tell me more about earthquake?

Answer 1

(m)

An earthquake is a phenomenon that results from and is powered by the sudden release of stored energy that radiates seismic waves. At the Earth's surface, earthquakes may manifest themselves by a shaking or displacement of the ground and sometimes tsunamis, which may lead to loss of life and destruction of property.

Earthquakes may occur naturally or as a result of human activities. In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event—whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans—that generates seismic waves

Answer 2

Do explosion inside earth generate the earthquake, or on the contrary?


Be in fact this question is generated by existence of opinion of West master concerning Drifting Continents that is the continents on the move. With this theory they have known the existence of million earthquake times every year in this planet. But they forget that husk the earth this have ever been very firm strong, hence there are ocean irrigate two-third from entire all its surface and people not afraid to sail expressionless where on earth will fall in place slide into inside Earth.

Continental Drift told with complete description as theory, is first time published by Alfred Wegener, meteorologis Germany, in the year 1912. He explained that formerly predicted the 200 of million year ago big continent Pangaea have been broken, each apart up to become some islands and continents now. Unfortunnely he didn't explain the cause broken this Pangaea, hence that theory not yet ever been completed as told, but newly in form of the anticipation generated by situation and the experience befall. Those only pursuant to this continents form of compatible back parts connected, and also the animal and fossils almost the same at those continents. Until now those continents still make a move then generate the earthquake deliver the death and disaster.

Answer 3

Earth plates in the Western USA move OVER eachother. While they are moving, the movement creates friction, creating an earthquake. Rain can cause he plates to move from the sheer weight it brings on the earth plates. The earthquakes in the west caused volcanoes to form the Rocky Mountains.
In the Eastern USA, the plates COLLIDE against eachother, causing the earthquakes, which made the Appalachian Trail.

Answer 4

Earthquake happens when two or more tectonic plates collide, or sliding past each other. Remember the mantle of the earth is liqueous. It's like raft on the river. Volcanic activity can also create an earthquake. So do nuclear explosions.

Answer 6

Hi,

Not all earth quakes cause the same damage. Some shake the ground more than others. They are caused when plates under the surface we walk on move violently and hit each other.
