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
Shadow zone is the term used to indicate the region where no earthquake waves reach Earth's surface. This area occurs beyond 105 degrees from the epicenter of an earthquake.
It travels through the ground.
The ozone hole allows some radiations to reach the earth's surface. These radiations are high energy UV radiations.
The point on the surface directly above the origin of an earthquake is known as the epicenter. It is the location where the seismic waves produced by the earthquake first reach the Earth's surface. Scientists use the epicenter to determine the geographic location of the earthquake.
It depends, but 'shallow' (refering to the 'focus') earthquakes hit, usally, with a bigger force. This is because if the focus is closer to the surface of the earth (like in the Kobe earthquake) then the siesmic waves do not have as far to travel to reach the surface. But you can still have a deep focus with a big impact: if the siesmic waves are more powerful.

Shadow zone is the term used to indicate the region where no earthquake waves reach Earth's surface. This area occurs beyond 105 degrees from the epicenter of an earthquake.
The point on the earth's surface closest to the origin of an earthquake is called the epicenter. This is where the seismic waves generated by the earthquake first reach the surface.
Surface waves are formed when waves reach the Earth's surface. These are seismic waves that travel along the Earth's surface and can cause the most damage during an earthquake.
The epicenter
It travels through the ground.
The point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus is called the epicenter. It is where the seismic waves originating from the earthquake's focus first reach the surface.
Energy, in the form of radiation, takes about 8 minutes to reach from the surface of Sun to the surface of Earth.
The intensity of an earthquake measures the effect of an earthquake
The location on the Earth's surface directly above the earthquake focus is referred to as the epicenter. This is the point where seismic waves originating from the earthquake focus first reach the surface. It is usually where the strongest shaking is felt during an earthquake.
The ozone hole allows some radiations to reach the earth's surface. These radiations are high energy UV radiations.
