The direction seismic waves travel.

What is all directions?

The fastest of the seismic waves

What is a Primary wave?

Only travels through solids

What is secondary wave?

Measures and records seismic waves

What is a seismograph?

The point within the earth where the energy is first released.

What is the focus?

Expresses the intensity of an EQ

What is the mercalli scale?

Measures the amount of energy released during an EQ

What is the Richter scale?

Complete destruction

What is XII on the Mercalli scale?

Can be used to find distance from an epicenter if lag time is known
