What are huge waves call caused by earthquakes?
Huge waves caused by earthquakes are called tsunamis. These are large ocean waves generated by the displacement of water due to undersea seismic activity, such as an earthquake. Tsunamis can travel across oceans and cause widespread destruction along coastlines.
When huge layers of rock break under the ground the effect is a massive vibration that travels through out the ground what causes to happen?
When huge layers of rock break underground, the sudden release of energy creates seismic waves that travel through the ground, causing vibrations. This phenomenon is known as an earthquake, with the rocks along a fault line shifting due to built-up stress and pressure. The seismic waves produced can be detected and measured by seismographs located around the world.
What is a huge sea wave caused by undersea earthquake?
a tsunami is a tidal wave caused by an underwater earthquake :]
Most surface waves are caused by?
Most surface waves are caused by the wind blowing over the surface of the water, creating ripples and waves. Other factors that can cause surface waves include seismic activity, tides, and underwater landslides.
Describe what happens along a fault beneath the earth's surface when an earthquake occurs?
it helps the earthquake get more power,that way the earthquake does more damageWhen an earthquake occurs stress and energy along faults increase until the rock breaks, and a huge amount of stored energy is released. Most, but not all earthquakes start in the lithosphere, relatively close to the surface, around 100 kilometers. Each day there are thousands of earthquakes, although most are too small to even feel.
What are huge waves call caused by earthquakes?

How does the temperature change if you have an earthquake or tsunami?
The temperature changes because high winds take place and tsunamis are huge waves that come from the ocean which would be cold.
What is the name given to the huge waves that break onto shore several hundred kilometers ahead of a hurricane?
a storm surge
When an earthquake occurs a huge amount of energy is released. How does this energy travel from one location to another?
When an earthquake occurs, the energy is released in the form of seismic waves. These waves travel through the Earth's crust, causing the ground to shake at varying intensities depending on factors like distance from the epicenter and the composition of the Earth's layers. The energy is transmitted through the Earth in the form of compressional (P-waves) and shear (S-waves) waves, and can also create surface waves that move along the Earth's surface.
Will there be a huge earthquake when the world ends?
no don't follow of what the movie 2012 says follow the bible the bible says that after the Christians get taken up to heaven those who are left here will be punished by fire and burn forever
What are the huge rips in the ground called after an earthquake?
Faults
What is the brief history of Malaysia?
A strong undersea earthquake in the Indian Ocean causes huge tidal waves that kill more than 290,000 people in south Asia, including dozens in Malaysia in 2004.
What are the natural processes of a tsunami?
say an earthquake happens somewhere in the ocean (common in the ring of fire) the sea bed moves causing the water to move away from the epidcentre. Tsunamis are huge and very strong waves that crash in to land. The waves destroy everything in it's path
What words are used to describe an earthquake of magnitude 5 to 7?
That would be a "kind of strong" earthquake but 8+ is huge.
What is a sentence for seismograph?
Sentence: A Seismograph is a machine used to measure the severity of earthquakes.
What are the effects of tsunami?
Death, Injuries, people becoming homeless, pollution, children could loss their families.
What is an earthquake and a seismic activity?
A seismic activity is an earthquake... An earthquake is when the tectonic plates (under ground) clash together, which causes an earthquake. Earthquakes can be very small or huge depending on where the country is. They can kill thousands of people, knock down buildings and create huge cracks in the ground. They are measured on a Richter scale. :)
