Tsunamis, or what we used to call tidal waves, before the cause was understood as well as it is today.

What kind of energy does an earthquake deep underground release?

An earthquake deep underground releases seismic energy in the form of seismic waves. These waves carry energy from the point of the earthquake's origin (the focus) and cause the ground to shake as they propagate through the Earth's crust.


What kind of waves are associated with earthquakes?

Seismic waves are associated with earthquakes. These waves travel through the Earth's layers and cause shaking and ground displacement during an earthquake. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves, which travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface.


What kind of a wave is caused by an seismic activity?

Seismic activity generates seismic waves. These waves can be classified into two main types: body waves that travel through the Earth's interior (P-waves and S-waves) and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface (Love waves and Rayleigh waves).


it is a kind of seismic wave that travels fast and increases its speed with depth?

The seismic wave you are referring to is a P-wave, or primary wave. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and they are the fastest type of seismic wave, typically increasing in speed as they move deeper into the Earth due to higher pressure and density. Their ability to propagate through various materials makes them essential for understanding the Earth's internal structure and for seismic exploration.
