Why is a person who is standing outside in an open field relatively safe during a strong earthquake?

The majority of risk to humans in an earthquake is due to the collapse of structures or due to falling debris or glass again from their partial collapse. Being in an open space means that you are significantly less likely to be injured or killed by these hazards.

What time was the earthquake in haiti?

It depends on your connotation of "earthquake." If by earthquake you mean just the period when the earth's motion can be traced to a specific event, the Hatian earthquake lasted about 45 seconds. If however, you mean the period between when the earth's motion caused damage and when that damage is no longer felt in the live of the all people affected by it, the earthquake is still ongoing. Many Hatian people live in tents away from cities and are out of work. Many have had their homes completely desroyed while others have homes still standing with damage and the owners fear if they return another earthquake will cause a collapse.

A person standing directly on the epicenter of an earthquake is protected from the motion and does not feel movement.?

Not necessarily. The strong shaking at the epicenter of an earthquake can still be damaging and dangerous. The severe ground motions at the epicenter can cause buildings and structures to collapse, leading to potential injury or death.


Where is the epicenter of an earthquake if the arrival time difference between P and S waves is zero?

Your standing on it! P-waves travel faster than S-waves through the Earth. As such the further away a seismometer station is from the epicentre of an Earthquake, the larger the difference between arrival times will be. By the same logic this means that the closer you get to the epicentre, the smaller the difference in arrival time will be until your at the epicentre when the difference will be zero!


If you were standing on the epicenter of an earthquake when would you feel the vibrations in relation to someone else standing 50 miles away?

The epicenter is directly above the focus, or starting point, of the earthquake. Anyone standing there would be the first to feel the vibrations.Seismic waves can vary from a low speed of 2 to 8 kilometers per second in the earth's crust to as much as 13 kilometers per second in the deep mantle. Some waves that go downward and reflect up off the earth's core may actually arrive before the waves that go in a straight line!A rough approximation says that someone 50 miles away would feel the vibrations between 6 and 40 seconds later.A+ls: before the other person

Why might a magnitude 7 earthquake have less intensity than a magnitude 6 earthquake?

There are many factors. One would be the distance a person is from the epicenter. A person who is further from a magnitude 7 earthquake would be less affected by the shockwaves than a person nearer to the epicenter of a magnitude 6 earthquake. The place the person is in at the time of the earthquake also may affect the intensity of what he feels. If one is in a tall and stable building during an earthquake, he would not feel the vibrations as much as one standing on the streets. The scale measuring the intensity of earthquakes should be considered too. A Mercalli Intensity Scale measuring magnitude 6 may possibly be more powerful than a Richter Scale measuring a magnitude 7, as more damage is caused.
