How does an ocean earthquake work?

An oceanic earthquake works almost similar to any earthquake on land. In an underwater earthquake, the seafloor moves, causing vibrations in the ground and shockwaves. When near land, these tremors can be felt. Depending on the magnitude and the type of plate boundary (convergent, transform or divergent), it can cause tsunamis.


How do you know where earthquakes occur?

they tend to occur between two plate tectonics.As well, by studying the magnitude of their shockwaves from different distances and locations, the direction of the force waves can be traced back to where the meet at the origin of the earthquake.

How does fault produce earthquake?

It suddenly slips when the stress across it becomes too high, which produces a sudden series of shockwaves that radiate in all directions from the fault through the surrounding rock. The earthquake you feel happens when these shockwaves reach the surface.


What are devises used to know the intensity and magnitude of earthquake?

Those devices are called Seismometer's. They are used to measure seismic shockwaves ( earthquake's)


You want to use shockwaves in small sentences?

The passing jet's shockwaves almost knocked me down. An earthquake's aftershocks are a type of shockwave. Shockwave? What shockwave? I didn't feel any shockwave.


What is an epicenter and how do shockwaves produced an earthquake travel?

The epicenter is directly above the point where an earthquake originated. Shock waves are produced and propagate spherically along the epicenter.

What caused The Dudley earthquake?

The African Plate moving over the Eurasian plate created a tremor along the fault line. Because the Focus of the Earthquake was underwater it quickly spread out, and the shockwaves flew rapidly underwater and over the west coast of England.

What is emitted mainly during a nuclear detonation?

Shockwaves and thermal radiation are mainly emiited in a nuclear detonation. When the nuclear blasts hits the ground, kinetic energy from the impact will be released, similar to an earthquake, causing shockwaves. Thermal radiation, or electromagnetic radiation, a result of energy released from the nuclear reaction of two nitrogen atoms forming a carbon and an oxygen atom, causes fires, thermal burns and blindness.
