Right at top of the epicenter, the greatest shaking felt. It also depend on the types of soil. If the soil is soft then the intensity is amplified and where the soil is hard the intensity is damped.
What else can I help you with?
Where is shaking be greater if there is an earthquake?
its where it started from so there is going to be more pressure there
Who were the first settlers in the US that felt an earthquake?
probably the New Madrid, MO earthquake of December 1811.
Where was the last earthquake in New jersey?
no ther wasnt an earthquake that i know of in jersey city but there was an aftershock from an earthquake from virginia felt in jersey city. the aftershock was in august 2011 but not sure what date. i think it was the 28. i know this because i actually felt it :)
What time was the earthquake in haiti?
It depends on your connotation of "earthquake." If by earthquake you mean just the period when the earth's motion can be traced to a specific event, the Hatian earthquake lasted about 45 seconds. If however, you mean the period between when the earth's motion caused damage and when that damage is no longer felt in the live of the all people affected by it, the earthquake is still ongoing. Many Hatian people live in tents away from cities and are out of work. Many have had their homes completely desroyed while others have homes still standing with damage and the owners fear if they return another earthquake will cause a collapse.
When was the last Kansas Earthquake?
The last Kansas earthquake was in 2011, the epicenter was in Sparks,Oklahoma. It was 5.6 magnitude earthquake which could be felt as far north as Salina in Kansas. The quake hit at 10:53pm on November 6, 2011.
Where is the greatest motion felt on the surface during an earthquake?
Right at top of the epicenter, the greatest shaking felt. It also depend on the types of soil. If the soil is soft then the intensity is amplified and where the soil is hard the intensity is damped.
During an earthquake where is the greatest motion felt on the surface?
Right at top of the epicenter, the greatest shaking felt. It also depend on the types of soil. If the soil is soft then the intensity is amplified and where the soil is hard the intensity is damped.
What is the focus and epicenter of an earthquake?
The focus of an earthquake is the point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs.The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's starting point, or focus.
Where is shaking be greater if there is an earthquake?
its where it started from so there is going to be more pressure there
What Is The place on the surface directly above earthquake focus?
The place on the surface directly above the earthquake focus is called the epicenter. It is generally the point on the Earth's surface where the earthquake is most strongly felt and where the seismic waves originate.
What is the definition of epicenter and focus?
The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake, where the seismic waves are most strongly felt. The focus, or hypocenter, is the actual location underground where the earthquake originates.
What is the location on the surface directly above the earthquake fous?
The location on the Earth's surface directly above the earthquake focus is referred to as the epicenter. This is the point where seismic waves originating from the earthquake focus first reach the surface. It is usually where the strongest shaking is felt during an earthquake.
Underground center of an earthquake?
Earthquakes occur underground and are felt on the surface. The center of an earthquake on the surface is called the epicenter, and the center of the earthquake underground, where it occurs, is called the hypocenter or focus.
What ype of wave affect the surface of the land by causing it to rise and fall like waves on an ocean?
Seismic waves, specifically surface waves such as Love and Rayleigh waves, are responsible for causing the surface of the land to rise and fall during an earthquake. These waves travel along the Earth's surface and can produce the shaking and rolling motion that is felt during seismic events.
What are intense vibrations felt throughout Earth's crust during an earthquake called?
Intense vibrations felt throughout Earth's crust during an earthquake are called seismic waves. These waves are responsible for shaking and transmitting energy through the Earth's layers, leading to the ground motion experienced during an earthquake.
What are the characteristics and effects of love waves in seismology?
Love waves are a type of surface seismic wave that move in a horizontal, side-to-side motion. They are the second fastest seismic waves and can cause significant shaking during an earthquake. Love waves are known for causing the most damage to buildings and structures because of their horizontal motion. They are also capable of traveling long distances and can be felt far from the earthquake's epicenter.
Is the focus of an earthquake the where the movement first occurs?
No, the focus of an earthquake refers to the point below the Earth's surface where the energy is released, initiating the rupture of the fault. The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus where the earthquake's effects are most strongly felt.
