Question

How does seismic waves cause earthquakes?

Answer 1

Answer:

Seismic waves cause Earthquakes by shaking the ground aggressively and dangerously. These waves are usually calculated on a seismograph to calculate how hard the earthquake hit that area. A transform Boundary creates the tension when the tectonic plates gets stuck. It stays stuck for a long period of time. Then, at one point, the tectonic plates become unstuck which releases the tension into waves which are called seismic waves. Hope I answered you question.

Answer 2

Sound waves don't cause earthquakes.

When parts of the Earth shake and quake and rub against each other, THAT's an earthquake.

THEN, whenever anything is shaking, THAT makes sound waves.
