How does the energy from an earthquake reach the surface earth?
in the form of body waves known as p (compressional waves) and s waves (shear waves). the energy of the earth quake also produces surface waves which have long amplitudes and short frequencies causing them to be extremely destructive
What does the ozone hole allow to reach Earth's surface?
The ozone hole allows some radiations to reach the earth's surface. These radiations are high energy UV radiations.
How are ultraviolet rays from the sun able to reach Earth's surface?
the atmostphere
How do xenoliths and xenocrysts reach the surface?
They usually reach Earth's surface when they are entrained (carried along with) within molten material from depth that is erupted onto the earth's surface.
What is the name of shooting stars that reach earth's surface?
Meteorites.

How long energy sun take to get to earth?
Energy, in the form of radiation, takes about 8 minutes to reach from the surface of Sun to the surface of Earth.
What does the ozone hole allow to reach Earth's surface?
The ozone hole allows some radiations to reach the earth's surface. These radiations are high energy UV radiations.
Does most of suns energy reach earth in light energy?
it does reach the earth in light energy.
Why do only small amounts of energy actually reach the earth's surface?
beacuase part of it reaches the earth the rest is reflected back ;)
How does from an earthquake reach Earth's surface?
energy reachs earth surface through seismic waves: P waves S waves and Surface waves
How long does the energy produced in a star take to reach the earth?
From the core, photons take about a million years to reach the surface. From there, they are free to travel and only take just over 8 minutes to reach the Earth.
How are ultraviolet rays from the sun able to reach Earth's surface?
the atmostphere
How does the energy to reach Earth?
radiant energy
How do xenoliths and xenocrysts reach the surface?
They usually reach Earth's surface when they are entrained (carried along with) within molten material from depth that is erupted onto the earth's surface.
What are mountains formed by magma that reach the Earth's surface?
Mountains formed by magma that reach the Earth's surface are called volcanic mountains or ridges.
