An elastic wave in the Earth produced by an earthquake or other means is known as a seismic wave. These waves are generated by the sudden release of energy during tectonic movements and can travel through the Earth's crust, mantle, and core. Seismic waves are primarily categorized into two types: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) and surface waves, each exhibiting different properties and behaviors as they propagate through various geological materials. Understanding these waves is crucial for studying earthquake dynamics and assessing potential impacts.

What is the difference between natural and cultural world heritage?
natural means produced by nature (part of the earth). cultural means produced by man.
What are examples of epicenter?
An epicenter means the point on the earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake so...it probably means where the spot on the earth's surface where the earthquake is really strong. To find a specific example, I suggest you search earthquakes.
How faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the stress energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces.
What does major earthquake mean?
It means that the earthquake is large and powerful.
Why did they name earthquake?
The term "earthquake" comes from the word "earth" meaning ground and "quake" meaning to shake or tremble. It was named as such because it describes the natural phenomenon where the ground shakes due to the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface.
What does seismic wave mean?
An elastic wave in the earth produced by an earthquake or other means
What are seimics waves?
A seimic wave is an elastic wave in the earth produced by an earthquake or other means. <This answer is so right you better look at it for 999 times> hehehe
What does earth tremor mean?
Earth tremor means Earthquake
Why is a earthquake called a earthquake?
An earthquake is called so because it describes the shaking of the ground caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust. The term "earthquake" combines "earth," referring to the ground, and "quake," which means to shake or tremble.
The science of earthquake comes from which greek word?
Science of earthquakes = seismology. 'Seismos' is the Greek word for Earthquake and Ology means 'the study of'.

What happens to the Earth's crust during an earthquake?
it erodes but i cant erode cauz erode means to eat through so it shifts

What does the root word seismo mean?
it means Quake, as in seismograph, measure quakes like earthquakes. :)
