There are three types of vibrations:- Primary waves, Secondary waves and long waves. Primary waves can move through solid and liquid. Secondary waves move through only solids and long waves can only move along the surface of the earth's crust.

Vibrations produced by the breaking of rock?

Vibrations produced by breaking of rocks are called vibrations, earthquakes are produced by these, earthquakes occur when the plates under the earths crust are built with stress and then collapse, causing them to move inward towards each other and cause large virations, producing earthquakes. 8th grade question.

Why is the earths crust always moving?

Simple- Convection in the mantle causes mantle to slowly move, and it pushes against the crust. As it does this, the tectonic plates move.


What can happen to the Earth's surface when the vibrations from an earthquake travel through the crust?

When vibrations from an earthquake travel through the Earth's crust, the ground can shake and move laterally, causing buildings and structures to sway or collapse. Additionally, the surface can experience ground ruptures, landslides, and soil liquefaction, which can further damage infrastructure and pose a risk to human safety.

Earthquakes happen when these sections of Earth's crust move?

Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates along fault lines shift and release built-up pressure, causing the ground to shake. The sudden release of energy creates seismic waves that result in vibrations felt on the Earth's surface.
