What are Earthquakes? A sudden motion or shaking in the Earth caused by the abrupt release of slowly accumulated strain. Usually associated with faulting.

We’ve looked at plate tectonics... Now lets look at a possible outcome:

Section 1: How and Where Earthquakes Happen

Earthquake Ground shaking caused by the sudden and rapid movement of one block of rock slipping past another along fractures in Earth’s crust called FAULTS.

Aim: What are Earthquakes and their characteristics? I. Earthquakes – any vibrating, shaking, or rapid motion of Earth’s crust. A. Fault – zone of weakness.

Earthquakes. Quake Damage Car sunk into liquefied ground, New Zealand.

Earthquakes. Earthquakes A natural vibration of the ground caused when the stress built up between tectonic plates is suddenly released. There are three.

Earthquakes Chapter 6.1. Earthquakes & Plate Tectonics 1. Earthquakes are vibrations of the earth’s crust. a. Earthquakes occur when rocks under stress.

 Ch. 8 Sct. 1.  When rocks strain and potential energy builds up over time.  When the potential energy is released because the rock breaks, vibrations.

Earthquakes An earthquake is the shaking or trembling of the earth caused by the _Sudden_ movement of the earth’s crust. They usually occur where rocks.

Earth Science Mr. Barry.  Focus : the point where an earthquake originates  Epicenter : the point on Earth’s surface directly above the focus  Fault.

Seismographs Are instruments located at or near the surface of the Earth that record seismic waves.

Chapter 8 Section 1 Earthquakes: Vibration of Earth created when there is a rapid release of energy Caused by slippage along a fault Faults are fractures.

EARTHQUAKES, SEISMIC WAVES, & MONITORING SYSTEMS.

Measuring Earthquakes (5-2 Notes). Magnitude = a measure of an earthquake’s strength Based on seismic waves.

Earthquakes. Earthquakes occur due to the collision, separation or sliding motion of plate boundaries. The point of collision is called the focus point.

Strike-slip Fault Investigation. Earthquakes are caused by the motion along plate boundaries.

Earthquake An earthquake (also known as a tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves.

Objectives How does the energy of an earthquake travel through Earth? What are the scales used to measure the strength of an earthquake? How do.
