When the shift occurs in the earths crust the energy radiates as what?

When a shift occurs in the Earth's crust, the energy can radiate as seismic waves. These waves travel through the Earth's interior and can be detected and measured by seismographs. Depending on the type of fault movement, the seismic waves produced can be either compressional (P-waves) or shear (S-waves).


What is the force thought to move large pieces of earths crust including the continents?

Convection-currents in the Mantle, and spreading-ridge pressure from the emerging basalt along constructive plate boundaries. The processes come under the general heading of 'Plate Tectonics'.


Were does geothermal energy come from?

Geothermal energy comes from the heat stored beneath the earth's surface in the form of hot water and steam. This heat is generated from the decay of radioactive materials in the Earth's core and from leftover heat from the Earth's formation.


Is new crust created at a convergent boundary?

No, new crust is not created at a convergent boundary. Instead, at convergent boundaries, two tectonic plates come together and one plate is usually forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This process can lead to the destruction of crust rather than the creation of new crust.


What layer of the earth does geothermal energy come from?

Geothermal energy comes from the Earth's mantle, which is located between the crust and the core. Heat from the Earth's interior is transferred to the surface through volcanic activity and geothermal reservoirs, which can be tapped for energy production.

How earthquake changes geographical maps?

earthquakes makes changes in maps as an earthquakes only when the electronic plates under earths crust come and collide with each other and they result into the change in the shape and position of the continents or the land area on its crust which changes the shapes and thus this is who the maps keep changing
