What are the waves from an earthquake known as?
it is called the solar planet sunlight traveler sic check it up in ask . com
How does a strainmeter work?
a strain meter works by sensing when there is movement in the ground which means it is either an earthquake or maybe a volcano, normally a earthquake is sensed by shock-waves rather than normal movement.
What are known as s waves?
S waves, or Secondary waves, are earthquake waves during an earthquake. They crash after P waves ( Primary waves) and are less stronger than surface waves
How much of Japan was destroyed by the 2011 tsunami?
The 2011 Tsunami in JapanMost scientists reported that the 33ft (10m) Tsunami wave, triggered by a massive earthquake on March 11 measuring magnitude 9.0 on the Richter scale, made it 6 miles (10 kilometers) inland with washed up debris and water reaching distances of 10 miles or more inland. This city of Sendai was 80 miles (128 km) from epicenter of Earthquake.
What are the first waves to leave the focus after an earthquake?
p waves
How far did the shock waves from the earthquake in japan reach?
hundreds of miles in every direction
What are shock waves released in an earthquake called?
seismic waves
How bad is japan earthquake?
the earthquake in japan was a 9.0 earthquake and was followed by a tsunami then it spread over to Hawaii and the waves got over 13 ft. high and killed a lot of fish. Now there is a shortage of sushi in Hawaii and gas prices have gone up. P.S. whoever asked this don't you watch the news?!
Has the Japanese earthquake affected the US?
maybe a little bit with a lot of ppl sending Japan money but the waves from the earthquake might of came to Hawaii so maybe a little bit but not that much
How do earthquake shock waves affect buildings and structures?
Earthquake shock waves can cause buildings and structures to shake and sway, potentially leading to structural damage or collapse. The intensity of the shock waves can vary based on factors such as the magnitude of the earthquake and the proximity of the building to the epicenter. Buildings designed to withstand earthquakes may have features such as flexible foundations, reinforced walls, and dampers to help absorb and dissipate the energy of the shock waves.
What small vibrations follow a major earthquake?
after shocks or shock waves
What is the shock wave sent through the planet by an earthquake?
Seismic Waves.
What are the most powerful shock waves from an earthquake called?
your fat mama
Has the tsunami caused by the Japan earthquake hit Hawaii yet?
Three foot waves have been reported to hit Hawaii at 9 A.M. EST. They could grow larger and more destructive as time goes by
Does the earth shake in the earthquake?
yes,the shock waves spread in all directions like when we throw a stone in a pool of water,as the shock waves goes further the power of the shock decreases
What is another word for seismic waves?
earthquake wave or shock wave
The vibrational tremors sent out from an earthquake?
The vibrational tremors sent out from an earthquake are known as seismic waves. These waves travel through the Earth's crust and are responsible for the shaking felt during an earthquake. There are two main types of seismic waves: primary (P-waves) and secondary (S-waves).
