secondary waves or otherwise known as s-waves
The Earth moves in response to tectonic forces which move the plates around, causing friction and the release of friction between adjoining plates, the creation of mountains, and the subduction and creation of crust. All of these movements can result in earthquakes.
Liquid is the answer.
i dont really understand what your saying, Take a rubber band for example if your stretching it is it going in 2 directions or 1? Confusing isn't it?
Greater force
This is when a building is separated from the ground that it is built on by large plates. One plate is secured to the ground and the other is secured to the bottom of the building. These plates move a certain distance when the ground shakes.
During an earthquake, particles in the ground move in a wave-like motion due to the release of energy from the shifting of tectonic plates. This causes the ground to shake, creating seismic waves that propagate through the Earth. The particles move both horizontally and vertically, resulting in the ground shaking in different directions.
The ground can move due to seismic activity, such as earthquakes caused by the shifting of tectonic plates. It can also move due to landslides, sinkholes, or soil erosion. Other factors like human activities such as mining, construction, or groundwater extraction can also cause the ground to move.
Yes.
S waves, or secondary waves, are transverse seismic waves, meaning that the particles being effected by the wave are moving perpendicular to the wave's propagation.
Yes, they do.
Earth's tectonic plates move and seismic waves begin to occur.
Primary waves (P-waves) are the seismic waves that arrive at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground, similar to an accordion. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
seismic waves Seismic waves are energy that travel through the earth's layers, and are caused by the release of energy from the earthquake. This release of energy causes the crust to move, rip, and tear causing a lot of damage if close to the surface.

P Wave
Earth's tectonic plates move and seismic waves begin to occur.
Earthquakes are caused by the buildup of stress at plate boundaries where tectonic plates are in contact. When the stress exceeds the strength of the rocks, the plates suddenly slip past one another, releasing stored energy in the form of seismic waves that shake the ground. This movement is what causes earthquakes.
