What else can I help you with?
Is 3 miles considered deep or shallow for a earthquake?
That is quite shallow for an earthquake.
Where do shallow earthquakes take place?
They take place between the crust and mantle. They are shallow because the tectonic plates move, and when they move past each other it is like rubbing your hands against one another with something sticky on them, eventually one just snaps and that is what creates the shallow quakes.
5. Most earthquakes are shallow. Use the concepts of elastic and ductile deformation to explain this fact?
Most earthquakes occur at shallow depths because the Earth's crust primarily exhibits elastic deformation, where rocks can store and release energy quickly when subjected to stress. When the accumulated stress exceeds the strength of the rocks, they fracture, resulting in an earthquake. In contrast, deeper layers of the Earth tend to exhibit ductile deformation, where rocks deform plastically and do not break as easily, leading to fewer seismic events in those regions. Thus, the elastic behavior of the shallow crust is the primary reason for the prevalence of shallow earthquakes.
What is a shallow area surrouding a major land mass called?
A shelf sea is a relatively shallow water area formed by the continental shelf.
What was the strength and size of the Kobe earthquake?
The 1995 Kobe earthquake was a magnitude 7.2. It lasted approximately 20 seconds, and because it was a strong, shallow quake it led to the death of 5100 people.
What happens when waves go from deep water to shallow water?
When a wave goes from deep water to shallow water, it decreases in size and strength. This is because shallow water does not have the required power to transmit the wave, and so its velocity decreases.
What happens when a shallow person becomes ugly?
Reality.
How does wave length change in shallow water?
In shallow water, the wavelength of the wave decreases while the wave height increases. This happens because the wave speed decreases as it interacts with the seafloor, causing the wave to become steeper and taller.
What happens to the frequency and wave lengths as waves enter shallow water?
describes the effect of water waves passing into shallow water?
What happens as a tsunami approaches shallow water near a harbour?
when a tsunami enters shallow water there is imediate danger that a tsunami is about to strike...!!(: ENJOY.
What happens to a wave as it moves into shallow water?
As a wave moves into shallow water, its speed decreases while its height increases. This is because the wave encounters the ocean floor, causing the wave to drag and become compressed. Ultimately, the wave may break or collapse as it approaches the shoreline.
Why could the pool not get a date?
because it was to shallow haha
Why are there shallow parts in the ocean?
because there is u stupid
How can I remove the casing from sausage?
To remove the casing from sausage, simply make a shallow cut along the length of the sausage with a knife, then peel off the casing with your fingers.
How do the wavelength and wave height change as a wave enters shallow water?
As a wave enters shallow water, the wavelength decreases while the wave height increases. This happens because the wave encounters the ocean floor, causing the wave to slow down and compress, resulting in a shorter wavelength and higher wave height.
What happens when a roman slave dies?
He is buried in a shallow grave or large pit with other slaves then is replaced.
Why you should not dive in the shallow water?
You should not dive in shallow water because we know that it's dangerous but, you'll hit your head.
