Earthquakes can generate three types of forces: 1. Compressive Forces: Compressive forces take the form of pressure waves that move through the Earth's crust, pushing and pulling rocks together. 2. Shear Forces: Shear forces cause rocks in the Earth's crust to slide past each other. They are generatRead more
Earthquakes can generate three types of forces:
1. Compressive Forces: Compressive forces take the form of pressure waves that move through the Earth’s crust, pushing and pulling rocks together.
2. Shear Forces: Shear forces cause rocks in the Earth’s crust to slide past each other. They are generated when two segments of the Earth’s crust move in opposite directions, producing a sliding motion along a fault line.
3. Tensional Forces: Tensional forces are generated when rocks are pulled apart as they move in opposite directions along a fault line. These forces produce tensile stress, which can lead to fracturing and other seismic activity.
