Name the three types of faults. $100
Normal Reverse Strike-slip $100
In a normal fault, this is the part of the fault that drops. $200
The hanging wall $200
This fault is created when stress squeezes the crust together. $300
What is a reverse fault. $300
A fault-block mountain is created from two of these types of faults when their hanging walls drop. $400
What are normal faults. $400
If a river is flowing from the hanging wall to the footwall, this is what happens to the river if there is a normal fault. $500
Since the hanging wall drops, a lake would form where the river hits the raised footwall. $500
This force adds energy to rock and can cause it to change shape. $100
What is stress? $100
This is a bend in a rock (either up or down) that comes when compression squeezes the Earth’s crust. $200
What is a fold? $200
These are the three types of stress. $300
What are compression, tension and shearing? $300
This is the stress that PULLS the crust apart. $400
What is tension? $400
This stress creates thrust faults. $500
What is compression. $500
This is the spot on a fault under the surface where an earthquake occurs. $100
What is the focus? $100
This is the order in which seismic waves arrive. $200
What is P wave, S wave, and then Surface wave. $200
This seismic wave moves by compressing and expanding like an accordian. $300
What is the P wave? $300
Daily Double
This scale measures the energy released by an earthquake $400
What is the Moment Magnitude scale? $400
This is what happens to the S-P interval when a station is closer to the epicenter. $500
Why does the S-P interval get smaller? $500
This is a large wave of water created by an earthquke that occurs under the ocean. $100
What is a Tsunami? $100
This is liquefaction. $200
What is a mudslide that happens when loosely packed soil is violently shaken mixing with groundwater? $200
This may cause more damage and injury than the original earthquake because buildings are already weakened. $300
What is an aftershock? $300
This design controls the shaking of a building during an earthquake. $400
What is a base-isolated building? $400
Because a building could be collapsing, this is what you should NOT do if you are in a building when an earthquake hits. $500
What is to run outside? $500
If geologists measure an increase in pressure along a fault, they know this may happen. $100
What is an earthquake? $100
Creep meters & Laser-ranging devises measure this type of movement. $200
What is horizontal movement? $200
These devices only measure vertical movement. $300
What are Satellites and tiltmeters $300
This the type of fault that a creep meter would be stretched across. $400
What is a strike-slip fault? $400
This is why geologists cannot yet predict earthquakes. $500
What is geologists can’t be sure WHEN & WHERE an earthquake will be released along a fault? $500
This is a fold in rock that bends upward. $100
What is an anticline? $100
This is another name for L-waves $200
What is a surface wave? $200
This is what seismographs record. $300
What is the movement of the ground? $300
This is how scientists determine the distance from the seismograph station to the epicenter. $400
What is to measure the difference in arrival times of the P and S waves? $400
This is any change in volume or shape of the crust. $500
What is deformation? $500
