Glenn Biasi 1 Leiph Preston 2 and Ileana Tibuleac 1 Nevada Seismological Laboratory University of Nevada Reno Reno NV 89557 2 Sandia National Laboratory Albuquerque NM Overview. By. : 10 grade. What is an earthquake ?. Simply, earthquakes are the rumblings, shaking or rolling of the earth's surface. It is usually what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another, or break apart from each other as a result of tension caused by prolonged energy build up. .

As seismic waves travel through different mediums in the earth, the different mediums create different wave velocities. With geophones, the amplitude of the wave response can be measured at the surface and overlaid to create travel-time curves that tell what’s underneath.. ITET G. .

The behaviour of seismic waves in the different layers of the earth provides the most authentic evidence about the composition and structure of the earth. The different types of waves, generated during the occurrence of an earthquake, are generally divided into three broad categories: . teleseisms. ), the waves of greatest amplitudes are generally surface waves that have followed the Earth’s surface and not penetrated the interior. The exceptions are seismograms of deep focus earthquakes, which are not effective generators of surface waves, so that the body waves are more prominent. The dominance of surface waves on . .
