Where earthquake waves travel faster whether in rock or water?
Faster in rock. the higher the density, the higher the speed.
How do people sense seismic waves?
They use the Richter scale to measure the speed of the earthquakes. Levels of earthquakes 2.0 ---> can't be felt 4.0 ---> do not cause damage 5.0---> can cause damage 6.0 ---> considered strong 7.0---> is a major earthquake +++ That is not correct. You have confused speed with intensity. The Richter scale, which is logarithmic, measures the intensity ("strength" if you like). The speed is measured in ordinary linear units like metre/second or km/hr, calculated from observing the earthquake's waves' progress past seismographs around the world.
What kind of earthquake happened in Haiti?
There was a big earthquake in 2010 in Haiti. The earthquake was 7.0
What is a small earthquake called?
earthquake aftershocks
What is an earthquake positions?
well if a earthquake happened the best thing to do is to go as far away as possiable from the earthquake
What was the speed of the earthquake in haiti?
2 MPH
How do you find the speed of an earthquake?
you can bye a speed transmitter and connect a cable onto your tv
How fast has the planet earth been spinning at different points in the past if the Chile earthquake caused the world to speed up?
The Chile earthquake did not make the Earth "speed up"
Did the recent earthquake in japan speed up the earths rotation?
No.
What is the fastest an earthquake can travel?
The speed of sound, it is different in different substances, but it is roughly equal to the speed of sound in rock.
What was the speed of the earthquake in Japan on March the 11?
The size of the March 2011 earthquake in Japan on Friday was an 8.9 but they may up it to a 9, there is talk of it.
What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 5km s and a frequency of 10 Hz?
Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (5,000) / (10) = 500 meters = 0.5 km.
Where earthquake waves travel faster whether in rock or water?
Faster in rock. the higher the density, the higher the speed.
What is fastest recorded speed of an earthquake?
Seismic wave velocity is mostly dependent on the material they travel through (things like magnitude do not affect wave velocity). As the earth is relatively uniform, there is virtually no deviation in earthquake 'speed'. (Wave velocity will differ depending on phase, depth, etc. - but that's different.)
Is a hurricane the most powerful natural disaster?
No. In terms of wind speed a tornado is the strongest. In terms of energy released and earthquake is the strongest.
How far away from the earthquake is the receiving station?
The distance of the receiving station from an earthquake epicenter can be determined by measuring the arrival times of seismic waves at the station and using that data to calculate the distance based on the known speed of the waves in the Earth's crust. The station can be hundreds to thousands of kilometers away from the earthquake epicenter, depending on the strength of the earthquake and the specific propagation paths of the seismic waves.
How did the Chile earthquake tipped the earth?
The Chile earthquake, powerful as it was, was not nearly powerful enough to tilt the earth. If you imagine a large bell in a cathedral and you hit that bell with a spoon, that is about the effect that an earthquake has on the earth as a whole. It caused some MAJOR destruction and caused Chile to pay millions for the damage, and many people were killed or injured.
