Where do tidal waves originate where do they end?
Tidal waves originate deep within the ocean and end once they reach the coast. They are typically caused by large earthquakes which send shock waves outward from the epicenter.
Earthquakes usually begin deep in the ground?
yes earthquakes do
Does an earthquake begins at the epicenter?
The epicenter is the point on the earth's surface directly vertically above the hypocenter (or focus) point in the crust where a seismic rupture begins.The epicenter is only "far from the center" on very deeply centered earthquakes where the hypocenter (or focus) point in the crust is very far from the surface. Many earthquakes are shallow.The depth of the hypocenter (or focus) point can be categorized as shallow (up to 70 km or 43.5 miles below the surface), intermediate (70 to 300 km), or deep (greater than 300 km or 186 miles).
How deep can earthquakes go down?
Most are between 1 and 10 miles deep.
What does focus mean in a earthquake?
The difference between the epicentre and the focus of earthquakes is this:The focus of the earthquake is where the actual earthquake occurred and the epicentre is on the ground directly above the focus. The epicentre is used to say where the earthquake was in relation to places near where it occurred.Hope this helped :)
What is the location deep underground where the first motion of an earthquake occurs?
Epicenter!!
What is it called when earthquakes start below Earth's surface?
All earthquakes occur underground, the exact place where the earthquake starts underground is called the Focus. The location where the earthquake first hits the surface of the earth is called the Epicenter! Hope I helped!
What is located deep underground an earthquake?
Deep underground, an earthquake is caused by the release of stress that has built up between tectonic plates. This sudden release of energy generates seismic waves that propagate through Earth's crust, leading to the shaking of the ground surface.
What are the effects of deep focus earthquakes?
Very little, as the earthquake occurs deep underground, hence the deep focus.
Why have earthquakes occurred at night?
Earthquakes are caused by processes that occur deep underground. It does not make a difference whether it is day or night.
An earthquake's focus is located deep underground?
yeah, sure whatever
Does the epicenter create the first motion of earthquake?
The epicenter, a point on the earth's surface directly over the focus, is where the first motion of an earthquake will be felt.The first motion of an earthquake is created at the focus, the point deep underground where the first break in the fault line occurs.
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.
What type of mining in which passageways are dug underground to reach the ore?
deep mining
Why are volcanoes typically located near medium and deep earthquakes?
because there by the edge of the tectonic plates.
What do you call the special defense area in district 13 that is located deep underground?
The special defense area in district 13 located deep underground is called the "Nut," a heavily fortified bunker that serves as a strategic stronghold against enemy attacks.
Where do tidal waves originate where do they end?
Tidal waves originate deep within the ocean and end once they reach the coast. They are typically caused by large earthquakes which send shock waves outward from the epicenter.
