What creates a earthquake?
It result from the moving of rock deep under the ground. This movement is caused by the rubbing of one plate into another. The plates have jagged edges, and so when they rub against each other, they get stuck. Since plates constantly move, the plates that are stuck create great tension, and when they are finally free, a huge amount of energy is released. Shock waves move from focus in all directions, and it causes the earth to vibrate.
Is it possible to make a model building withstand Primary Waves Secondary Waves and Surface Waves of an earthquake?
yes
Are the S waves the fastest?
The question refers to the "following". In such circumstances would it be too much to expect that you make sure that there is something that is following?
How do earthquakes change the land?
Depending on the environment they are in when they occur, earthquakes can: - create faults and folds in the earth's crust - trigger local volcanoes - create tsunamis - destroy local man-made buildings and/or structures
What is ground movement?
brunnett beauty: What is ground movement? I believe ground movement is the plates moving in the earth just like how earthquakes form by plates in the ground colide to make movement in the earth.
Which seismic waves make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Rayleigh waves which are a type of seismic surface wave.
What type of seismic wave can make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Primary waves
What kind of movement is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves?
P waves - compress and expand the ground like a Accordion S waves - vibrate from side to side as well as up and down Surface waves - make the ground roll like ocean waves The Earthquake is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves.

What wave do earthquakes make?
Seismic waves Types: Primary waves Secondary waves Surface waves
What type of wave does an earthquake make?
seismic waves and pressure waves it depends on intensity of the earthquake
Which types of seismic wave produces the most severe ground movement?
Rayleigh waves (which are a type of surface wave) produce the largest amplitude and so most severe ground movements during earthquakes.Surface waves produce the most severe ground movements. They produce movements similar to waves in the water, where the water's particles move in a pattern that is almost circular. Surface waves can make the ground roll like ocean waves or shake buildings from side to side. They move more slowly then P waves or S waves.
What causes the ground to move?
Release of energy causes the seismic wave which make the ground shake.
How do geologists use seismograph to make maps of faults?
When seismic waves hit a fault, the waves are reflected off the fault.Seismograph can detect these reflected seismic waves.Geologists then use these data to map the fault's length and depth.
