What are the back and forth movement caused by earthquake?
The back and forth movement caused by an earthquake is known as seismic waves. These waves travel through the Earth's crust, creating the shaking effect that we feel during an earthquake. The type of seismic waves produced can vary depending on factors such as the type of fault movement that generated the earthquake.
What damage occurs after a large earthquake?
If you mean damage to the surrounding are then it all depends on how built up the area is. Most damage is caused by structural collapse so more built up areas will see a higher amount of damage than a less built up, more rural area. If you mean damage to the earths crust itself then you need to look at what type of earthquake it was and the location of the epicentre (the point of origin)
What 2 layers make up the Earth's crust?
The Earth's crust is composed of two layers: the continental crust, which makes up the landmasses, and the oceanic crust, which forms the seafloor. These two crustal layers differ in composition, thickness, and density.
What are the small earthquakes that occur before the main earthquake?
Well, from what I understand, there's the main Earth Quake, and then an After Shock, which is a smaller Earth quake usually followed up from the main one. I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I hope it helps!
Does a small earthquake mean a bigger one is coming?
Not necessarily. A small earthquake does not always indicate that a larger earthquake is imminent. Earthquakes are unpredictable, and it is not possible to accurately forecast when or where a larger earthquake will occur based on smaller ones.

What does 'made of Earth' mean?
it means something is made of the earths crust
What does shockwaves mean in an earthquake?
Of or relating to earthquakes or other vibrations of the earth and its crust
What does the mantle have to do with the 2011 tsunami in Japan?
The mantle has everything to do with this earthquake, without the convection currents in the mantle the plates would have not moved to cause the earthquake in the first place. The problem is that Japan is at a destructive (also called compressional) plate boundry, not just that but there is another four plate boundaries quite close by to magnify the effect of the earthquake, the movement of the crust could also mean that there could be magma rising through the crust ready for an eruption. The earthquake caused the ocean crust to move 10m which displaced the water to create the tsunami.
What you mean by volcanos?
A volcano is a vent (opening) in the earths crust through which molten materials erupts suddenly.
What does category of earthquake mean?
the moving or depositioning of rocks underneath the surface of the earth when th earths plates collide
What does ocean earthquake mean?
An ocean earthquake, also known as a submarine earthquake, is an earthquake that occurs beneath the ocean floor. These earthquakes can generate tsunamis due to the displacement of large volumes of water, posing a threat to coastal areas. Detection and monitoring of these events are crucial for early warning systems to mitigate potential impacts.
If a fault line is dotted what does it mean?
The fault line of a earthquake is the crack in the Eath's crust ans where two or more tectonic plates butt together.
What does the crust of the earth mean?
What does the crust on the earthmean
What does oceanic crust mean?
It is a crust dummy
What does the Earth's crust mean?
What does the crust on the earthmean
