What kind of earthquake happened in Haiti?
There was a big earthquake in 2010 in Haiti. The earthquake was 7.0
What kind of earthquake waves are their?
seismic
What kind of earthquake is the san Andreas earthquake?
sometimes caues earthquakes in the pacifi coastal piains
What words are used to describe an earthquake of magnitude 5 to 7?
That would be a "kind of strong" earthquake but 8+ is huge.
A kind of scale used to measure the measure the amount of seismic energy released by an earthquake?
Seismometers measure the amplitude of seismic waves as well as the velocity and acceleration of the grounds surface. This allows seismologists to estimate the magnitude of an earthquake (the amount of energy released). From the energy emission per unit time they can estimate the power of the earthquake.
How hard does an earthquake hit a city?
Depends on the strength of the Earthquake, the distance between the center of the quake and the city, the kind of soil the city is built on and how well the city is built.
Can you measure earthquake?
Yes, With a really big ruler? No, not quite. There are two ways in which scientists quantify the size of earthquakes: magnitude and intensity. Magnitude is a measure of the amount of energy released during an earthquake, and you've probably heard news reports about earthquake magnitudes measured using the Richter scale. Something like, "A magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck Japan today. Details at ten." Did you ever wonder why, if it's that important, they just don't tell you right away? The Richter scale was invented, logically enough, in the 1930s by Dr. Charles Richter, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology. It is a measure of the largest seismic wave recorded on a particular kind of seismograph located 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) from the epicenter of the earthquake.
What kind of tool do a scientists use when they want to figure out how strong a tornado is?
Usually scientists do not use any tool to determine how strong a tornado is. Usually the strength of a tornado is determined based on the severity of damage it causes. Occasionally wind speed measurements are obtained using Doppler radar, but such measurements are rare.
What is the kind of earthquake released during an earthquake?
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
What kind of earthquake happened in Haiti?
There was a big earthquake in 2010 in Haiti. The earthquake was 7.0
What kind of scal used to measure the amount of seismic energy released by an earthquake?
The Richter scale is commonly used to measure the amount of seismic energy released by an earthquake. It quantifies the magnitude of an earthquake based on the amplitude of seismic waves recorded by seismographs. Another scale, the Moment Magnitude Scale (Mw), is often used for larger earthquakes, providing a more accurate measure by considering factors like the fault area and the amount of slip. Both scales help in understanding the potential impact of an earthquake.
What kind of damage did the famous earthquake did?
The earthquake damaged your grammer :P
What kind of earthquake waves are their?
seismic
What kind of material would be prone to liquefaction during an earthquake?
Loose, saturated sandy soils with poor drainage are prone to liquefaction during an earthquake. When these soils are shaken by an earthquake, the water-saturated particles lose their strength and behave like a liquid, leading to ground instability and potential damage to structures.
What kind of scale is used to measure the amount of seismic energy released by an earthquake?
Magnitude scales are used to assess the amoiunt of energy relaed by an earthquake. For small and medium strength earthquakes (less than magnitude 7.0) the Richter scale is used. For larger earthquakes than this, the moment magnitude scale is used.
What kind of earthquake was the kashmir earthquake?
The Eurasian and the Indian tectonic plates had collided, which means that it was the Passive Earthquake also known as the Conservative.
What measures earthquake's?
The Richter scale was invented, logically enough, in the 1930s by Dr. Charles Richter, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology. It is a measure of the largest seismic wave recorded on a particular kind of seismograph located 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) from the epicenter of the earthquake.
