What is an afterslip?
An afterslip is a non-violent movement of the ground following an earthquake.
What is the violent shaking of an earthquake that turns soft soil into liquid mud?
liquefaction
Violent shaking from an earthquake can cause soil and rock on slopes to fail and cause a?
landslide
You may have heard of tornado weather and there is certainly hurricane weather but what about earthquake weather Do you believe what they tell you here?
There is no such thing as "earthquake weather." Tornadoes and hurricanes are both violent storms and therefore forms of extreme weather. Earthquakes are geologic events and are not weather-related.
Effects of earthquake on building frame?
Buildings are designed to resist loads in specific orientations. The largest load a building will normally experience and be designed to resist is it's own self weight. This will normally act vertically downwards through the building. Seismic waves introduce a significant non vertical component to this loading (whether that be shaking side to side as a result of Love Waves or the rolling motion caused by Rayligh waves) which creates torsional (twisting), shearing and bending stresses that the building would never normally experience. This can exceed the strength of the structure and cause portions of it to fail or even collapse.
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 will two seismograms one close by the epicenter and one further away be different?
The seismograph taken at the epicenter will experience more rapid shaking because it is on the epicenter. The seismograph take further away from the epicenter will experience less violent shaking.
Why could a place nearer the epicenter experience more violent shaking the earth that a place farther away from it?
This is the point on the earth's surface directly above the hypocentre of the earthquake. As such the seismic waves have traveled a minimum distance and so there has been a minimum dissipation of energy. This means they have retained the majority of their energy and so are able to cause the most damage.
Why would a place nearer the epicenter experience more violent shaking of the earth?

What is an earthquake and situations that earthquakes occur?
An earthquake is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, it is caused by movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.
What part of speech is earthquake?
Earthquake is a noun. It refers to a sudden and violent shaking of the ground caused by movements within the earth's crust.
Does the most violent shaking occur at the epicenter?
Yes
How can energy released at an earthquake's focus deep inside Earth can cause damage on the surface many kilometers from the epicenter?
The energy of the seismic waves that reach the surface is greatest at the epicenter. The most violent shaking during an earthquake however may occur kilometers away from the epicenter. The types of rock and soil around the epicenter determine where and how much the ground shakes.
How are faults and epicenters related?
The violent shaking and destruction associated with earthquakes are the result of rupture and slippage along fractures in Earth's crust called faults. Larger quakes result from the rupture of larger fault segments. The origin of an earthquake occurs at depths between 5 and 700 kilometers, at the focus(foci = a point). The point at the surface directly above the focus is called the epicenter.
What is violent moving of the Earth?
The violent moving of the Earth is an Earthquake.
What is a violent movement of earth?
an earthquake
