In seismology, strong ground motion is the strong earthquake shaking that occurs close to (less than about 50 km from) a causative fault. The strength...

Ground motion is the movement of the Earth’s surface from earthquakes or explosions. Ground motion is produced by seismic waves that are generated by sudden...

responses because they were not outfitted with instruments for recording strong ground motion; this prompted the Veterans Administration to later install seismometers...

may have resulted in more extreme ground shaking compared to earthquakes with similar Mw  values. Strong ground motion data was recorded at four accelerographs...

recorded in Greece. The peak ground motion lasted for 0.45 seconds, and strong ground motion lasted for 5 seconds. Aigio experienced the strongest shaking, and...

razed. At Elaiochori, located at an elevation of 525 m (1,722 ft), strong ground motion was greatly amplified. Seismic waves had short periods of 0.15–1...

earthquake ground motion is so strong that it causes the more sensitive seismometers to go off-scale. There is an entire science of strong ground motion, that...

science of strong ground motion may use some values from the ground response spectrum (calculated from recordings of surface ground motion from seismographs)...
