What earthquake magnitude will cause sever damage?
Above 8-9 magnitude can cause severe earthquake....
How can an earthquake cause many damages?
cause rocks fall!
What are the waves that cause am earthquake?
Siesmic
Would a large earthquake cause more damage than a small earthquake?
yes
Did the earthquake in Haiti cause a volcanic eruption?
No
Did anybody die in the 4.0 earthquake in California?
No, there were no reported deaths from the 4.0 earthquake in California. Earthquakes of this magnitude typically cause minimal damage and are unlikely to result in fatalities. It is recommended to stay prepared and follow safety protocols in case of any future seismic activity.
Can an earthquake actually cause parts of California to fall in the ocean?
No, it is not possible for an earthquake to cause parts of California to fall into the ocean. California is located on the North American Plate, which is not at risk of subduction beneath an adjacent plate. While earthquakes can cause coastal land to shift or sink, the idea of a significant portion of California falling into the ocean is purely a myth.
What methods are there to sure that California doesn't fall in an eartquake?
It is not possible for an earthquake to cause California to fall into the ocean. This is an urban myth.
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'.
Can california sink in a bad earthquake?
the entire state? no, its impossible. however in certain areas of california with water saturated sandy soils (often man made landfill soil) earthquake shaking can cause liquefaction, resulting in the sinking of objects on the surface into the ground.
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.
Can sound cause a earthquake?
No, sound itself cannot cause an earthquake. Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, usually as a result of tectonic plate movement or volcanic activity. Sound waves are different from seismic waves that cause earthquakes.
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 type of seismic activity happens in an earthquake?
During an earthquake, the primary seismic activity involves the release of accumulated stress along geological faults, resulting in the generation of seismic waves. These waves can be classified into primary (P) waves, which travel fastest and are compressional, and secondary (S) waves, which are slower and shear in nature. Additionally, surface waves, which move along the Earth's surface, often cause the most damage due to their amplitude and duration. This sudden release of energy causes the ground to shake, leading to various magnitudes of earthquakes.
Where two of the earth's plates meet in California movement of these plates can cause and earthquake?
The San-Andreas fault line.
Are aftershocks the primary or secondary effects of an earthquake?
The difference between them is that Primary effects happen during the earthquake e.g. Casualties, Damage to parking structures & free ways. But with Secondary effects they happen after an earthquake e.g. Fire, Landslides & Liquefaction
