Question

explain the phenomena of production of shock wave

Answer 1

Shock waves due to nonlinear steepening. Shock waves can form due to steepening of ordinary waves. The best-known example of this phenomenon is ocean waves that form breakers on the shore. In shallow water, the speed of surface waves is dependent on the depth of the water.

Answer 2

Answer:

when the force of moving plates overcomes the friction at the edges,all of their stored energy gets released. The earth shakes or vibrates around this point. The vibrations at the point of release of energy give rise to shock waves
