Earthquake: Earthquake waves, construction and working of seismograph, Earthquake zones of India, elastic rebound theory Preventive measures for structures constructed in Earthquake prone areas [Electronic Resources] - New Panvel AIKTC, School of Engg. & Tech. 2016 - Platform - eVersion |
Learning eResources created by AIKTC faculty. An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s Crust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time. At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. When the epicentre of a large earthquake is located offshore, the seabed may be displaced sufficiently to cause a tsunami. Earthquakes can also trigger landslides, and occasionally volcanic activity.
