What else can I help you with?
Will earthquakes ever stop?
They will Never stop. They are a natural thing, so therefore we cannot do anything about them.
How do triangle help in earthquakes?
Triangle structures a stable when it comes to earthquakes.
What are the special features of earthquakes and volcanoes?
the earthquakes special feature is that the land is splitting and a huge crack comes and splits the land. the volcanoes special feature is that the lava comes from the core and comes out of the hole of the volcano.
How long after an earthquake is the phenomenon of additional quakes considered an aftershock?
Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that occur after a larger event (the mainshock) in the same area. If an even larger earthquake occurs, then the original mainshock becomes a foreshock and the bigger event becomes the mainshock.
What time and day did the earthquake stopped?
Today is Friday, yesterday was Thursday, tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday comes after that, and the earthquake stopped after that...
Why was there so much damage to the Kobe earthquake?
Because they built wooden frame houses to withstand the earthquake, funnily enough, fire often comes with earthquakes.....
The science of earthquake comes from which greek word?
Science of earthquakes = seismology. 'Seismos' is the Greek word for Earthquake and Ology means 'the study of'.
Will earthquakes ever stop?
They will Never stop. They are a natural thing, so therefore we cannot do anything about them.
What are foreshocks and aftershocks?
An aftershock is an earthquake that comes after another, larger earthquake often within a few days.
Why are earthquakes Tsunami and landslides classified as natural disaster?
Earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides are classified as natural disasters because they are caused by natural processes like tectonic movements or extreme weather events. They can result in severe damage to property, infrastructure, and loss of life, making them significant events that require emergency response and preparedness strategies.
Is Pune in Maharashtra a earthquake prone area?
Pune comes under zone III of earthquakes. It is not prone to earthquakes as the belt of severe zone I passes from Gujrat. But, as 2012 is nearing, nothing can be predicted as the plates in the crust of earth are moving causing high risk.
What does the root word seismo mean?
it means Quake, as in seismograph, measure quakes like earthquakes. :)
How do triangle help in earthquakes?
Triangle structures a stable when it comes to earthquakes.
Do you mean that earthquake can't be predicted before it comes?
Correct, earthquakes cannot be reliably predicted in terms of when they will occur, where they will happen, and how large they will be. Scientists can forecast the likelihood of earthquakes in certain areas based on historical data and ongoing monitoring, but predicting specific times and locations remains a significant challenge.
Where is the earthquake came from?
Earthquakes come from the ground where a tectonic plate is either subdued (pushed under) another plate or breaks in half. When this happens a lot of energy is released shaking the ground. Volcanoes come from cracks in the earth. Underneath the crust, liquid rock (called magma) is stored in a magma chamber. when there is enough heat and pressure the top of the volcano blows off and magma is released. Once the magma is out of the volcano it is called lava.
How can scientists prevent people from earthquakes?
At this point, scientists don't prevent earthquakes. But their predictions may help minimize an earthquake's damaging and destructive effects. Advance warning may allow people to make their properties more earthquake resistant and may let appropriate organizations have emergency preparedness measures in place.
What compares and contrasts earthquakes and tsunamis?
Compare: 1.) They are both natural disasters. 2.) They can kill people. 3.) They are linked to plate tectonics. 4.) Sometimes, they happen together, especially undersea earthquake triggering a tsunami. Contrast: 1.) In the Hong Kong Observatory, there is no earth quake warning but there is tsunami warning. 2.) There is only one way which triggers an earthquake, but there are several ways that triggers a tsunami like undersea earthquake, undersea volcano, severe undersea landslide, etc. 3.) Earthquakes destroy buildings, tsunami don't. 4.) Earthquakes are measured in Richter scale while tsunami is measured in tsunami scale. 5.) Tsunami comes from a Japanese word meaning "harbour wave". 6.) Earthquakes are mostly unpredictable, but tsunamis are sometimes predictable. 7.) Earthquakes vary in intensity while tsunami vary in height. 8.) It's difficult to escape an earthquake but it's easy to escape a tsunami. 9.) Earthquakes are considered as the modest or worst natural disasters ever.
