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
2023-06-02 18:38:26 14:40 WHY ARE SOME EARTHQUAKES CONSIDERED PERCEPTIBLE AND OTHERS NOT? We understand an earthquake as a process of generation and propagation of waves inside the Earth that, upon reaching the surface, produce movement and vibration of the ground. In order for this vibration to be perceived, it must have enough energy to generate … Read more
