What else can I help you with?
Are surface waves destructive?
Yes, surface waves can be destructive as they have the ability to cause damage to buildings, infrastructure, and coastlines during events such as earthquakes and tsunamis. These waves have a lot of energy and can cause significant destruction depending on their size and intensity.
How might an earthquake affect an ecosystem?
it can affect an ecosystem by killing it or burning it
What is the main factor in determining the risk that location might have an earthquake?
Magnitude :D
If you are swimming in the ocean during an earthquake - can you feel the earthquake?
Water will create violent waves and if you continue to swim you might be pushed and flipped around. It might sound fun but it is really dangerous and can cause serious injuries. Trust me! Get out as soon as you can!
What are the advantages of destructive testing?
Destructive testing provides accurate information on an object's performance and reliability by physically testing it to failure. It can uncover weaknesses and failure points that might not be evident in non-destructive testing. Additionally, it can help improve design and materials for future iterations of the product.
Why are the biggest earthquakes not the biggest killers?
No it isn't. There are several factors which contribute to earthquake fatalities: the size of the earthquake, the amount of population in the affected area, and the quality of construction of the buildings in that area. So, a huge earthquake taking place in an unpopulated region of Alaska, for example, would cause few if any fatalities, whereas a much small earthquake in Haiti caused lots of fatalities, due both to density of population and to poor construction standards.
Why might Canada be so unpopulated?
ITs not Unpopulated.The have at least 2 of the worlds population 4
Why can you feel an earthquake from far away from where it occured?
You can feel it because the waves of the earthquake are very destructive depending on the type of earthquake. The wave you might be feeling is the last wave of the earthquake which is the slowest, but the most powerful. Hope this helped! :)
Why might a magnitude 7 earthquake have less intensity than a magnitude 6 earthquake?
There are many factors. One would be the distance a person is from the epicenter. A person who is further from a magnitude 7 earthquake would be less affected by the shockwaves than a person nearer to the epicenter of a magnitude 6 earthquake. The place the person is in at the time of the earthquake also may affect the intensity of what he feels. If one is in a tall and stable building during an earthquake, he would not feel the vibrations as much as one standing on the streets. The scale measuring the intensity of earthquakes should be considered too. A Mercalli Intensity Scale measuring magnitude 6 may possibly be more powerful than a Richter Scale measuring a magnitude 7, as more damage is caused.
What can sometimes happen if the is an earthquake under the sea?
If there is an earthquake under the sea, you might die, if you are on a ship.
How many people did the earthquake in japan kill?
We are still unsure about the amount of deaths due to the earthquake it might be many and it might be a few. and due to that earthquake tsunamis are heading towards the US. Canada and Hawaii. the earthquake may have caused deaths already but the deaths might be starting.
Why is china more populated in the east?
There are a few reasons why China might more populated in the East than the West. The ocean is to the east for example.
Why do some countries restrict urban growth?
It might get over populated
How does an earthquake change the surface of the earth?
This might help: #http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake#Effects.2Fimpacts_of_earthquakes (:
Why did the Japan earthquake and tsunami?
If you mean how then here it is because the earthquake might of happened in the sea and went to japan and then the earthquake was strong enough to make a tsunami
Why might you want to leave a car during an earthquake?
Because you might get trapped in the car
Is it true that Japan had another earthquake?
Yes, there was a 6.6 earthquake on April 11th. They are continuing to have earthquakes they might have another.
