What All Should Know About Earthquakes

[Windsor]

It might be well to be a bit knowledgeable about earthquakes in case someone asks or wants to know more about them.
Since science was my chosen profession for 35 years, I might be a bit more able than most to explain it.

In hopes of a "knowing" society, I present this.

What's the difference between
an oscillatory and a trepidatory earthquake?



1. This calculation is just for engineers:

This is a trepidatory earthquake:

This is an oscillatory earthquake:

<a href="http://s1109.photobucket.com/albums/h436/scalabara/?action=view&amp;current=Earthquake2.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h436/scalabara/Earthquake2.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>


And this is a combination of both: (trepidatory and oscillatory)

Science is beautiful when it is well explained...

I am sure you would like some privacy to study this subject in greater detail.

This sort of earthquake can be quite devastating... Can't be measured with any richter scale..

 

[mollusk]

Wow wow..this kinds of earthquakes could cause a massive tsunami

many thanks for the upz bro...

earthquakes makes foundations act like jelly.

will return the favour asap

 

[eatshitndie]

in seismology, the longitudinal and transverse waves are called p- and s-wave respectively. p or primary because it travels faster and first to arrive on a seismograph. next to arrive is the slower s or secondary wave. the combination of the two that reaches the surface produces a rayleigh wave. rayleigh waves and effects are also seen in radio communications, with horizontal and vertical polarizations.

Massive tsunami of sperm

need you to lend me some instrument to conduct some experiment

 

[radon39]

THANKS Bro! suddenly I am interested in physics!!!

kudos to Windsor for such a well documented explanation and visualisation...my tsunami coming out now

 

[GoldenDragon]

These two types of earthquakes will lead only to blue black if one's face gets knocked. No other losses.

Molten 'lavas' flow, you do not know? after the earthquakes, the ground shakes also.

I like the up down up down kind of earthquake.

I feel so enlightened now.

Thank you Prof W.
