∙ 15y agoThe movement of faults produces seismic waves. When an earthquake occurs, it generates three types of seismic waves: P-waves (Primary waves), S-waves (Secondary waves), and surface waves. P-waves are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S-waves are slower and move only through solids. Surface waves cause the most damage and travel along the Earth's surface.

seismic
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the strain energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces. Some faults move easily and thus no strain energy builds up.
When plate movement stores energy in the rock along faults, stress and strain build up within the rock mass. Eventually, this stored energy is released in the form of an earthquake when the rocks along the fault slip past each other, causing seismic waves to propagate through the Earth.
The waves of energy that an earthquake produces are called seismic waves. There are two main types: body waves, which travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface.
Geologists study how tectonic plates interact and accumulate stress along faults, where two plates meet. Earthquakes occur when this stored energy is released suddenly, causing the rocks to break and generate seismic waves. Monitoring these faults and understanding their behavior helps geologists predict and prepare for future seismic activity.
Earthquakes occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, typically due to the movement of tectonic plates along faults. This movement causes stress to build up over time until it is released in the form of seismic waves, resulting in the shaking of the ground.

Seismic waves are generated by movement along faults, which are fractures in the Earth's crust where rocks on either side have moved relative to each other. This movement can occur due to tectonic plate interactions or volcanic activity, and it releases energy that propagates through the Earth as seismic waves.
Yes, a seismic wave is caused by the energy released when rocks along a fault move and break. This movement generates waves that travel through the Earth, causing vibrations that we feel as an earthquake.

It is sound waves

The movement of seismic waves along faults and friction.
The energy is the energy of energy. Hoped that helped.
The energy released by fault movement forms earthquakes.
Actually Thermal energy is produced by the movement of atoms and molecules!!
