What factors explained the location of an earthquake?
Get a life and move away were there is earthquakes ok now you can do the HW all by yourself get help were someone lives with you OK stupid
How does the data from the movements of seismic waves help geologists determine the earthquake risk for an area?
They Use a Ritcher Scale. I Got The Answer from of my Science Teacher Mr. Isaacson at Columbus Tustin Middle School he is The best of The best Even Though i Dont Really understand science he makes it easier for me to understand. :)
Did America help Japan when the earthquake hit?
yes
Why can earthquakes be a warning that a eruption is about to happen?
Movement of high pressure magma underground typically occurs before a volcanic eruption. This magma is under such a high pressure that it can cause hydraulic fracturing of the surrounding rocks and even bulging of the crust. Both these events will release seismic waves (cause earthquakes). All these data help geologists predict that an eruption is about to occur.
How can a brick or wood frame be modified to help it withstand an earthquake?
JOKES
What factor help geologists determine earthquake risk for a region?
The factors that help geologists determine for earthquake risk for religion are the movement of seismic waves along faults and friction.Hope this helped!
What factors help geologist determine earthquake risk for region?
The factors that help geologists determine for earthquake risk for religion are the movement of seismic waves along faults and friction.Hope this helped!
What two factors help geologists determine earthquake risk?
Geologists can determine earthquake risk by locating where faults are active and where past earthquakes have occured.
How does the theory of plate tectonics help geologists predict future geologists predict future geologic events?
it helps by being able to predict what happens by whT HAS HAPPENED B EFOR
How do the data from the movements of seismic waves help geologists determine the earthquake risk for an area?
If an area has a strong amount of seismic waves along, or around, you can predict if an area is active for earthquakes
How do P waves help geologists?
p waves help geologist by telling them if a earthquake is coming
How can collected data predict future earthquakes?
It gives them the information to predict the movements of the earthquake by the location it was in the time it hit and the damage it done so that data collected can help the data collectors predict where a future earthquake can and possibly hit.
What can help a geologist determine the earthquake risk for an area?
Geologists can determine the risk for an earthquake by measuring the seismic waves along faults as well as friction using a seismometer.
What can help predict when a volcano or earthquake will occur?
one way to predict when a volcano will occur is with the technology scientist use to determine when and where an eruption will occur.
When an earthquake occurs data from one seismograph can tell you what?
The waves of earthquakes help us determine information about the interior of the earth. The more geologists know about the interior of the earth, the better they can predict earthquakes and other changes in the formation of the Earth's crust.
What are the advantage of using the moment magnitude scale to measure an earthquake?
The data show what kinds of seismic waves the earthquake produced and how strong they were. The data also help geologists infer how much movement occurred along the fault and the strength of the rocks that broke when the fault slipped. Geologists use all this information to rate the quake on the moment magnitude scale.
How can geologists help people who live in areas that plates are known to be moving?
The best a geologist can do is be honest about the likelihood of an earthquake occurring in that region. They can also advise homebuilders in earthquake-safe design and construction, and offer tips for earthquake readiness in existing homes.
