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.


What do you call the little earthquakes that come before a big earthquake?

Foreshock is what you call one of the little earthquakes that come before the big earthquake or main shock. The main shock may be followed by a little earthquake that's called the aftershock.


What is it called when earthquakes start below Earth's surface?

When do volcanic earthquakes occur?

An earthquake can be caused in two different ways, there is a volcanic earthquake and a tectonic earthquake. Tectonics earthquakes are much more common than volcanic earthquakes. Volcanic earthquakes are when magma, or molten rock, moves underground. This can cause earthquake directly in what is called a harmonic tremor, or indirectly by breaking and shifting rock. A tectonic earthquake is when stress built up by the movement of Earth's tectonic plates is released in the form of shaking.


What is the wave called as an aftershock of a hurricane?

Hurricanes do not have aftershocks; earthquakes do. The waves of any earthquake are seismic waves.
