What else can I help you with?
What are the studies of earthquakes and seismic waves?
Seismology
What are seismic waves and what information information do they give about earthquakes?
Earthquakes are when the seismic plates on the earths crust move after pressure from on another is exceeded, seismic waves are produced after an earthquake, and can turn into a tsunami.
How is energy released during earthquakes travels in seismic waves?
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
What earthquakes waves are the fastest?
P or Primary waves are the fastest earthquake or seismic waves.
What occurs when they are seismic waves travelling on Earth's crust?
Earthquakes
Why do we record seismic waves?
To try to predict earthquakes, and get advanced warning of them.
What are seismic waves associated with?
Seismic waves are associated with earthquakes.
What produces a record of seismic waves?
A seismograph is an instrument that produces a record of seismic waves by detecting and measuring the vibrations caused by earthquakes or other seismic events. It consists of a seismometer to detect ground motion and a recording device to produce a trace of the detected seismic waves.
What do you call an instrument used to detect and record earthquakes?
Seismometer (or seismograph) and it measure seismic waves
What equipment is used for measuring earthquakes?
seismometer, also known as a seismograph. which record seismic waves
What are the waves that you normally have in earthquakes?
Seismic waves
What are waves produces by earthquakes called?
The waves produced by earthquakes are called seismic waves.
What waves does an earthquake do?
Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes
What device is used to record seismic waves?
A seismometer or seismograph is a device used to record seismic waves generated by earthquakes or other sources. It detects and measures the vibrations caused by these waves, providing valuable data for studying the Earth's interior and understanding seismic activity.
What waves are there for earthquakes?
Primary waves, Secondary waves, and Seismic waves
What do seismic waves create?
earthquakes
Can there be a seismic wave without having an earthquake?
It is possible to have a seismic wave without having an earthquake. Any wave moving through the ground is a seismic wave, and all earthquakes are seismic waves. But seismic waves can be created by volcanic action, landslides, meteor strikes or the like. Though all earthquakes are seismic waves, not all seismic waves are earthquakes.
