What is the name of the crust not under the ocean?
The crust not under the ocean is called continental crust. It is thicker and less dense compared to oceanic crust and forms the landmasses on Earth's surface.
What does ocean earthquake mean?
An ocean earthquake, also known as a submarine earthquake, is an earthquake that occurs beneath the ocean floor. These earthquakes can generate tsunamis due to the displacement of large volumes of water, posing a threat to coastal areas. Detection and monitoring of these events are crucial for early warning systems to mitigate potential impacts.
What is a movement in the ground caused by a sudden release of energy under the Earth's crust?
A shift in the earth's crust to relieve pressure, and therefore release energy, is an earthquake.
An earthquake that causes a landslide under the ocean floor can trigger a?
tsunami
What is the thinest part of the earths crust under the ocean called?
The thinnest part of the Earth's crust under the ocean is called the oceanic crust. It typically ranges from about 5 to 10 kilometers thick, making it significantly thinner than continental crust, which can exceed 30 kilometers in thickness. The oceanic crust is primarily composed of basalt and is formed at mid-ocean ridges through volcanic activity.
What happens if there is an earthquake under an ocean?
If there is an earthquake under an ocean, tsunami is possible.
Crust under the ocean is called?
Crust under the oceans is called oceanic crust.
How does an earthquake move?
An earthquake moves due to the plates under the Earth's crust moving
What kind of crust is found under the ocean?
oceanic crust
Can an earthquake happen when a tsunami occurs?
Undersea earthquakes can cause tsunamis, not the other way round. It is the sudden movement of the crust under the ocean which can trigger a tsunami.
How deep is the crust under the ocean?
The crust under the ocean is typically about 3 to 5 miles (5 to 8 kilometers) deep.
Why does an earthquake produce noise?
because of resonance under crust
What is the name of the crust not under the ocean?
The crust not under the ocean is called continental crust. It is thicker and less dense compared to oceanic crust and forms the landmasses on Earth's surface.
Does an earthquake occur only in continental crust?
No, earthquakes can occur anywhere in the crust, oceanic crust or continental crust. An earthquake occurs when the hard brittle solid material of the crust fractures under stress. Earthquakes cannot occur deeper than the crust (the mantle is plastic and flows slowly under stress instead of fracturing, the outer core is liquid and flows even easier than the mantle).
What is an earthquake that occurs in the ocean?
A seaquake is a type of earthquake that occurs under the seafloor.
What will hapend if there is an earthquake under the ocean?
If its a large earthquake, you can expect a tsunami to follow
Is the earth crust thicker under the continent or the ocean?
Earth's crust is far thicker under the continents.
