How are oceanic plated measured?
They are measured in seismic waves.
Why do seismic waves originate along fault lines?
Seismic waves originate along fault lines because that is an edge of a tectonic plate. Imagine the tectonic plates as pieces of a puzzle. The fault line is the wavy side or edge in the piece and the pieces fit together. Whenever the plates move, they rub against the tectonic plates or puzzle pieces on their sides creating seismic waves.
The waves of energy that an earthquake produces?
Earthquakes produce "seismic" waves. These can be split into two main types: Body Waves and Surface Waves. Body waves consist of P-waves (compression or longitudinal waves) and S-waves (shear or transverse waves). P-waves can go through solid, liquid, and gas forms but S waves can only travel through solids. The P waves reach seismic stations quicker than S waves as they travel at a greater speed. Surface waves travel more slowly than Body waves and there are two main types: The Rayleigh and Love wave.
What Movement of the faults produces which kind of energy waves?
the waves caused by an earthquake are called seismic waves
Which seismic waves cause the least damage?
The Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) are the slowest moving but most damaging of the seismic waves.
How are oceanic plated measured?
They are measured in seismic waves.
How seismic waves are measured?
googoe
What device is used to record seismic waves?
Seismic waves are measured by seismographs, geophones, hydrophones and accelerometers.
What tool measuresearthquake waves?
Earthquake waves (seismic waves) are measured using a seismograph or seismometer.
What characteristic of seismic waves tell you this?
Seismic waves are the waves that rapidly move through the earth's crust causing a shift in techtonic plates. These waves tell us how strong an earthquake was.
What are seismic waves and what information information do they give about earthquakes?
Earthquakes are when the seismic plates on the earths crust move after pressure from on another is exceeded, seismic waves are produced after an earthquake, and can turn into a tsunami.
How you can use the words seismic wave and seismograph in the same sentence?
The seismograph measured the intensity of the seismic waves
What characteristic of seismic tells you this?
Seismic waves are the waves that rapidly move through the earth's crust causing a shift in techtonic plates. These waves tell us how strong an earthquake was.
Does heat from the inner core and movement of tectonic plates produce seismic waves?
no.
Why do seismic waves originate along fault lines?
Seismic waves originate along fault lines because that is an edge of a tectonic plate. Imagine the tectonic plates as pieces of a puzzle. The fault line is the wavy side or edge in the piece and the pieces fit together. Whenever the plates move, they rub against the tectonic plates or puzzle pieces on their sides creating seismic waves.
How are all the seismic waves the same?
No, it depends on how much pressure the tectonic plates collide with
Seismic shaking is a msasure of?
Seismic waves are the vibrations from earthquakes that travel through the earths surface and is measured bye the shaking you feel.
