•Surface faulting
•Ground failure, either directly linked to a quake source of provoked by the
ground shaking.
•A tsunami, a Japanese word meaning a big wave, is formed originating from
the ocean floor due to an earthquake and also has the power to wipe out
structures and living organisms near the shore.

Sagot :

Answer:

The magnitude of an earthquake, usually expressed by the Richter Scale, is a measure of the amplitude of the seismic waves. The moment magnitude of an earthquake is a measure of the amount of energy released - an amount that can be estimated from seismograph readings.

The location below the earth's surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, and the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is called the epicenter. ... The largest, main earthquake is called the mainshock.

seismograph

When the Earth trembles, earthquakes spread energy in the form of seismic waves. A seismograph is the primary earthquake measuring instrument. The seismograph produces a digital graphic recording of the ground motion caused by the seismic waves. The digital recording is called a seismogra
