What is the difference between tremor and earthquake
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:Earthquakes are the vibrations caused by rocks breaking under stress against an underground surface called a fault plane while a tremor is an involuntary movement of earth surface caused by stress in the underground rocks. They are both signs of seismic movement within the earth.
Answer:
Tremor is the shaking or trembling of the surface of the earth before an earthquake strikes, though it is common to talk about a tremor and an earthquake in synonymous terms.
• At some places, tremors are classified as earthquakes of smaller magnitude.
• Tremors take place before an earthquake and forewarn about an impending earthquake that may cause much damage.
• Earthquakes can trigger landslides in mountainous regions and even tsunamis when the epicenter of an earthquake is below the seabed.
