Movements following a major earthquake often produce smaller earthquakes called?
Aftershock
What is the difference in strength between a 7.0 magnitude earthquake and a 9.0 magnitude earthquake?
-3.0 magnitude or if you want the ground motion: Each time the magnitude increases by one unit, the measured ground motion becomes 10 times larger. For example, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.0 on the Richter scale will produce 10 times as much ground motion as an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0. Furthermore, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 will produce 100 times as much ground motion (10 × 10) as an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0.
What is the rift of an earthquake?
The rift of an earthquake refers to the fracture or break along a fault line where the two blocks of the Earth's crust move relative to each other during an earthquake. This movement causes the release of energy in the form of seismic waves that produce the shaking felt on the Earth's surface.
How does a seismograph measure an earthquake and what is the process involved in detecting seismic activity?
A seismograph measures an earthquake by detecting and recording the vibrations caused by the movement of the Earth's crust. When an earthquake occurs, the seismograph's sensors pick up the seismic waves and produce a graphical representation called a seismogram. This helps scientists analyze the earthquake's magnitude, location, and depth. The process involves placing seismographs in different locations to detect and record seismic activity, which is then analyzed to understand the earthquake's characteristics.
The energy waves that produce an earthquake begin on the surface or within the earth?
Earthquake waves are produced within the Earth's crust when stress accumulated from plate movements is suddenly released. The resulting seismic waves propagate through the Earth, causing the ground to shake.
Water displaced by an undersea earthquake may produce what?
Water displaced by an undersea earthquake may produce large, violent tsunamis. The most deadly tsunami in recorded history hit Indonesia on Christmas Day, 2004. At least 280,000 people were killed or missing.
What is an Alaskan Husky's scientific name?
There isn't really an Alaskan husky breed. its just Siberian huskies and Alaskan malamutes. Alaskan huskies are not a breed in itself they are bred by different dogs to produce the best possible working dogs. but the scientific name for a Siberian husky is Canis familiaris.
Does earthquake produce crystals and gems?
wafa
How does china prepare for an earthquake?
They mass produce...
An 8.3 earthquake will produce tsunami of how far?
Bear in mind that it is not just the Richter scale measurement which determines the severity of a tsunami which results from an earthquake; the location of the earthquake is also relevant. And inland earthquake does not produce the same tsunami as an underwater earthquake. That said, 8.3 is an extremely powerful earthquake which could produce a tsunami that would travel for thousands of miles and cause immense dammage over a very wide area.
Do Tsunamis produce earthquakes?
no the earthquake produces the tsunami
What do type of wave do earthquake produce?
Seismic waves.
The vibration produce by an earthquake are?
These are known as seismic waves.
How much force does earthquake intensity 5 produce?
magnitude of an earthquake can be determined from the data ... an empirical quantitative ranking of the earthquake's inherent size or strength ... Another way to measure the size of an earthquake is to compute how much ... length with an average seismogenic width of 100km to produce an Mw10.5.
What types of seismic waves produce the most damage during an earthquake?
Surface waves (e.g. Rayleigh waves, Love waves) that produce vertical motion of the ground surface produce the most damage during an earthquake.
Is Poseidon reliable?
Not really. Anytime he can produce a storm or an earthquake.
Why does an earthquake produce noise?
because of resonance under crust
