Hello, I’m Avinto, and today we’ll explore the physics of earthquakes. Earthquakes occur due to the release of stress in the Earth’s crust, and we’ll learn about the elastic rebound theory that explains how this happens. We’ll identify the different types of seismic waves and explore how they propagate through the Earth. Additionally, you’ll learn how seismologists locate the epicenter of an earthquake, providing critical information for disaster response and safety.
