Is an earthquake any seismic vibration of earth caused by the slow release of energy?
False. An earthquake is a seismic wave caused by a sudden release of energy.
How is energy released during earthquakes travels in seismic waves?
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
What is a wave of energy that travels through earth away from an earthquake?
A seismic wave.
Can you explain how the transfer of energy as seismic waves is related to the frequency and magnitude of earthquake in a region?
They both based on the amount of energy that is released during earthquake
What caused the ground to shake so strongly in Christchurch's earthquake?
seismic waves Seismic waves are energy that travel through the earth's layers, and are caused by the release of energy from the earthquake. This release of energy causes the crust to move, rip, and tear causing a lot of damage if close to the surface.
What wave is a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake?
A seismic wave. If the earthquake occurs under water, the seismic waves can produce waves in the water called tsunami.
Seismic waves carry what of an earthquake?
energy
Is an earthquake any seismic vibration of earth caused by the slow release of energy?
False. An earthquake is a seismic wave caused by a sudden release of energy.
What is a wave of energy released from an earthquake?
The seismic or shock energy that travels through Earth away from an earthquake is a form of mechanical energy. Mechanical energy applies force to materials. That's what seismic energy does in moving rocks in the earth's crust.
How is energy released during earthquakes travels in seismic waves?
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
Earthquake release energy in the form of?
seismic waves
Energy released during an earthquake creates?
Energy released during an earthquake creates seismic waves.
What Movement of the faults produces which kind of energy waves?
the waves caused by an earthquake are called seismic waves
Do seismic waves Cary the energy during an earthquake?
yes
What are the vibrations that move through the ground carrying the energy released during an earthquake called?
Seismic waves
What is the name given to the waves of energy that an earthquake produces?
It should be a seismic wave.
What is earthquate?
A sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves is called an earthquake. Earthquakes can vary in intensity.
