Do earthquakes have a little shake before the big earthquake?
Yes, earthquakes can have foreshocks, which are smaller earthquakes that occur before the main event. These foreshocks can help seismologists to predict the likelihood and intensity of an upcoming larger earthquake.
2009 Samoa earthquake in kid talk?
In 2009, there was a big shake in Samoa called an earthquake. It caused the ground to move a lot and buildings to fall down. It made a big wave in the ocean that flooded some areas.
What is the point deep inside the earth where energy is released causing an earthquake?
The point inside the Earth where energy is released causing an earthquake is called the focus or hypocenter. This is where the seismic waves originate and spread outwards, causing the ground to shake.
A sharp cliff caused by sudden movements along dip-slip faults is called a .?
A sharp cliff caused by sudden movements along dip-slip faults is called an earthquake. It causes the ground to shake for several seconds.
What section of earths crust moves when an earthquake occurs?
The section of Earth's crust that moves during an earthquake is called a fault plane. This is where the two tectonic plates that are in contact with each other slip past one another, causing the ground to shake.
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 answer is an earthquake because the plates move so suddenly it makes the earth shake so therefore it would be called an earthquake!
In an earthquake the point where a fault slips is called the?
The point where a fault slips during an earthquake is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the location underground where the seismic energy is released and spreads outwards, causing the ground to shake at the surface.
What do you get when you cross a cow with an earthquake?
Milk shake.
Do the movements in the ground cause the ground to shake?

How long after an earthquake is the phenomenon of additional quakes considered an aftershock?
Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that occur after a larger event (the mainshock) in the same area. If an even larger earthquake occurs, then the original mainshock becomes a foreshock and the bigger event becomes the mainshock.
Is earthquake is also called tsunami?
No, an earthquake is a sudden shift in tectonic plates caused by built up pressure. This cause the Ground to shake. A Tsunami is a giant wave. Tsunamis can be caused by an earthquake happening under the ocean
