Why does an area that is far from the epicenter of an earthquake generally has a lower intensity than an area closer to the epicenter?

An area closer to the epicenter of an earthquake experiences higher intensity because the seismic waves have less distance to travel, so their energy is concentrated. As you move further away from the epicenter, the intensity decreases due to the attenuation of the seismic waves over distance. The energy of the waves spreads out, resulting in lower intensity in areas far from the epicenter.


How do seismic stations record data on the other side of the planet?

The seismic stations record data on the other side of the planet by disturbing the timing of the electrical current. The horizontal magnetic directions are hit by a shock wave, allowing information about the area closer to the earthquake. The seismologists average their data and do final calculations. Within two weeks, they have their data.


Why are seismic waves important?

1]Thunder/,Lightning to determine distance from flash and sound.2]music ,music instruments need tuning3]ballistics,flash/report distance ,trajectory4]travel, jet planes use more energy the closer they get to V of sound.5] E=MC2 was albert einsteins first ever scientific question


Los Angeles and San Francisco become 2.5 inches closer together each year because they are on opposite sides of the San Andreas fault?

The movement of the tectonic plates along the San Andreas fault causes Los Angeles and San Francisco to move closer together at a rate of 2.5 inches annually. This gradual movement is due to the ongoing seismic activity in the region.


What force is most responsible for the contraction of a gas cloud?

Gravitational force is the most responsible for the contraction of a gas cloud. As gravity pulls gas particles closer together, the cloud becomes denser and eventually leads to the formation of a star or stellar system.
