What are vibrations in earth caused by sudden movements of rock called?
Vibrations in the Earth caused by sudden movements of rock are called earthquakes. These movements typically occur along geological faults, where stress builds up until it is released, resulting in seismic waves that propagate through the Earth. The intensity and duration of these vibrations can vary, depending on the magnitude of the earthquake and the geological conditions.
Can the earth open if an earthquake occur?
Yes, there are possibilities of the Earth opening during an Earthquake.
What occur during an earthquake and can cause a lot of damage to homes and roads?
tr-m---
Can an earthquake occur in the ocean?
Yes. An earthquake may occur in the ocean.
How can you tell an earthquake is gonna happen?
No, they can't tell that it is a foreshock until a larger earthquake happens. (The largest main earthquake is called the mainshock)
What are the vibrations called when rocks break?
The vibrations that occur when rocks break are called seismic waves. These waves are generated by the sudden release of energy during rock fractures and can travel through the Earth, causing earthquakes.
After an earthquake additional adjustments can occur along the fault These adjustments can cause damaging vibrations called?
aftershocks. Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that can happen following the main earthquake as the fault adjusts to the stress changes from the initial seismic event.

Vibrations that occur when rocks break due to stress?
These vibrations are called seismic waves, which are produced when rocks along a fault break and release accumulated stress. Seismic waves travel through the Earth and can be detected by instruments called seismometers. This phenomenon is what causes earthquakes.
Can the earth open if an earthquake occur?
Yes, there are possibilities of the Earth opening during an Earthquake.
What are vibrations that occur when rocks break due to stress called?
Earthquakes
The number of vibrations that occur in 1 second is called?
The number of vibrations that occur in 1 second is called frequency. It is typically measured in hertz (Hz), where 1 Hz equals 1 vibration per second.
What are the tremors called that occur as an aftereffect of an earthquake?
These are known as aftershocks.
Where is the first motion of an earthquake occur?
It is called the epicenter which is the starting point.
What is the shaking of the ground that precedes an earthquake called?
The shaking of the ground that precedes an earthquake is called a foreshock. Foreshocks can occur hours, days, or even weeks before the main earthquake event.
Did liquefaction occur during the Haiti earthquake?
Yes, liquefaction did occur during the Haiti earthquake in 2010. Liquefaction happens when soil loses strength during shaking, causing it to behave like a liquid. This phenomenon can lead to devastating effects on infrastructure and buildings.
Why did an earthquake occur during the plate movement in Japan?
Hello,friends.I don't understand why not.
