What or which of the above boundaries can produce earthquake's at which of those is the largest earthquakes produced?
Transform boundaries produce the largest earthquakes.
Earthquake produce which kind of sound before main shock wave?
infrasound
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.
The energy waves that produce an earthquake begin on the surface or within the earth?
The energy waves form at the focus which is the location within Earth along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs
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?

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.
Did the Great Kanto earthquake produce a tsunami?
yes
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.
Why are there associated fires following an earthquake?
An earthquake may destroy dams and levees.IAn earthquake may alter weather patterns and produce severe rainstorms.
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.
