it lifts up the sea bed what pulls up vast amount of water it then represents waves called tsunami's.
Right after an earthquake, primary waves (P-waves) and secondary waves (S-waves) are generated. P-waves are compressional waves that travel the fastest and can move through both solids and liquids, while S-waves are shear waves that only move through solids and arrive after P-waves. These waves are critical for understanding the earthquake's magnitude and impact.
seismic waves
Potential energy is transformed into seismic waves during an earthquake :)
Seismic waves move outward from the source of an earthquake. These waves carry the energy released during the earthquake and can cause shaking and damage as they propagate through the Earth's crust.
The primary waves (P-waves) are the first to reach a seismograph after an earthquake. These waves are faster than other seismic waves and can travel through both solid and liquid materials.
The small waves on a seismogram after an earthquake typically represent aftershocks or smaller tremors following the main earthquake event. These waves can vary in size and frequency but are usually less intense than the initial earthquake.
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
Source earthquake waves are seismic waves produced directly from the earthquake's source, such as the initial rupture of rocks along a fault. These waves include P-waves and S-waves that travel through the Earth and are used to locate and study earthquakes. Source earthquake waves provide valuable information about the earthquake's characteristics and help in assessing its impact.
The zigzag lines recorded on a seismograph are called seismic waves. These waves represent the vibrations of the Earth caused by the release of energy during an earthquake. The different patterns and sizes of the waves help scientists analyze the earthquake's characteristics.
A seismogram records the ground movement caused by seismic waves from an earthquake. The squiggly lines represent the waves' amplitude and frequency. By analyzing these changes, seismologists can determine the earthquake's magnitude, location, and depth.
the bigger the waves the bigger the earthquake
Earthquake waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth's crust when an earthquake occurs. There are three main types of earthquake waves: primary (P) waves, secondary (S) waves, and surface waves. These waves can cause the ground to shake and can be detected by seismographs.
Earth is the medium for earthquake waves.
earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.
S waves, or Secondary waves, are earthquake waves during an earthquake. They crash after P waves ( Primary waves) and are less stronger than surface waves
