It depends on the intensity of the earthquake and the type of slippage that caused it.

The name the amount of ground displacement in an earthquake is called?
dip
Moment magnitude estimates the amount of energy an earthquake releases and is derived from the amount of displacement along a n?
Fault
What are Cracks in the ground caused by earthquakes called?
cracks in the ground caused by earthquakesFaults. Cracks in the earths crust usually caused by earthquakes are called faults.No, their not! Faults are to do with tectonic plates, earthquake cracks are called earthquake cracks.
When does displacement begin during an earthquake?
Fucus
How is the strength of an earthquake measured?
You use a seismograph to measure the strength of an earthquake.

Momentum Magnitude?
A measurement system derived from the amount of displacement (energy) of the earthquake.
Moment magnitude estimates the amount of energy an earthquake releases and is derived from the amount of displacement along a n?
Fault
What happens along a fault beneath Earths surface when an earthquake occurs.?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What does ocean earthquake mean?
an earthquake is shaking or sometimes displacement of ground as a result of a sudden release of energy in the earths crust that created seismic waves.
What earthquake words start with the letter D?
displacement is an earthquake term
What are Cracks in the ground caused by earthquakes called?
cracks in the ground caused by earthquakesFaults. Cracks in the earths crust usually caused by earthquakes are called faults.No, their not! Faults are to do with tectonic plates, earthquake cracks are called earthquake cracks.
How does under water earthquake affect the ocean water?
It causes the ground at the ocean floor to shift, resulting in the displacement of water. The beginnings of a potential tsunami!
When does displacement begin during an earthquake?
Fucus
How is the strength of an earthquake measured?
You use a seismograph to measure the strength of an earthquake.
What was the maximum amount of ground movement during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake?
21 feet
Does the epicenter cause ground displacement?
Your question is incorrect.The epicenter is the place on the surface located exactly above the breaking point which generates the energy. The epicenter is the place which will receive the hardest strike from the shockwave.If the earthquake is powerfull enough to cause ground displacement, it will certainly occur on the epicenter and probably on the areas around.The energy released by the rupture underground is the cause of the ground displacment.
