Potential energy is transformed into seismic waves during an earthquake :)
The point where an earthquake actually starts is called the hypocenter or focus. This is the location within the Earth's crust where the seismic energy is initially released, generating the seismic waves that cause the shaking at the surface.
The point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake originates is called the "epicenter." It is the location where the seismic waves first reach the surface, and it is typically used to describe the location of the earthquake in reports and maps. The actual point within the Earth where the earthquake starts is known as the "focus" or "hypocenter."
The breaking and vibrating of the Earth's crust is commonly referred to as an earthquake. This phenomenon occurs when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere, resulting in seismic waves. Earthquakes can be caused by tectonic movements, volcanic activity, or human activities, and they can vary in magnitude and intensity.
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.
There are actually two types of surface waves: Love waves and Rayleigh waves. In both cases they are named for the people who predicted their existence. In the case of Love waves this was British mathematician Augustus Edward Hough Love.
what do you call the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves, which travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface. These waves are responsible for the shaking and damage caused by earthquakes.
epicentre
Sound waves. Music itself is not an energy.
Direct Answer: AsthenosphereExplained Answer: Earthquake waves normally go faster with increasing depth. However, below the lithosphere, the upper mantle contains a curious layer in which earthquake waves unexpectedly slow down. Geologists call this layer the asthenosphere.
The sudden movement of the earth's crust is called and earthquake

first of all electromagnetic waves are energy waves. and we call electromagnetic waves RADIATION.
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.
Because a seismic wave is something else. Seismic waves are waves sent through the earth as part of the earthquake itself. A tsunami is an ocean wave generated by water being displaced.
We call most of them heat, light, and x-rays.
That sounds very much like sound waves. (unintentional pun)
