Describe two energy transformations that occur during an earthquake. *Hint - Potential to Kinetic and Kinetic to Mechanical.

Earthquakes release energy in several forms: The energy in seismic waves that cause the ground to shake. Heat energy associated with friction on the fault slip surface. Gravitational potential energy (the energy stored when lifting something off the ground, for example) may change as a result of the earthquake.

distance = 150m

displ = root (50 ^2 + 100^2)

root(2500+10000)

root 125000
