I live in CA and the San Andreas fault runs through the state so we have earthquakes every so often. Frankly, you don't think much about it. We have drills in schools about what to do and where to go if one should happen and people know that you get to an open space once the movement stops . Doorways are good places to stand while one is happening. I have been through several fairly strong quakes and expect to be in several others.
What else can I help you with?
When do you feel an earthquake?
You can feel a earthquake when you can feel the floor start to vibrate. You can also feel it because you feel lots of pressure coming down on you,and your body can feel that. Some people even feel a earthquake from a mile away.
Can you feel seismic waves if you are sitting on the floor during an earthquaKE?
maybe; the more powerful the earthquake, the more likely you are to feel it.
Does everyone feel an earthquake?
Not everyone, no. Earthquakes happen in certain areas and only those areas will feel it. Of course it depends on how strong the earthquake is.
Would you feel an earthquake if you were a kilometer away?
It depends on the magnitude.
Can you feel and earthquake while boating?

Was the Japan earthquake felt in Florida?

They can actually feel the earthquake.

intensity
How far away can you feel a 4.5 earthquake from its epicenter?
The distance at which you can feel a 4.5 earthquake from its epicenter varies depending on factors like the depth of the quake and the local geology. Generally, people can feel a 4.5 earthquake within about 30-50 miles from the epicenter.
Can you feel an earthquake on the first floor everyone i know who is living on the second floor and higher felt the earthquake but i live on the first floor and felt nothing?
Yes, it is possible to not feel an earthquake on the first floor while others on higher floors do feel it. The perception of earthquakes can vary depending on the building's structure, proximity to the epicenter, and personal sensitivity. In some cases, people on the lower floors may not sense smaller tremors as strongly as those on higher floors.
What is the area along the fault where an earthquake begins?
The area along the fault where an earthquake begins is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the point within the Earth where the seismic energy is first released, generating seismic waves that cause the ground shaking we feel during an earthquake.
What force to people feel when two plates jerk in to position f volcano g tsunami h hurricane or i earthquake?
During an earthquake, people can feel the force of the plates shifting against each other, causing shaking of the ground. This can result in a variety of sensations, including swaying, rocking, or jolting motions depending on the earthquake's magnitude and distance from the epicenter.
The degree to which people feel an earthquake and the amount of damage it causes is called?
The degree to which people feel an earthquake is called its intensity, while the amount of damage it causes is known as its magnitude. Intensity is based on human observations and perception, whereas magnitude is measured by seismographs and represents the energy released by the earthquake.
What is the degree to which people feel an earthquake and how much damage it cause called?
The degree to which people feel an earthquake is referred to as its intensity, typically measured using the Modified Mercalli Scale. The amount of damage an earthquake causes is known as its magnitude, often measured using the Richter Scale or moment magnitude scale.
Why do people live in Kobe after the earthquake?
People live in Kobe after the earthquake because they believe that the impacts of future earthquakes will be reduced. They think this because they have been introduced to the 'Earthquake Emergency Plan'.
