QUIZ What is Seismology?

Do Now – In Notebooks 1. What is an earthquake? 2. What kind of stress acts on a normal fault? Does the crust lengthen or shorten? 3. What is the difference.

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

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

Intro Objective 10/31/12 Locate the epicenter and focus of an earthquake Which is more powerful, an Earthquake, or a: A.hand grenade? B.stick of dynamite? C.nuclear bomb? D.meteor impact?

Earthquake Measurement  Seismograph  Seismogram  An instrument that detects seismic waves  A record of the seismic waves Show Mt. St. Helens Seismogram Show Seismograph Flipchart

Earthquake Measurement  S-P Time Method  Determines location of epicenter  Uses the time it takes the waves to travel from the epicenter to a seismograph station  Need at least THREE seismograph stations to determine location of EQ

Earthquake Measurement [San Francisco]

Earthquake Measurement  Richter Scale  Magnitude  Mercalli Scale  Measures magnitude of earthquake  Measure of energy released by an earthquake  Measures amount of damage from an earthquake

Earthquake Measurement

Earthquake Measurement [Valdivia]

Earthquake Measurement  Want to know where the most recent earthquakes are?

Earthquake Measurement  Summary:  A seismograph is an instrument used to detect and measure the strength of earthquakes. The S-P Time Method helps locate the epicenter of an earthquake, but it needs at least three seismograph stations. The Richter Scale measure the energy of an earthquake while the Mercalli Scale measures how much damage is done.

Objective 10/31/12 Outro Locate the epicenter and focus of an earthquake What? So What? Now What?
