its where it started from so there is going to be more pressure there
What else can I help you with?
Why is earthquake risk greater on filled land with soft ground than so solid bedrock?
Soft sediment tends to make shaking in an earthquake worse. It is rather like shaking a bowl of jello.
What is seismic shaking-?
"Seismic" refers to an earthquake, so seismic shaking is the shaking motion of the earth (and things on it) caused by an earthquake. There are different waves that emanate from the hypocenter, or point of origin.
What is the shaking of the ground that precedes an earthquake?
Tremors
What is the name of the machine that rates the amount of shaking from an earthquake?
It is a seismomiter.
Why the stronger the earthquake the greater the loss of life?
cause earthquakes happen a few seconds up to minutes and the aftermath or aftershocks could collapsed buildings destroy homes create tsunamis or volcanoes cause of the impact of earthquakes
When an earthquake occurs is shaking greater?
Yes, shaking is a primary characteristic of earthquakes
When an earthquake accurs where could shaking be greater?
Above epicenter.

How much more powerful is a 9.0 earthquake and a 7.0 earthquake?
A 9.0 earthquake is 1,000 times more powerful than a 7.0 earthquake in terms of energy release. This difference results in significantly greater damage potential, as the intensity of shaking and the area affected also increase with the magnitude.
What does it mean when your shaking?
There is an earthquake
How much greater is a magnitude 7.0 earthquake over a 6.0 earthquake?
The magnitude of an earthquake is measured on a logarithmic scale, so a magnitude 7.0 earthquake is 10 times stronger than a magnitude 6.0 earthquake in terms of the energy released. This means that the amplitude of ground shaking in a magnitude 7.0 earthquake would be significantly greater than in a magnitude 6.0 earthquake.
Who would feel the ground shaking first in an earthquake?
i depends where the earthquake is.
The amount of shaking produced by an earthquake at a given location is called the?
The amount of shaking produced by an earthquake at a given location is called the intensity. It is measured on the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, which quantifies the level of shaking experienced by people and structures during an earthquake.
During an earthquake the most violent shaking occurs at what location?
The most violent shaking during an earthquake typically occurs closest to the earthquake's epicenter, where the seismic waves are strongest. As you move further away from the epicenter, the shaking intensity decreases.
Where does the most violent shaking occur at during an earthquake?
At the epicentre which, is the central point from which it originates.
How do you know when the earthquake starts?
You can feel the ground shaking, objects shaking or rattling, hear a rumbling noise, or see items swaying. These are common signs that an earthquake has started.
