What caused the ground to shake so strongly and how is shaking recorded in christchurch?
Ground shaking is caused by an earthquake which is two tectonic plates that rub against eachother or overlap The magnitude of most earthquakes is measured on a ricture scale the magnitude is calculated by the ampline.
A person standing directly on the epicenter of an earthquake is protected from the motion and does not feel movement.?
Not necessarily. The strong shaking at the epicenter of an earthquake can still be damaging and dangerous. The severe ground motions at the epicenter can cause buildings and structures to collapse, leading to potential injury or death.
What is strong wind with rain called?
A strong wind with rain is called a "windstorm" or a "rainstorm."
What is a series of wind gusts formed when a downdraft hits earths surface with a strong force?
A series of wind gusts formed when a downdraft hits the Earth's surface with a strong force is called a downburst. Downbursts can cause sudden and strong winds that spread out horizontally when they hit the ground, leading to potentially damaging conditions.
What is the definition of earthquake resistant?
Earthquake resistant refers to the ability of a structure or building to withstand the shaking and ground movement caused by an earthquake without collapsing or sustaining significant damage. This involves designing and constructing buildings with materials and techniques that can absorb and dissipate seismic energy to minimize the impact of an earthquake.
sudden and strong shaking of the earth?
earth quake
Small area storms formed by the strong upward movement of warm moist air are called?
Small area storms formed by the strong upward movement of warm, moist air are called storm surges.
How hurricanes and earthquake different?
A hurricane is a strong tropical cyclone with winds of at least 74 mph. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water. An earthquake is a tremor (shaking) of the earth's crust typically cause by the movement of sections of the crust called tectonic plates.
Many strong earthquakes are caused by what?
Many strong earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates along fault lines. This movement creates stress in the Earth's crust, which is eventually released in the form of an earthquake. The sudden release of energy can result in significant ground shaking and damage.
Which religious movement in the colonies called for a return to the strong faith of earlier days?
Great Awakening
Is air pressure weak or strong at earths surface?
