interval, the greater the distance to the source of the earthquake.
Structures built close to an earthquake's source experience stronger ground shaking and seismic waves, leading to greater potential for damage. The intensity of the shaking decreases with distance; therefore, buildings farther away are subjected to lower energy levels. Additionally, proximity to the epicenter can result in more complex ground movement, which can exacerbate structural vulnerabilities. As a result, the cumulative effects of these factors make nearby structures more susceptible to severe damage during an earthquake.

Stay as far away from them as possible.
100 penises away
How far away the epicenter is.
That.
How pollution from one location can affect the environment far away from the source of pollution
You can feel it because the waves of the earthquake are very destructive depending on the type of earthquake. The wave you might be feeling is the last wave of the earthquake which is the slowest, but the most powerful. Hope this helped! :)
Go to evacuation centres as far away from their homes as possible.
how far away you are from the focus of an earthquake
Approximately in a 60 mile radius.
seismic waves :)
Hawaii and Japanwere two far away areas that were still affected by the 27-ft. tsunami from the Alaskan earthquake in 1964 that reached a 9.2 on the Richter scale.Hope that got you knowledge.Wiki is the way!
