What else can I help you with?
A large crack in the ground is a?
A large crack in the ground is called a fault which is caused by and earthquake.
Could a large lake recede before an earthquake occurs?
Yes, a large lake can recede before an earthquake occurs due to the shifting of tectonic plates underground affecting the water levels. Additionally, changes in groundwater levels or natural fluctuations in water flow can also cause a lake to recede.
Who detects an earthquake?
Seismometers are instruments that detect earthquakes by measuring vibrations in the ground. These devices are usually placed in various locations around the world to monitor seismic activity. When an earthquake occurs, the seismometer records the seismic waves produced by the event.
What does major earthquake mean?
It means that the earthquake is large and powerful.
What are large waves of sea water triggered into motion by an earthquake called?
Large waves of seawater triggered into motion by an earthquake are called tsunamis. These waves are created when an underwater earthquake displaces a significant volume of water, leading to the rapid movement of the ocean's surface. Tsunamis can travel across entire ocean basins at high speeds and can cause devastating impacts when they reach coastal areas.
Which is most likely to result when a large earthquake occurs underwater?
tsunami
What is most likely to result when a large earthquake occurs under water?
A tsunami
Is it bad to be upstairs in an earthquake?
Not necessarily. If a house is sturdy enough to be able to go through a small earthquake, then there is no problem in being there. However, if a large earthquake occurs, a tsunami occurs after an earthquake, or if your house is old and therefore unstable, it is best to stay on the lowest level of you house.
When a tsunami occurs when a large volume of water suddenly?
A tsunami can happen if a large volume of water is suddenly displaced by an undersea earthquake.
A large crack in the ground is a?
A large crack in the ground is called a fault which is caused by and earthquake.
What is pressure caused by large movements in earth called?
earthquake
What is a Earthquake that can cause a large downhill movement of rocks called?
An avalanche
A shaking of the ground caused by the sudden movement of large blocks of rock along a fault.?
That's called an earthquake.
What are smaller earthquakes called that immediately follow a major earthquake?
earthquakes that immediately follow a major earthquake are called "aftershocks" as to small earthquakes before large earthquakes are called "foreshocks".
Could a large lake recede before an earthquake occurs?
Yes, a large lake can recede before an earthquake occurs due to the shifting of tectonic plates underground affecting the water levels. Additionally, changes in groundwater levels or natural fluctuations in water flow can also cause a lake to recede.

What is a wall of water caused by an earthquake called?
A wall of water caused by an earthquake is called a tsunami. Tsunamis are large ocean waves generated by seismic activity such as underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
