What else can I help you with?
Are focus waves vibrations that are released during an earthquake?
No, It's Seismic Waves.
When do seismic waves occur?
when an earthquake occurs
Which type of seismic waves will reach a nearby city first when an earthquake occurs?
Primary and secondary waves.
Which seismic wave type arrives first during an earthquake?
The P Waves. Then the S Waves.
During an earthquake do seismic waves move outward from the focus in all directions?
Yes, they do.
How is a focus of an earthquake related to seismic waves?
the bigger the waves the bigger the earthquake
What is the point on earths surface directly above an earthquake's focus called?
The point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus is called the epicenter. It is where the seismic waves originating from the earthquake's focus first reach the surface.
What type of wave can be used to determine the location of an earthquake focus?
Seismic waves can be used to determine the location of an earthquake focus. These waves are triggered by tectonic plates.
Are focus waves vibrations that are released during an earthquake?
No, It's Seismic Waves.
What does secondary waves and primary waves tell geologist?
how far away you are from the focus of an earthquake
When do seismic waves occur?
when an earthquake occurs
What is the underground point of an origin of an earthquake called?
The underground point of origin of an earthquake is called the hypocenter or focus. At this point, the seismic waves are first generated and then spread out in all directions, causing the shaking felt on the surface.
What is the location on the surface directly above the earthquake fous?
The location on the Earth's surface directly above the earthquake focus is referred to as the epicenter. This is the point where seismic waves originating from the earthquake focus first reach the surface. It is usually where the strongest shaking is felt during an earthquake.
What is the main idea of seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake?
Focus
Are p and s waves produced at the epicenter?
Primary (P) waves : Primary waves, the fastest wave sent , come from the focus not the epicenter. (S) waves : Secondary waves, the second fastest wave sent out by an earthquake, it comes from the focus also.
What is the place on earth27s surface directly above the point where movement first occurs in an earthquake called?
The place on Earth's surface directly above the point where movement first occurs in an earthquake is called the epicenter. This is the point on the surface located vertically above the earthquake's focus (or hypocenter), where the seismic waves originate.
What is the site of initial rupturing associated with an earthquake?
The site of initial rupturing associated with an earthquake is known as the focus or hypocenter. This is the point within the Earth where the energy is first released, generating seismic waves that cause the ground shaking we feel at the surface.
