When an earthquake occurs seismic waves travel outward from the?
When an earthquake occurs, seismic waves travel outward from the focus (the point where the earthquake originates) through the Earth's crust and mantle. These waves can be detected by seismometers and help scientists study the characteristics of the earthquake and the structure of the Earth's interior.
What part of the world does earthquake mainly occurs?
New Zealand
What is the point inside the earth where the first movement of an earthquake occurs and energy is released?
The point inside the Earth where the first movement of an earthquake occurs and energy is released is known as the focus or hypocenter. This is the location where the seismic waves originate and spread outwards, causing the shaking and vibrations associated with an earthquake.
During an earthquake the most violent shaking occurs at what location?
The most violent shaking during an earthquake typically occurs closest to the earthquake's epicenter, where the seismic waves are strongest. As you move further away from the epicenter, the shaking intensity decreases.
What is the spot directly above the focus where an earthquake occurs?
The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus where an earthquake occurs is called the epicenter. It is the point where the seismic energy is first released and is typically where the strongest shaking is felt during an earthquake.
How many people die a year with a earthquake?
It depends how many times an earthquake occurs and how much damage happens and how strong it is.....
What is an earthquake that occurs in the ocean?
A seaquake is a type of earthquake that occurs under the seafloor.
What is the number of times an item or number occurs in a data set?
It is its frequency.
What happens which one continental plate slides under another?
Tsunami and/or Earthquake. I'm not 100% about some of the other stuff.
What do you call an earthquake that occurs after a larger earthquake in the same area?
This is known as an aftershock.
What is the term what do you call an earthquake that occurs after a larger earthquake in the same area?
after shock
What is the weather like when an earthquake occurs?
It depends where you are.
Where is the shadow Zone?
It depends on where the earthquake occurs.
Areas where earthquake occurs?
subduction zones
How do people react when an earthquake occurs?
fastly
What is an earthquake that occurs after a larger one?
After Shock
How do you locate where an earthquake starts?
There is a network of seismometers (earth-quake detectors) setup around the world. When an earthquake occurs it releases a set of powerful waves which travel through the Earth and are detected by the seismometers. By comparing the time taken to reach each seismometer the epicentre of the earthquake can be triangulated.
