What is the amount of ground displacement in an earthquake?
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
How does a strike slip fault lead to an earthquake?
An earthquake occurs deep in the earths crust caused by the displacement of two faults in the crust. Directly above the fault on the earths surface is called the epicenter. Which shows the aftermath of the strike slip fault that occured in the earths crust. So the strike slip fault is the effect of the displacement of the crust at that point deep in the earths crust which causes an earthquake to happen whenever there is a displacement of two faults.
Can an inground pool crack during an earthquake?
Yes, an in ground pool can crack during an earthquake if it is close enough to 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 earthquake words start with the letter D?
displacement is an earthquake term

The name the amount of ground displacement in an earthquake is called?
dip
What happens along a fault beneath earth's surface during an earthquake?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What is the displacement of an object during a specific unit of time?
The displacement of an object is its Volume.
Momentum Magnitude?
A measurement system derived from the amount of displacement (energy) of the earthquake.
What happens alonge a fault beneath earths surface when an earthquake happens?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
Why didn't a tsunami occur after the Christchurch earthquake?
A tsunami did occur after the Christchurch earthquake, but it was relatively small and localized. The earthquake did not generate a large enough displacement of water to create a significant tsunami. Additionally, the orientation of the fault line and the shallow depth of the earthquake further limited the potential for a widespread tsunami.
A student used a model the displacement of rock at a fault during an earthquake. The student bent the yardstick without breaking it and then let it go . What process did the student show?
Isostatic rebound. apex

The total displacement divided by the time interval during which the displacement occurred?
Average Velocity
