Earth has lots more earth quakes than it use too. These increases started after different countries took up experimenting and Blowing up giant Bombs deep in the Earth! The Atom and Nuclear Bombs the hardest and causing the most damage in quakes.
I wonder what God this of our doing these?

What describes the strength of an earthquake?
The amplitude of seismic waves from an earthquake is is measured by a seismometer. From this an estimate can be made of the amount of energy released by an earthquake (this is known as magnitude). The magnitude of an earthquake is controlled by the amount of energy stored within the deformed rocks of the crust. This is in turn a function of the elastic moduli of the crust, the cross sectional area of the fault rupture zone and the amplitude of the displacement on the fault.
Where was there an earthquake today?
Japan had Tsunami and an Earthquake Kansas had an earthquake
Why is a earthquake called a earthquake?
When an earthquake happens the earth quakes, it shakes.
What earthquake was the worst in history?
the worst earthquake in history is the hediezz earthquake
What are source earthquake waves?
The source of earthquake waves is the epicenter of the earthquake.
The magnitude of an earthquake is a function of its location?
false
What are the function of the seismograph?
records the derection and force of an earthquake done by: tavina harper

Where is an earthquake's focus located?
An earthquake's Focus is located directly under the Epicenter of an earthquake. The Epicenterof an earthquake is located on the surface of the earthquake.

What definition of earthquake load?
In simple words, we can define it as``The total force exerted on a structure by an earthquake``. And in detail, ``The seismic loads on the structure during an earthquake result from inertia forces which were created by ground accelerations. The magnitude of these loads is a function of the following factors: mass of the building, the dynamic properties of the building, the intensity, duration, and frequency content of the ground motion, and soil-structure interaction``.
When was the Sanriko earthquake?
The 1933 Sanriku earthquake was a major earthquake.
Why is a earthquake called a earthquake?

What earthquake was the worst in history?
the worst earthquake in history is the hediezz earthquake
What are source earthquake waves?
The source of earthquake waves is the epicenter of the earthquake.
What type of earthquake was the japan earthquake of 2010?
It was a 9.0 level earthquake
How is energy of an earthquake stored before the earthquake?
the energy is stored before the earthquake in the exinstle manner of the earthquake. The exinstile manner is below the earthquake where the rumble happens.
