Why the stronger the earthquake the greater the loss of life?
cause earthquakes happen a few seconds up to minutes and the aftermath or aftershocks could collapsed buildings destroy homes create tsunamis or volcanoes cause of the impact of earthquakes
Effects of earthquake on building frame?
Buildings are designed to resist loads in specific orientations. The largest load a building will normally experience and be designed to resist is it's own self weight. This will normally act vertically downwards through the building. Seismic waves introduce a significant non vertical component to this loading (whether that be shaking side to side as a result of Love Waves or the rolling motion caused by Rayligh waves) which creates torsional (twisting), shearing and bending stresses that the building would never normally experience. This can exceed the strength of the structure and cause portions of it to fail or even collapse.
How do earthquakes cause deformed ground surface?
There are a few ways this can happen. First, earthquakes are associated with movement along faults. This movement can alter the surface terrain. The shaking of an earthquake can also cause wet soil and sediment to behave like a liquid.
What causes a 2001 Saturn SC1 to shake or vibrate occasionally?
Low pressure in the tires can cause shaking, the alignment can cause shaking also.
How can an earthquake in one place cause damage in another place far away?
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.
Violent shaking from an earthquake can cause soil and rock on slopes to move and cause a?
landslide. The shaking reduces the friction between the soil and rock layers, making them more susceptible to sliding downhill. This can result in dangerous and destructive movement of material that can impact lives and infrastructure.
What is the process in which shaking causes soil to act like a liquid?
Violent shaking can cause certain soils to flow. The shaking results from a nearby earthquake.
What connections are their between earthquake and tsunami?
Earthquakes are natural phenomena that cause a sudden and violent shaking of the ground. An earthquake at sea often causes a tsunami, which is a big tidal wave.
Can shaking during an earthquake cause significant damage to buildings and infrastructure?
Yes, shaking during an earthquake can cause significant damage to buildings and infrastructure.
What does the shaking of an earthquake cause on hillsides?
it causes land slides
Why is there noise with an earthquake?
The movment does cause the rattle of buildings shaking as well.
What is the probable cause of heart shake?
violent storm shaking the living tree
Does shaking of the earth cause any damage?
Yes. A shaking of the earth is call an earthquake. In some cases earthquakes can be absolutely devastating.
What might happen if there was an earthquake near a mountain?
If there is an earthquake near a mountain, the shaking can trigger landslides, rockfalls, and avalanches on the mountain slopes. The earthquake can also cause the formation of cracks or fractures in the mountain, potentially leading to increased instability in the area.
Why could a place nearer the epicenter experience more violent shaking the earth that a place farther away from it?
This is the point on the earth's surface directly above the hypocentre of the earthquake. As such the seismic waves have traveled a minimum distance and so there has been a minimum dissipation of energy. This means they have retained the majority of their energy and so are able to cause the most damage.
Can a baby get shaken baby syndrome from earthquake?
No. The type of shaking in an earthquake is not the same as the type needed to cause shaken baby syndrome.
Why tsunami happened in Japan?
The tsunami in Japan occurred because when the tectonic plates under ground move they cause an earthquake. Sometimes an earthquake can cause a tsunami from shaking underwater.
