What are the seismic waves of the Earth's crust?
Rock under stress breaks at the focus, releasing energy and vibrations called seismic waves, which travel away from the focus, through Earth's interior, and across the surface. The three types of seismic waves are: Primary waves: The first to arrive at seismographs Secondary waves: The second to arrive at seismographs Surface waves: The last and most severe to arrive at seismographs
How can earthquakes be planned for?
Move away from a fault line.
How does society respond to earthquakes?
becuase it does now go away
What is the difference between a seismograph and the Richter scale?
Seismic waves are the vibrations from earthquakes that travel through the Earth; they are recorded on instruments called seismographs. Seismographs record a zig-zag trace that shows the varying amplitude of ground oscillations beneath the instrument. Sensitive seismographs, which greatly magnify these ground motions, can detect strong earthquakes from sources anywhere in the world. The time, locations, and magnitude of an earthquake can be determined from the data recorded by seismograph stations. The Richter magnitude scale was developed in 1935 by Charles F. Richter of the California Institute of Technology as a mathematical device to compare the size of earthquakes. The magnitude of an earthquake is determined from the logarithm of the amplitude of waves recorded by seismographs.
What is one theory of how earthquakes can occur away from lithospheric plate boundaries?
I don't know?
Why can you feel earthquakes hundreds of miles away?
You can feel earthquakes hundreds of miles away because seismic waves travel through the Earth's crust and are able to cause vibrations in the ground that can be felt at a distance. The intensity of the shaking will decrease the further you are from the earthquake's epicenter.
What direction do seismic waves move?
Seismic waves move in all directions away from the point of earthquake origin, traveling through the Earth's interior in a wave-like pattern. The waves can be categorized as body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the Earth's interior and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.
Why can you feel earthquakes miles away?
You can feel earthquakes miles away because seismic waves produced by the earthquake travel through the Earth's crust and can be felt at the surface. These waves can travel long distances and are strong enough to be detected by people even at a distance from the epicenter of the earthquake.
Why can we feel earthquakes hundreds of miles away?
The intensity of earthquakes is very high. So it can be felt hundreds of miles away.

When was Seven Waves Away created?
Seven Waves Away was created on 1957-04-17.
How are gravitational waves are caused?
Gravitational waves are caused by the acceleration of massive objects, such as when two black holes merge or when two neutron stars collide. As these objects move in spacetime, they create ripples that propagate outward at the speed of light, carrying energy away from the system. These ripples are what we observe as gravitational waves.
Why does an earthquakes damage decrease the further away you are?
Energy in seismic waves is lost as they travel through the ground. As such the further they travel from the epicentre of the earthquake, the greater the energy loss and the less damage they can do.
When a streched string is released the potential energy is converted to?
When a stretched string is released, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the string vibrates. The string's vibrations create sound waves, which carry energy away in the form of sound.
How can earthquakes be planned for?
Move away from a fault line.
What some types of earthquakes?
There are no kinds of earthquakes, but types of body and surface waves that are basically the body of the earthquake.There are Primary and Secondary (P and S waves), which are body waves, and can only go through the 'body' of the earth.Surface waves (Raleigh and Love waves) only occur on the surface (hence the title 'surface waves'). Surface waves cause the most damage.
Is England far away from Earthquakes?
Although England is not a hot spot for earthquakes, there could possibly be the occurrence of one there.
