Question

differentiate between fault and seismic wave

Answer 1

In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall. A strike-slip fault is one along which the movement has been parallel to the fault plane. Aseismic wave is the energy wavesent out by an earthquake. Themovement of the seismic wavecauses the ground to shake.

Answer 2

As the fault zone slips seismic waves are released. Seismic waves - There are two groups of earthquake waves called body waves and surface waves. Body waves travel from the earthquake focus in all directions whereas surface waves travel around the earth rather than through it. Surface waves are slower than body waves.
