Question

The lines joining the place of equal intensity of seismic waves are known as
A) Seisimice line
B) Isoseisimic line
C) Isogonal line
D) Isogonic line

Answer 1

The lines joining the place of equal intensity of seismic waves are known as Isoseismal lines. (Option b)

• Isoseismal is a line that connects similar-intensity spots on the Earth's surface. It's a line on a map that separates locations of identical magnitude for a specific earthquake. The magnitude and the intensity of an earthquake are two different things. An earthquake's intensity is determined by the number of damage it does, based on visible results.

• An Isohyet line is a map line that connects sites with the same percentage of precipitation during a specific time period. The isohyetal approach is a technique for determining average rainfall across a specific area.

• Isobars are lines on a weather map that connect regions with the same atmospheric pressure. The numbers on it represent millibars of atmospheric pressure.

• On weather maps, Isotherms are lines that connect points of identical temperature.
