What do you called seintist an earthquake?
A scientist who studies earthquakes is called a seismologist. They analyze seismic waves and tectonic activity to better understand the causes and effects of earthquakes. Their work helps in earthquake prediction and mitigation efforts.
If there was an earthquake in Mars would they call it a Mars-quake?
Yes because in Earth an earthquake is called an earthquake but in mars it will be called a Mars-quake or even in any other planets.
What do they call earthquakes that occur on planet Mars?
On Mars, we'll probably call it a "Marsquake". Or, perhaps, we'll just say "Earthquake!" as we jump to get into our pressure suits just in case there is a crack in the dome. (Mars doesn't have enough atmosphere to support life; we'll have to build domed cities there. )
What are scientists call who study earthquakes in order to predict and prepare for them?
Scientists who study earthquakes in order to predict and prepare for them are called seismologists. They analyze seismic activity, study the behavior of faults, and assess the potential risks in order to mitigate the impact of earthquakes on communities. Their work is crucial for developing early warning systems and improving building codes to enhance earthquake resilience.
What do you call the scales that measure the earthquakes?
There are three: Mercalli, for intensity ergo the damages it produce and how it fells; Richter, to know the energy that is released in the epicenter; Moment Magnitude Scale, is a modern version of the Richter scale. I also think there is other version of the mercalli scale, with obviously other name, but I am not totally sure.
What do you call the vibration which occurs after main earthquake?
The earthquakes after a major earthquake in the same area are called aftershocks.
Weaker earthquakes that follow a strong earthquake are called?
Aftershocks. Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that occur in the same area as the initial strong earthquake. They can continue for days, weeks, or even months after the main event.
What do you called seintist an earthquake?

Earthquake after shocks?
Earthquake aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that follow a major earthquake. They occur as the earth's crust adjusts to the stress changes caused by the main earthquake. Aftershocks can continue for days, weeks, or even months after the initial earthquake, gradually decreasing in intensity and frequency.
What do you call the pacific coastal areas that experience frequent volcanoes and earthquakes?
Pacific Ring of Fire or Earthquake Belt... Hope I can help
Does shaking of the earth cause any damage?
Yes. A shaking of the earth is call an earthquake. In some cases earthquakes can be absolutely devastating.
Does an earthquake affect the solar system?
No, it only effects parts of earth. Earthquakes don't affect the whole solar system. That's why they call them earthquakes. Because they happen on the earth and the earth only.
What do you call a person that predicts an earthquake?
You would call that person lucky. The scientists who study earthquakes are known as seismologists and they say that it is currently not possible to predict when an earthquake will occur.Technically nobody as earthquake prediction is currently impossible however seismologists will produce seismological hazard assessments in an attempt to quantify the likelihood of occurrence of a seismic event of a given magnitude occurring within a given time period on a fault.Seismologist
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur frequently in japan?
Because of it's location directly on what vulcanologist call the "Pacific ring of fire", a high volcanism and earthquake area.
What are huge waves call caused by earthquakes?
Huge waves caused by earthquakes are called tsunamis. These are large ocean waves generated by the displacement of water due to undersea seismic activity, such as an earthquake. Tsunamis can travel across oceans and cause widespread destruction along coastlines.
What do you call the vibration from an earthquake?
Earthquake tremors.
What is the earthquake that results from the movement of plates?
All earthquakes are caused by the movements of plates (called tectonic plates). Sometimes two or more plates will get caught on each other while they are moving. When they stop being caught on each other, the resulting motion is what people call an earthquake. Some places (like the California area) more than others (most of the Midwest) are susceptible to frequent earthquakes. *Fun Fact: more people are killed after the earthquake (by fire and ruptured gas lines) than from the actual earthquake! - "The Janus List," NUMB3RS
