What is a representation usually on a plane surface showing region of the earth?
A representation on a plane surface showing regions of the Earth is called a 'projection'. Or it might simply be called a map.
What is the science in which earthquakes are studied called?
Earthquakes science
What is the name given to people who predict earthquakes?
Active faults generate earthquakes. Geologists study them to better understand where and when future earthquakes will occur.Geologists study faults to better understand where large earthquakes originate. The Earth's plates are constantly moving, but most faults are motionless, locked by friction, until the day when the force on the fault builds up enough to overcome the resistance. When that happens, the rocks on either side of the fault lurch into motion, releasing pent-up energy in an earthquake. Most earthquakes are so small that special instruments are needed to detect them, but a few release huge amounts of energy, causing widespread destruction. During most earthquakes, fault motion stays below the Earth's surface, but in large earthquakes, fault motion may break through to the surface, offsetting rocks and sediments, as well as anything built on the fault, as much as ten feet or more.
What is a very thin transparent film of color painted over an already-painted surface is called?
That is usually called a glaze.
Major earthquakes are sometimes preceded by smaller earthquakes called .?
before shokes
Are earthquakes below the surface called tsunamis?
Mo, they are known as earthquakes but the earthquakes cause the tsunamis.
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!
What is the membrane aruond the nucleus called?
It is called nuclear envelop.It is a double membrane.
Shock waves that are felt on the earth's surface as the results of faulting in the crust are called?
Seismic waves or tremors
What is it called when earth's surface move?
When Earth's surface moves, it is called tectonic plate movement. This movement is responsible for earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
What are Cracks in the ground caused by earthquakes called?
cracks in the ground caused by earthquakesFaults. Cracks in the earths crust usually caused by earthquakes are called faults.No, their not! Faults are to do with tectonic plates, earthquake cracks are called earthquake cracks.
Waves produced by earthquakes are called?
Waves produced by earthquakes are called seismic waves. These waves can be further categorized into primary (P-waves), secondary (S-waves), and surface waves.
Do glaciers cause valleys or earthquakes?
Glaciers can shape valleys through a process called glaciation, where the movement and erosion of ice carve out the landscape. However, glaciers do not cause earthquakes as they are not related to tectonic plate movement. Earthquakes usually occur due to the shifting of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface.
Why are earthquakes near volcanoes?
Because the same rifts in the mantle that bring magma to the surface (vulcanism) also cause plate shifts (earthquakes). Such an area is called "seismically active".
The point on earths surface right above the spot where the first movement of an earthquake occurs is called earthquakes?
Focus
Sudden movements of rock layers beneath the surface cause vibration called?
what are movement of rock layers
How are earthquakes on mars called?
Earthquakes on Mars are called "marsquakes." These seismic events are generated by tectonic activity and impacts from meteorites on the Martian surface. Marsquakes are less frequent and less powerful than earthquakes on Earth due to Mars' smaller size and cooler interior.
