Earthquakes and Earthquake Waves

Sixth Grade Science Unit 1 Lesson 6. Seismic Waves are the result of tectonic plate movements under the surface of Earth.

Goal  Locate the epicenter of an earthquake. What is an Epicenter? A point on the surface of the Earth directly above the FOCUS of the earthquake. The.

Epicenters Infer an earthquake’s epicenter from seismographic data.

 Most earthquakes occur at Plate Boundaries  The deepest earthquakes occur at subduction boundaries.

Unit 5: Earthquakes Mr. Ross Brown.

Earthquakes A sudden movement of the Earth’s crust that causes vibrations of surrounding rock called seismic waves. Intro to Earthquakes.
