Who was the first to explain the actual mechanism by which earthquakes are generated?
# The elastic rebound theory was first proposed by: Reid, H.F., 1910, The California earthquake of April 18, 1906: The mechanics of the earthquake: Carnegie Institute of Washington Publication 87 (v.2), 192 p.
What else can I help you with?
Can we hear earthquakes why or why not?
No, earthquakes cannot be heard because the sound waves they produce are of very low frequency and do not travel efficiently through the air. People may sometimes hear noises during an earthquake caused by structures shaking or shifting, but these are not the actual sounds of the seismic waves.
How many earthquakes were recorded in 2008?
There were 22,289 recorded earthquakes in 2011 worldwide according to the USGS. However, the USGS estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year and go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes.
Is earthquakes a fast or slow process?
Earthquakes typically occur suddenly and quickly, with the actual shaking or trembling lasting only minutes. However, the build-up of stress along fault lines that leads to an earthquake can take decades or even centuries.
Are there more earthquakes or tornadoes?
Earthquakes, by far, occur most frequently. On average, each year, there are about 1,800 tornadoes are recorded. The actual number of tornadoes is probably higher, most likely a few thousand, due to the many tornadoes that escape detection. By contrast, between five hundred thousand and 1 million earthquakes are recorded each year, of which 100,000 are strong enough to be felt.
Why is it easier to assign mercalli intensity to historic earthquakes than it is to give them a Richter-type magnitude?
It is easier to assign Mercalli intensity to historic earthquakes because it relies on the observed effects and damage caused by the earthquake rather than instrumental recordings, making it applicable for events that predate modern seismic instrumentation. Richter-type magnitude calculations, on the other hand, require precise instrumental measurements which are often not available for historic earthquakes.
What is the Epicurean of an earthquakes?
The word you are looking for is epicenter, not epicurean. The epicenter is not the actual center because that is somewhere underground, but it is the closest place on the surface, to the actual earthquake underground. Epicurean means highly luxurious, and has nothing to do with earthquakes which are never luxurious.
Explain the core actual and augmented products of the educational experience that universities offer?
Explain the core actual and augmented products of the educational experience that universities offer?
Do the actual results deviate from what was expected If so explain how?
whats the meaning accurately expected results and actual results
Is the actual surface of a work of art?
yes it is it is hard to explain though
What is pseudo buffer?
A pseudo buffer is a theoretical construct used in computer science to explain certain algorithms or data structures. It is not an actual buffering mechanism, but a conceptual idea to simplify the explanation of complex systems.
What is a seismomter?
A seismometer is a seismograph made to measure the direction, intensity, and duration of earthquakes. It does this by measuring the actual movement of the ground.
How do you know the actual dimensions of Earth's core and mantle?
They were calculated from systematic, extensive analysis of seismic vibrations (from earthquakes).
When antibodies initiate complement fixations the actual mechanism of pathogen cell death is cell lysis caused by a?
phagocyte
Why do they call Earthquakes Earthquakes when the whole Earth dont shake?
Because the term 'earth' in earthquakes can also mean land, so if you think about it, it's a land quake. Earth = dirt, land, or the actual planet itself. Quake = To shake or tremble, as from instability or shock.
What do you do next when you estimate 120 and find an actual quotiont of 83. explain?
Yes
What is the difference between a fireplace flue and a fireplace damper?
The flue is the actual pipe or chimney where the damper is the mechanism that opens and closes the flue
How many earthquakes happened in the year 2000?
The USGS detected 22,256 earthquakes in the year 2000 although they estimate that a much larger number occur (> 1,000,000) than can be detected as the vast majority of earthquakes are very small and occur far away from seismometer stations.
