What is a main shock?

A main shock is the largest earthquake in a sequence of earthquakes that occur in a specific region and time period. It is usually followed by aftershocks, which are smaller earthquakes that happen in the same area. The main shock can cause significant damage and is often used as a reference point for measuring the intensity of earthquakes in that sequence.


What makes the flash of a lightning strike larger than that of a carpet shock?

The flash of a lightning strike is larger because it involves a massive discharge of electrical energy between the clouds and the ground, covering vast distances. In contrast, a carpet shock is a localized discharge of static electricity between you and the carpet, which has much less energy and a smaller area of effect.


Why nitrogen gas is used in shock absorber?

"It is an inert gas for one reason, it is also larger than a molecule of air, so it has a harder time leaking out." Also, when the oil inside of a shock/strut heats up it can foam (this is called aeration), the nitrogen gas prevents this from happening.


Why do you get a shock after walking across carpet?

Walking across carpet can build up a static charge on your body due to the friction between your feet and the carpet. When you touch a conductive object, like a doorknob, the excess electrons from your body discharge, causing a shock.


Earthquake produce which kind of sound before main shock wave?

Earthquakes can produce a variety of sounds before the main shock wave, such as rumbling, cracking, or grinding noises. These sounds can be caused by the movement of rocks along fault lines underground or the shifting of the earth's crust. It's important to note that not all earthquakes produce audible sounds before the main shock wave.
