2023-11-14 18:16:53 13:16 WHY IS THE DURATION OF EARTHQUAKES NOT PUBLISHED? Earthquakes have a duration of energy propagation in the seismic source, or hypocenter. However, once the waves leave the source, having different speeds, they distance themselves from each other. For this reason, the perception of the duration of an earthquake will vary from one … Read more

2023-09-11 00:09:51 What is an earthquake? An earthquake (Earthquake or Earth Tremor) corresponds to the process of generating elastic waves and their subsequent propagation through the interior of the Earth. When they reach the Earth’s surface, these waves produce movement and vibration of the ground. In Chile, the term Earthquake is used for an earthquake … Read more

2023-08-06 20:39:37 15:38 WHY IS THE DURATION OF THE EARTHQUAKES NOT PUBLISHED? Earthquakes have a duration of energy propagation at the seismic source, or hypocenter. However, once the waves leave the source, having different speeds, they distance themselves from each other. For this reason, the perception of duration of an earthquake will vary from one … Read more
2023-08-04 21:41:50 14:54 WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EPICENTER AND HYPOCENTER OF AN EARTHQUAKE? The hypocenter is the point inside the Earth where the rupture that generates an earthquake begins (latitude, longitude, depth). If this point is projected to the Earth’s surface, the epicenter is obtained, that is, the epicenter corresponds to the point … Read more
