Bookmark or Share- Earthquakes: Definitions, Causes, Effect, Measurement - Geology ScienceEarthquakes are natural geological phenomena that occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust, resulting in seismic waves. These waves cause the ground to shake, often leading to the displacement of the Earth’s surface.
- Earthquake | Definition, Causes, Effects, & Facts | BritannicaSeismic waves are produced when some form of energy stored in Earth’s crust is suddenly released, usually when masses of rock straining against one another suddenly fracture and “slip.” Earthquakes occur most often along geologic faults, narrow zones where rock masses move in relation to one another.
- Seismology - WikipediaSeismology (/ saɪzˈmɒlədʒi, saɪs -/; from Ancient Greek σεισμός (seismós) meaning "earthquake" and -λογία (-logía) meaning "study of") is the scientific study of earthquakes (or generally, quakes) and the generation and propagation of elastic waves through the Earth or other planetary bodies.
- International Seismological CentreThe main purpose of the ISC is to compile the ISC Bulletin, regarded as the definitive record of the Earth's seismicity. Data is collected from over 130 agencies worldwide and is available online soon after being received.
- Seismicity - WikipediaSeismicity is a measure encompassing earthquake occurrences, mechanisms, and magnitude at a given geographical location. [1] As such, it summarizes a region's seismic activity. The term was coined by Beno Gutenberg and Charles Francis Richter in 1941. Seismicity is studied by geophysicists.
