What is the release of stored energy in earth's outer layer that causes movements called?
The release of stored energy in Earth's outer layer that causes movements is called an earthquake. This release of energy typically occurs along fault lines where tectonic plates are in contact with each other and can result in vibrations felt on the Earth's surface.
Why can't s waves be measured on the opposite side of the earth from the epicenter of an earthquake?
S-waves are unable to travel through the liquid outer core of the Earth. When an earthquake occurs, S-waves are absorbed and blocked by the outer core, preventing them from reaching the opposite side of the Earth from the epicenter. This phenomenon is known as the S-wave shadow zone.
Why does the water level rise after tsunami?
A tsunami is caused by a sudden disturbance on the seafloor, like an earthquake or underwater landslide, that displaces a large volume of water. This displacement creates a series of powerful waves that can travel long distances across the ocean and result in a rise in water level when they reach shallow coastal areas.
How did the landscape change after the San Francisco earthquake of 1906?
The San Francisco earthquake of 1906 caused extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure in the city. The landscape changed due to widespread fires that destroyed many structures, giving rise to a need for rebuilding and redesigning the city. Additionally, the earthquake led to improvements in building codes and practices to make structures more resilient to future earthquakes.
What is the layer inside the earth that creates earths magnetosphere?
The outer core of the Earth, composed mostly of molten iron and nickel, is responsible for generating the planet's magnetosphere. The motion of the liquid metal within the outer core creates electrical currents that give rise to the Earth's magnetic field.

Did Japan's earthquake start at 8.9 and then rise to 9.0?
The estimate of the earthquake magnitude was adjusted from 8.9 to 9.0.
What type of wave affects the surface of the land by causing it to rise and fall?
A seismic wave, known as a surface wave, can cause the surface of the land to rise and fall during an earthquake. These waves travel along the Earth's outer layers and can produce the most visible and destructive effects on the ground.
What type of material forms a continental rise?
wind and earthquake
What is directly above the earthquake epicenter?
Nothing (well the atmosphere and then outer space)! As the epicentre of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above the focus or hypocentre (which is the place in the Earth where the rupture / fault movement that causes the earthquake occurs).
What caused the outer south side of the Colosseum to collapse?
An earthquake in 1826 nearly finished the job started in 1349, damaging and nearly collapsing the outer south side of the Colosseum.
Was the earthquake that happened on March 11 2011 a massive earthquake?
The earthquake that occured in Japan on March 11, 2011 was an 8.9 scale earthquake, which means that it was very powerful. This earthquake caused numerous tsunamis, irreparable damage, and massive death. The death toll continues to rise with hundreds of thousands of people still missing.
Can you see an earthquake on land from the water?
It would have to be a very strong earthquake for you to see the land moving. If the earthquake is strong, building may fall down, dust may rise, lampposts will rock, rocks may tumble, so that is what you might see.
Did an earthquake shake the limestone casing off the great pyramids?
No, most of the outer casing was taken away for building purposes
How has architects tried to design earthquake proof high rise buildings?
because they make it earth quake proof dummy
What activity or signs before earthquake?
Sometimes the water level could rise and toads would jump around on the road
