Understanding Seismic Waves
Seismic waves are energy waves that travel through the Earth, primarily generated by earthquakes but also by explosions and volcanic activity. Aftershocks, smaller earthquakes that follow a larger one, occur due to shifts in stress across fault zones. These aftershocks typically diminish in size and frequency over time, adhering to predictable patterns. Understanding these concepts is crucial for grasping the dynamics of seismic activity.In this clip
