What is the difference between a moon quake and an earthquake?

Answer 1

An earthquake is a http://www.answers.com/topic/tremor of the earth's surface usually triggered by the release of underground stress along http://www.answers.com/topic/fault lines while the tremor is A shaking or vibrating movement, as of the earth.

Answer 2

A moonquake is a quake on the Moon caused by tidal forces, impact events, or thermal expansion. An earthquake is a quake on Earth caused by the shifting of tectonic plates. Both are seismic activities but occur on different astronomical bodies.

Answer 3

A tornado is an atmospheric event that gets its power from instabilities in the air.

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. A tornado moves in a given direction, usually along a straight, narrow damage path. Tornadoes cause damage with wind and flying debris.

An earthquake is a geologic event originating underground.

An earthquake is essentially the shaking of the earth's surface. An earthquake is most intense at a point called its epicenter and diminishes in intensity with distance from this point. Earthquakes cause damage through the shaking, deformation, and in some cases fracturing of the ground.

Answer 5

They're two entirely different phenomena which don't have much in common at all, so it's difficult to describe the "difference" between them (sort of like describing the difference between a car and a goat).

An earthquake is a movement in the Earth's crust. A typhoon is, basically, a hurricane. (The same kind of storm is called a hurricane if it occurs in the Atlantic or the eastern Pacific, and a typhoon if it occurs in the western Pacific.)

Answer 6

A earthquake is huge than a tremor, a tremor is a little wave that brok the earths crust.That is what I leared

Answer 7

Earthquakes on the moon are Moonquakes and earthquakes on Earth are called Earthquakes.
