A seismic activity is an earthquake... An earthquake is when the tectonic plates (under ground) clash together, which causes an earthquake. Earthquakes can be very small or huge depending on where the country is. They can kill thousands of people, knock down buildings and create huge cracks in the ground. They are measured on a Richter scale. :)

What is the primary cause of earthquake activity in California?
Seismic waves
How is an area's earthquake-hazard level determined?
By past and present seismic activity. - TheGoldDigger1.0
What is seismic shaking-?
"Seismic" refers to an earthquake, so seismic shaking is the shaking motion of the earth (and things on it) caused by an earthquake. There are different waves that emanate from the hypocenter, or point of origin.
What kind of earthquake waves are their?
seismic
Where a major earthquake has happened in the past but not in a while is called a seismic?
Seismic gap.
What is the point on earths surface where the seismic activity is strongest in an earthquake?
The vibrations of a earthquake are strongest where the falt line is.
Can you predict an earthquake through a lack of seismic activity?
yes.

How is an area's earthquake hazard level determined?
An areas earthquake -hazard level is determined by past and present seismic activity
Does air temperature affect earthquake strength?
no. climate and seismic activity have no connection whatsoever

What is the shadow zone caused by?
A shadow zone is caused by an earthquake. It is a region that is far away from the epicenter of the earthquake where seismic activity is minimized or not present.
What indicates an upcoming earthquake?
There are several things that may indicate an upcoming earthquake. Swarms, seismic activity, small tremors are the main indicators.
What do scientists call an area along fault where no earthquake activity has occured for a long time?
a seismic gap
Is an earthquake considered weather?
No. Earthquakes are considered to be seismic activity. This is a branch of geophysics rather than meteorology.
What are natural causes of an earthquake?
The movement of the earth's crust and the plate boundaries, cause seismic activity, which causes the earth to rumble, causing the feel of an 'earthquake'.
