What is Understanding Earthquake Dynamics about?
Earthquakes are caused by the shaking of the earth due to the movement of tectonic plates, releasing energy that creates seismic waves. These waves are categorized into body waves (P waves and S waves) and surface waves, with P waves being the fastest and surface waves causing the most destruction. Earthquakes can be measured using the Richter scale for energy and the Mercalli scale for intensity, and they have various effects including ground shaking, landslides, and tsunamis.
