How does an area's distance from the epicenter effect the amount of damage an earthquake will do?
The proximity of the epicentre to populated or urban areas will effect the damage caused as the closer the earthquake's epicentre, the more energy will be retained by the earthquake waves and so the greater their capacity to cause damage.
The gravitational attraction between two objects is determined by the mass of the two objects and the?
distance between them. The greater the mass of the objects and the closer they are, the stronger the gravitational attraction between them.
Why do areas far away from the epicenter sometimes experience greater damage during an earthquake than areas closer to the epicenter?
Areas further away from the epicenter may experience greater damage due to the type of soil and rock they are built on, which can amplify the shaking from the earthquake. Additionally, the distance from the epicenter can affect how the seismic waves travel and interact with the local geology, leading to variations in ground motion intensity. Finally, building codes and construction standards can vary in different regions, affecting the resilience of structures to seismic events.
What are two factors that can determine the amount of destruction that results from an earthquake?
Two factors that can determine the amount of destruction from an earthquake are the magnitude (strength) of the earthquake and the distance of the epicenter from densely populated areas. Stronger earthquakes and those closer to populated regions tend to cause more significant damage.
How does distance change earthquake effects?
The closer you are to the earthquake's epicenter, the stronger the shaking and potential damage. As distance increases, the intensity of the shaking decreases. However, other factors like the type of soil and building construction can also influence the effects of an earthquake at a given distance.
Is it true that the closer an earthquake the greater the time difference between the arrival of P-waves and the arrival of S-waves?
Yes, that is correct. The time difference between the arrival of P-waves and S-waves increases as the earthquake epicenter gets closer to the seismograph. P-waves are faster, so they arrive first, followed by the slower S-waves.
Why does the time between the arrival of the P wave and the S wave become greater and greater as you get farther away from the epicenter?
It is because the epicenter decreases their strenght as it is closer to it
Where is the epicenter of an earthquake if the arrival time difference between P and S waves is zero?
Your standing on it! P-waves travel faster than S-waves through the Earth. As such the further away a seismometer station is from the epicentre of an Earthquake, the larger the difference between arrival times will be. By the same logic this means that the closer you get to the epicentre, the smaller the difference in arrival time will be until your at the epicentre when the difference will be zero!
Is it true seismic waves of an earthquake are greater closer to the surface of the crust near a city?
No, the location of a city is unknown by and irrelevant to the earthquake.
When is the gravity between two objects greater?
When their masses are greater, and when their centers of mass are closer together.
When is the force of gravity between objects greater?
When either or both of their masses are greater, and when their centers are closer together.
Is 2.65 closer to 2.67 or 2.7?
It is closer to 2.67 ; since 2.67 is greater than 2.65, and 2.7 is greater than that, 2.67 is in between, and 2.7 is farther away.
How long does it takes to fly from new Orleans to Omaha Nebraska?
The time between departure and arrival will be between 4 and 5 hours, but closer to 5.
What is greater -20 or -4?
-16
How is the distance between the centers of two objects related to the size of the pull of gravity between them?
The closer the distance, the greater the pull of gravity between them.
What happen if vary change the distance between the magnet and the nails?
the closer the magnet is to the nails the greater the magnetic force between the magnet and the nails
Is Central America closer to the Greater Antilles or to the Lesser Antilles?
Central America is closer to the Greater Antilles.
