We can feel earthquakes 100 miles away due to the seismic waves they generate, which travel through the Earth's crust. There are two main types of seismic waves: P-waves (primary or compressional waves) and S-waves (secondary or shear waves). P-waves travel faster and can be felt first, while S-waves, which cause more intense shaking, follow. The energy released during an earthquake can travel long distances, and the geological conditions, such as the type of soil and rock, can influence how far the vibrations are felt.

How do you find the number of miles in 100 kilometers?

To convert kilometers to miles, you can use the conversion factor where 1 kilometer is approximately equal to 0.621371 miles. To find the number of miles in 100 kilometers, you multiply 100 by this conversion factor: 100 kilometers × 0.621371 miles/kilometer, which equals about 62.1371 miles. Therefore, 100 kilometers is roughly 62.14 miles.
