Földrengéskeltett

Földrengéskeltett is a Hungarian term that translates to "earthquake-induced" or "seismically induced" in English. It is used to describe phenomena, events, or effects that are directly caused by an earthquake. This can encompass a wide range of occurrences, from the immediate shaking of the ground to more complex secondary consequences.

When referring to geological features, földrengéskeltett can describe the formation of new faults, landslides, or liquefaction of soil. Liquefaction is a process where saturated soil, under the stress of seismic waves, temporarily loses its strength and behaves like a liquid. This can lead to significant structural damage as foundations sink or tilt.

In the context of human-made structures, földrengéskeltett refers to the damage or destruction of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure due to the forces exerted by an earthquake. This damage can range from minor cracks to complete collapse.

Beyond physical impacts, the term can also be applied to events like tsunamis, which are often triggered by underwater earthquakes. Similarly, volcanic eruptions can sometimes be preceded or accompanied by seismic activity, making them potentially földrengéskeltett. The study of these induced phenomena is crucial for understanding earthquake hazards and developing mitigation strategies.
