What else can I help you with?
Does the surface wave magnitude or M's measure the movement of seismic waves underneath the Earth's surface?
No, the surface wave magnitude or Ms measures the amplitude of ground motion but does not directly measure the movement of seismic waves underneath the Earth's surface. It is used to quantify the size of earthquakes based on the amplitude of surface waves.
How does mapping faults help predict earthquakes?
Geologists have developed instruments to measure changes in elevation in tilting of the land surface and ground movements along fault
What is it called when earthquakes start below Earth's surface?
All earthquakes occur underground, the exact place where the earthquake starts underground is called the Focus. The location where the earthquake first hits the surface of the earth is called the Epicenter! Hope I helped!
Most surface waves are caused by the action of 'earthquakes' or 'winds'?
Surface waves are primarily caused by earthquakes rather than winds. Earthquakes generate seismic waves that propagate along Earth's surface, leading to ground shaking. Winds, on the other hand, primarily generate ocean surface waves rather than seismic surface waves.
How do scientist know when intense storms move across the surface of neptune?
Scientist know this by the color difference on the planets surface.
What is instrument use to measure tremors or vibrations of the earths surface?
A seismometer is used to measure tremors or vibrations of the Earth's surface. This instrument can detect and record the movement of the ground caused by seismic waves resulting from natural events like earthquakes or man-made activities like explosions.
What instrument measures surface area?
Try a tape measure and a calculator to measure surface area.
What is solarimeter?
an instrument used to measure the flux of solar radiation through a surface.
What is a scientist who studies the surface of the earth?
A scientist who studies the surface of the Earth is called a geologist. Geologists analyze the composition, structure, and processes that shape the Earth's surface, such as mountains, valleys, and plains. They also study natural phenomena like earthquakes and volcanoes.
Which planet did scientist land an instrument to in 1997?
In 1997, scientists landed an instrument on Mars as part of the Mars Pathfinder mission. The instrument was a rover called Sojourner that explored the Martian surface and conducted experiments.
What measures the force that air molecules uses to push on a surface?
The measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface is air pressure. An instrument that is used to measure air pressure is a barometer.
What measures the forces that air molecules used to push on the surface?
The measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface is air pressure. An instrument that is used to measure air pressure is a barometer.
What is a Talysurf?
It is Taylsurf and not as spelt in the question. It is an instrument used to measure surface finish or texture in mechanical engineering.
What is an albedometer?
An albedometer is an instrument used to measure the albedo - the fraction of incident light or radiation reflected by a body - of a surface.
Does the surface wave magnitude or M's measure the movement of seismic waves underneath the Earth's surface?
No, the surface wave magnitude or Ms measures the amplitude of ground motion but does not directly measure the movement of seismic waves underneath the Earth's surface. It is used to quantify the size of earthquakes based on the amplitude of surface waves.
I want an information on earthquakes?
earthquakes are movements on the earths surface
Are earthquakes below the surface called tsunamis?
Mo, they are known as earthquakes but the earthquakes cause the tsunamis.
