What could have caused the Kalgoorlie earthquake?
Platelets in the earth shifting beneath the ground.
A shaking of the ground caused by the sudden movement of large blocks of rock along a fault.?
That's called an earthquake.
What is a ground movement caused by a release of energy when rocks along a fault move?
Earthquake
Is earthquake is also called tsunami?
No, an earthquake is a sudden shift in tectonic plates caused by built up pressure. This cause the Ground to shake. A Tsunami is a giant wave. Tsunamis can be caused by an earthquake happening under the ocean
What caused the ground to shakes so strongly and how is shaking recorded?
The ground shaking is caused by an earthquake in which two tectonic plates rub against each other or overlap. This happens mainly on fault lines (where two tectonic plates shift). The ancient Chinese used a system in which a ball would be in a carved Dragons mouth and depending on how big the earthquake was (how much shaking and destruction) the ball would fall into certain cups. Now we use seismographs.
What caused the ground to shake so strongly?

What caused the ground to shake so strongly in the christchurch 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 are Cracks in the ground caused by earthquakes called?
cracks in the ground caused by earthquakesFaults. Cracks in the earths crust usually caused by earthquakes are called faults.No, their not! Faults are to do with tectonic plates, earthquake cracks are called earthquake cracks.
A large crack in the ground is a?
A large crack in the ground is called a fault which is caused by and earthquake.
What could have caused the Kalgoorlie earthquake?
Platelets in the earth shifting beneath the ground.
What measures how much ground movement during an earthquake?
Seismometers measure ground movement during an earthquake. These instruments detect and record the vibrations caused by the seismic waves generated by the earthquake.
A shaking of the ground caused by the sudden movement of large blocks of rock along a fault.?
That's called an earthquake.
What is the sinking of ground caused by earthquake vibrations called?
The sinking of ground caused by earthquake vibrations is called soil liquefaction. It occurs when loose, water-saturated soil temporarily loses its strength and stiffness due to the shaking from an earthquake, causing it to behave like a liquid.
What type of earthquake did Haiti suffer?
It was a conservative earthquake caused by tectonic plates under ground, that rub together to make friction.
What is a ground movement caused by a release of energy when rocks along a fault move?
Earthquake
Why is a earthquake called a earthquake?
An earthquake is called so because it describes the shaking of the ground caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust. The term "earthquake" combines "earth," referring to the ground, and "quake," which means to shake or tremble.
Is earthquake is also called tsunami?
No, an earthquake is a sudden shift in tectonic plates caused by built up pressure. This cause the Ground to shake. A Tsunami is a giant wave. Tsunamis can be caused by an earthquake happening under the ocean
