What else can I help you with?
What is it called When the ground trembles?
When the ground trembles, that is called an earth quake. also a aftershock of an earthquacke
What is a tool that records earthquakes is called?
That would be a seismometer. (size-MOM-uh-ter)
Why are earthquakes called earthquakes?
Earthquakes are called so because they are caused by the shaking of the ground due to the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. The term "earth" refers to the ground, and "quake" refers to shaking or trembling, thus combining to describe the natural phenomenon.
What is the name of the device used for measuring ground movement?
The device used for measuring ground movement is called a seismometer. It detects and records vibrations caused by seismic waves resulting from earthquakes or other sources of ground movement.
What are strong shaking movement of the Earths curst called?
Strong shaking movements of the Earth's crust are called earthquakes. They are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere due to tectonic plate movements. Earthquakes can result in the shaking and displacement of the ground, sometimes causing damage to buildings and infrastructure.
How do the cracks in the ground formed by earthquakes close?
their not the cracks gets formed when fatasses be jumping on them
What is the name of the machine that graphs earthquakes?
The machine that graphs earthquakes is called a seismograph. It measures the motion of the ground caused by seismic waves generated by earthquakes.

Cracks in the ground that allow steam and gas to escape?
These are typically called fumaroles, and can occur along cracks or fissures in the ground.

Does earthquakes have to do with Atmosphere?
no it doesn't, it has to do with plate tectonics, when plates move the earth shakes and creates cracks on the ground, or very severe damage.
What causes the ground to split open in earthquakes?
Ground splits open in earthquakes due to the movement of tectonic plates. When built-up stress between plates is released, it causes the ground to rupture, forming cracks or fissures. The release of energy can result in shaking that further contributes to the splitting of the ground.
Why is posidon called the earth shaker?
Poseidon is called the "earth shaker" because of his power to cause earthquakes and tsunamis by wielding his trident. In Greek mythology, he is often associated with the sea, storms, and the power to shake the earth with his might.
Which explain earthquakes and tornadoes?
Tornadoes and earthquakes are completely unrelated phenomena. In brief, tornadoes develop when severe thunderstorms gain rotation from wind shear and that rotation tightens, intensifies, and extends to the ground. Earthquakes usually occur when rocks slip along cracks called faults, releasing stress that has built of from the movement of tectonic plates.
