A movement or vibration in earth?
An earthquake is the movement or vibration in the earth caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere. It results in the shaking of the ground and can lead to significant damage and destruction if severe enough.
What factors make an earthquake deadly?
If I were in the middle of a grass field during an earthquake, then probably nothing bad would happen to me, I wouldn't get injured. However, if I were in the middle of a shopping mall, with 5 tons of concrete above my head... different story... To put it short: stability of the buildings is crucial. So is the density of the population. If buildings collapse easily, and if there are many people in the given region, then the results of an earthquake can be pretty bad...
What are the two factors that can determine the amount of destruction that results from an earthquake?
Their magnitude (the amount of energy released by the earthquake, which effects the energy of the seismic waves and the damage they can cause).The proximity of the epicentre to populated or urban areas (the closer the earthquake epicentre, the more energy will be retained by the earthquake waves and the greater the damage)The local ground conditions (seismic waves have a much lower amplitude in hard rock than in soft ground making the damage caused by seismic waves much greater in soft grounds. Also liquefaction may occur in soft ground where there is pore water which acts to significantly reduce bearing capacity and makes building collapse much more likely)The construction techniques employed in the area and the enforcement of applicable construction codes or standards will affect how destructive an earthquake is (earthquake resistant designs will obviously reduce the damage caused by seismic waves, on the other hand, in countries or areas where poor building practices are followed - e.g. insufficient steel reinforcement in concrete, the use of cheap or poorly sourced aggregates which reduce the strength of concrete or the construction on poor founding materials without the requisite foundation engineering will all act to increase the damage caused by earthquakes).
What the results of earthquake?
Earthquakes can result in structural damage to buildings and infrastructure, landslides, tsunamis, and loss of life. The level of destruction can vary depending on the magnitude of the earthquake and the proximity of populated areas to the epicenter. Recovery efforts often involve assessing and repairing damaged structures, providing emergency aid to affected communities, and implementing measures to reduce future risks.
When two plates rub against each what might the results be?
When two tectonic plates rub against each other, it can result in earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges. This interaction is a part of the process of plate tectonics, where the Earth's lithosphere is in constant motion.
What are four factors that affects the amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibrations?
Four factors that affect the amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibrations include the earthquake's magnitude, which determines the energy released; the depth of the earthquake's focus, as shallower quakes tend to cause more surface damage; the distance from populated areas, where closer proximity results in greater destruction; and the local geological conditions, such as soil type and building structures, which can amplify vibrations and influence the level of damage.
What are the FACTORS that determine whether imitative behavior will occur?
the results of the factors employed
What factors affect how much damage results from an earthquake?
Rock density Rock structure Type of rock Geographic location How strong the earth quake Type of earthquake

What is the purpose of using multiple control groups in an experiments?
To help you conclude that no uncontrolled factors significantly influenced your results. To help you determine that your experimental results are valid To help control for factors that aren't being tested but might affect results
What factors determine if patients get a colostomy?
a number of factors, including patient history, amount of pain, and the results of tests such as colonoscopy and lower G.I. (gastrointestinal) series.
How does pressure result in an earthquake?
It results by creating a shockwave, which causes the ground to shake; this is an earthquake.
What factors determine weather patients get a colostomy?
a number of factors, including patient history, amount of pain, and the results of tests such as colonoscopy and lower G.I. (gastrointestinal) series.
What results from a shifting of the Earths crust?
earthquake
Boundary that usually results in an earthquake?
conversion boundary
