How far away is Valdez from the source of the earthquake?
Valdez Alaska is on the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean from Japan.
What happens along a fault beneath earth's surface during an earthquake?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
Which type of seismic wave can be detected on the opposite side of earth from an earthquake?
P-waves as they are able to travel through the liquid outer core of the earth, where as S-waves are not.
What relationship exists between the epicenter of an earthquake and a fault?
If a tectonic boundary is active, then as the plates move in opposite directions, the crustal material is elastically bent until it can bend no more and each region of the plate snaps forward in its direction of motion. This causes an earthquake, with the epicenter where the material snapped forward. To help you visualize this, imagine pushing two rubber sheets against one another in opposite directions. Friction will keep the surfaces together as you move them until the lateral force overcomes the frictional force, and each sheet snaps forward suddenly.
What kind of earthquake happened in Haiti?
There was a big earthquake in 2010 in Haiti. The earthquake was 7.0
What is the antonyms of earthquake?
The antonyms of earthquake could be calm, stillness, or stability. These words convey the opposite idea of sudden shaking or movement of the ground.
How far away is Valdez from the source of the earthquake?
Valdez Alaska is on the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean from Japan.
Did the recent earthquake in Japan affect Korea?
No. The earthquake happened on the East side of Japan, and the Korean peninsula is opposite the Northwest coastline of the Japanese home islands.
What is it called when the earths plates slip past each other moving in opposite directions?
It's simply an earthquake.
Scientists on the side of Earth opposite the epicenter of an earthquake detect mainly?
Scientists on the side of Earth opposite the epicenter of an earthquake detect mainly secondary or S-waves, as primary or P-waves are unable to travel through the inner core of the Earth. S-waves are the slower of the two seismic waves and arrive after the initial P-wave, providing valuable information about the earthquake's location and magnitude.
Which type of seismic waves cannot be detected on the side of Earth opposite an earthquake?
Surface waves, such as Love waves or Rayleigh waves, are the seismic waves that cannot be detected on the side of Earth opposite an earthquake. These waves travel along the Earth's surface and are responsible for causing most of the damage during an earthquake.
Why no s waves are received on the side of the earth opposite the epicenter?
S-waves, or shear waves, cannot travel through liquids, which is why they are not detected on the side of the Earth opposite the earthquake's epicenter. The Earth's outer core is liquid, and when an earthquake occurs, S-waves are blocked by this liquid layer, creating an S-wave shadow zone. As a result, no S-waves are recorded by seismometers located on the far side of the Earth from the earthquake's origin.
Why can't s waves be measured on the opposite side of the earth from the epicenter of an earthquake?
S-waves are unable to travel through the liquid outer core of the Earth. When an earthquake occurs, S-waves are absorbed and blocked by the outer core, preventing them from reaching the opposite side of the Earth from the epicenter. This phenomenon is known as the S-wave shadow zone.
A possible result of plates moving along a transform boundary is?
earthquakes occurring as the plates slide past each other in opposite directions.
How doe a tsunami form?
A tsunami forms when an earthquake occurs underwater causing a massive wave to hurl toward the opposite direction of the subduction zone.
Where do you get the TM Earthquake in Pokemon Platiunm?
you can get it at the battle park shop or in wayward cave b1f then go through the caveand on the opposite side that you started there should be some stairs go up the stairs and there will be a poke ball vola earthquake hope i helped
