Tectonic activity causes potential energy to build up in the crust. An earthquake occurs when this potential energy is released within the crust. Which statement best describes what happens when the energy is released?
It generates seismic waves that spread out in all directions around Earth.
It generates heat waves that affect climate change around Earth.
It generates changes in the magnetic field of Earth.
It generates changes in the orbiting speed of Earth.

medium
amplitude
wave length
The shorter the wavelength, the _______ energy there is.
less
more
equivalent
