The Primary or P-wave which is a type of compression or longitudinal wave travels with a push and pull movement.
push-pull tape rule
A earthquake can push the plates underwater and be forced up quckily.This pushes the water up rapidly and creates a tsunami.
There are three different types of earthquake.TectonicvolcanicMan maidThere are 3 kinds of earthquakes. One where the plates push together, another where the plates slide against each other, and one where the plates pull apart.
Push factors: Famine, Draught, Natural disasters Poor Living conditions Low income Pull factors: High income Good living conditions
seismic waves that puch copmpress and pull in the diection thta waves travel
Earthquakes originate at fault lines. These are areas of the earth's crust that push together or pull apart at times. When they pull apart or push together they create movement. We call that movement an earthquake.
earthquake
The fastest waves produced by an earthquake are called P-waves, or primary waves, that push and pull the ground in the direction of their movement. These waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases and are the first to be detected by seismographs during an earthquake event.
not push only pull or contract

Force
because other factors as shown in that could play a role in plate movement are ridge-push and slab-pull.
It is generally easier to pull an object than to push it. Pulling allows for better leverage and control over the object's movement.
A force can be made bye a push or a pull or some movement
the theory of plate tectonics is that subduction occures on the edges of the tectonic plates creating a movement. When the tectonic plates push or pull apart with enough pressure an earthquake starts. That is why California has major earth quakes. The pacific plate is grinding California in a horizontal movement. Once the pressure is released a tsunami could happen.
A push or pull that acts on an object is a force.
