"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 does seismic mean?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
What can locate a seismic wave?
A seismograph can locate a seismic wave.
What seismic wave causes the most damage?
Seismic wave
Where a major earthquake has happened in the past but not in a while is called a seismic?
Seismic gap.
Violent shaking of the head what is it called?
Shaking baby syndrome
Seismic shaking is a msasure of?
Seismic waves are the vibrations from earthquakes that travel through the earths surface and is measured bye the shaking you feel.
Seismic wave influenced by source dimensions?
The seismic wave is influenced by the shaking source dimensions of all directions. This comes from the shaking of an earthquake.
How does a seismic wave relate to an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explotion.
What scale rates the size of seismic waves?
Most scientists use a machine called a seismograph which has a pen on the end and moves when there is shaking from the seismic waves. It records the shaking on a rotating paper called a seismogram. The up and down lines you see sometimes are drawn by the seismograph.
This energy is released by fault movement forms this?
The energy released by fault movement forms seismic waves.
What waves affect tall buildings more?
The seismic waves affect tall buildings more. It is because shaking may cause them to collide.
What are Seismic hazard maps used?
When building a house, regional seismic hazard maps are used to find the best (or the worst) place to locate for earthquake shaking. Although greatly confused with its sister, seismic risk, seismic hazard is the study of expected earthquake ground motions at any point on the earth.
Sudden stress changes in the Earth that cause ground shaking they occur at fault lines and near volcanic activity?
This is known as an earthquake or as seismic activity.
The sudden stress changes in the earth that cause ground shaking they occur at fault lines and near volcanic activities?
This is known as an earthquake or as seismic activity.
What name is given to sudden stress changes in the earth that cause ground shaking and occur at fault lines and near volcanic activity?
This is known as an earthquake or as seismic activity.
What is the slowest-moving most damaging seismic waves called?
L waves are the slowest moving of all waves, so the most intense shaking usually comes at the end of an earthquake.
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
