Why can you feel an earthquake from far away from where it occured?

You can feel it because the waves of the earthquake are very destructive depending on the type of earthquake. The wave you might be feeling is the last wave of the earthquake which is the slowest, but the most powerful. Hope this helped! :)


How far away can you feel a 4.5 earthquake from its epicenter?

The distance at which you can feel a 4.5 earthquake from its epicenter varies depending on factors like the depth of the quake and the local geology. Generally, people can feel a 4.5 earthquake within about 30-50 miles from the epicenter.


How far is an observer from an earthquake epicenter is he or she observed a P wave 8 minutes after the earthquake?

14,4oo km away. i think. check calculations to be sure.


When an earthquake occurs data from one seismograph can tell you what?

When an earthquake occurs, data from one seismograph can tell you the arrival time of seismic waves, the distance from the earthquake epicenter to the seismograph, and the magnitude of the earthquake. By analyzing this data, scientists can determine the location and strength of the earthquake.
