The geologic processes that cause an earthquake have nothing to do with any atmospheric processes such as wind. So to answer your question, there is no reason for no wind during an earthquake. However, there are reports of strange lights that appear in the sky at night during, preceding, or after earthquakes. There is no scientific documentation of these lights but there is enough anecdotal evidence to warrant further investigation. One possible cause might be the piezoelectric properties of the mineral quartz which makes up about 75% of the Earth's crust. When quick bursts of pressure are applied to quartz crystals, they give off a small electric spark. This property is used in most propane gas grills. When you press the button to light the grill, a spring releases energy and strikes the quartz crystal causing a spark to pass from he crystal to a metal electrode. The gas passes through this spark and ignites.
What else can I help you with?
What is the weather term of how fast the wind is blowing?
The weather term for how fast the wind is blowing is called "wind speed." It is typically measured in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
What is relative wind speed?
Relative for starters means exact or close to. Wind Speed is how fast the air is blowing. It other words, this would mean an estimate or exact measurement to the Wind Speed.
What tells you how fast the is blowing the wind is blowing?
The speed that the wind is blowing is typically measured with an instrument called an anemometer. An anemometer has rotating cups that spin faster as the wind speed increases. The rotation is then converted into a wind speed measurement.
How is wind speed related to pressure differential?
Wind speed is directly related to pressure differential. Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, creating wind. The stronger the pressure gradient (difference in pressure over distance), the faster the wind will blow.
What was the highest wind speed during hurricnae rita?
The highest wind speed recorded during Hurricane Rita was 180 mph (290 km/h).
How fast the wind is passing a measuring point?
The wind speed.
How fast do the wind have to be a hurricane?
The minimum wind speed for a hurricane is 74 mph.
What tool do you use to see how fast the wind is blowing?
An anemometer is the tool used to measure wind speed. It consists of cups that rotate in the wind and the speed of rotation is used to calculate the wind speed.
What is the weather term of how fast the wind is blowing?
The weather term for how fast the wind is blowing is called "wind speed." It is typically measured in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
What is relative wind speed?
Relative for starters means exact or close to. Wind Speed is how fast the air is blowing. It other words, this would mean an estimate or exact measurement to the Wind Speed.
What is used for wind speed?
Wind speed may be measured using an anemometer.
What is the fastest wind found in a Hurricane?
the wind speed was very fast to fast for scientists
What is hurricane Donna's wind speed?
statistics show that it was 325kmph LOL pretty fast right :P
How fast does wind go when there is a tsunami?
A tsunami is not a wind-related event, so the wind could be going any speed.
Wind speed on Pluto?
Marciela AND Alex say its very fast
If your traveling at 20 knots into 33knot winds how fast is your wind speed on board?
The wind speed on board will be the difference between the boat's speed and the wind speed, so 20 - 33 = -13 knots. This means that the wind speed on board will be 13 knots in the opposite direction of travel.
What is the name of the tool used to mesure wind speed?
An anemometer is the easiest and best way. To tell how fast the speed is using an anemometer, determine how fast the anemometer is spinning with a speedometer if possible.
