The movement of Lithospheric plates causes them to vibrate. These vibrations can travel all round the earth and are known as earthquakes.Where this vibration does starts?
Answers
Answer:
WHEN TECTONIC PLATES MOVE, IT ALSO CAUSES MOVEMENTS AT THE FAULTS. THE LOCATION WHERE THE EARTHQUAKE BEGINS IS CALLED AN EPICENTER. AN EARTHQUAKES MOST INTENSE SHAKING IS OFTEN FELT NEAR THE EPICENTER.

Answer:
when the Lithospheric plates move, the
surface of the earth vibrates. The vibrations can travel
all round the earth. These vibrations are called
earthquakes . The place in the crust where the
movement starts is called the focus. The place on the
surface above the focus is called the epicentre.
Vibrations travel outwards from the epicentre as waves.
Greatest damage is usually closest to the epicentre and
the strength of the earthquake decreases away from
the centre.
Explanation:
There are three types
of earthquake waves:
1. P waves or
longitudinal waves
2. S waves or
transverse waves
3. L waves or surface
waves
