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 is the sudden shaking of the earth that often causes a lot of damage?
An earthquake is a shaking of the ground caused by shifts in the tectonic plates as they move against each other.
What are earth qakes?
when the ground starts to brake and houses start to clapes into piles of ruble
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 shaking of the ground that precedes an earthquake?
Tremors
How do you measure earthquakes winds?
You don't. An earthquake is the shaking of the ground. It does not produce wind.
What caused the ground the shake so strongly and how is shaking recorded?
The Liquefaction dryed up and turned to clay
What caused the ground to shake so strongly and how is shaking recorded in christchurch?
Ground shaking is caused by an earthquake which is two tectonic plates that rub against eachother or overlap The magnitude of most earthquakes is measured on a ricture scale the magnitude is calculated by the ampline.
What caused the ground to shake so strongly?
you won!
What shaking of the earth caused by the release of energy is a?
An earthquake is shaking of the earth caused by the release of energy from within the Earth's crust. It occurs when there is a sudden slip along a fault line, resulting in ground shaking and sometimes surface rupture.
What is the sudden shaking of the earth that often causes a lot of damage?
An earthquake is a shaking of the ground caused by shifts in the tectonic plates as they move against each other.
This is used to record the shaking?
A seismograph is used to record shaking or vibrations in the Earth's crust. It consists of a sensitive instrument that detects ground motion caused by seismic waves during an earthquake. The information recorded by a seismograph helps scientists determine the location, intensity, and duration of an earthquake.
What is the shaking of the ground from energy?
The shaking of the ground caused by energy release is known as an earthquake. This release of energy occurs due to tectonic plate movements beneath the Earth's surface, resulting in seismic waves that propagate through the Earth, causing shaking and potentially resulting in damage to structures.

A shaking of the ground caused by the sudden movement of large blocks of rock along a fault?
Sounds suspiciously like an earthquake. Indeed, it is.
A shaking of the ground caused by the sudden movement of large blocks of rock along a fault.?
That's called an earthquake.
Are ground shaking events caused when pressure that has built up underground and along geologic faults is suddenly and violently released?
earthquakes
Why are earthquakes called earthquakes?
Earthquakes are called so because they are caused by the shaking of the ground due to the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. The term "earth" refers to the ground, and "quake" refers to shaking or trembling, thus combining to describe the natural phenomenon.
