THE AREA WHERE SLIPPAGE FIRST OCCURS ALONG A FAULT
WHAT IS THE FOCUS?
A SERIES OF SMALL TREMORS FOLLOWING AN EARTHQUAKE
WHAT IS AN AFTERSHOCK OR MICROQUAKE?
90% OF CONTINENTAL EARTHQUAKES HAVE THIS KIND OF FOCUS WHICH ALSO CAUSES THE MOST DAMAGE
WHAT IS A SHALLOW FOCUS?
MOST QUAKES OCCUR NEAR THESE
WHAT IS A PLATE BOUNDARY?
ACCORDING TO THIS THEORY ACCUMULATED STRESS CAUSES ROCK TO DEFORM OR FRACTURE AND THEN SPRING BACK INTO THEIR ORIGINAL SHAPE CAUSING AN EARTHQUAKE
WHAT IS THE ELASTIC REBOUND THEORY?
A GROUP OF INTERCONNECTED FAULTS
WHAT IS A FAULT ZONE?
DAILY DOUBLE!!!! THIS CIRCULAR AREA INCLUDES THE WEST COASTS OF NORTH & SOUTH AMERICA, EASTERN ASIA, & THE WESTERN PACIFIC ISLANDS
WHAT IS THE PACIFIC RING OF FIRE?
OCEANIC CRUST PULLS AWAY FROM BOTH SIDES OF THIS AREA
WHAT IS A MID-OCEAN RIDGE?
THIS FAULT EXTENDS ALONG MUCH OF THE LENGTH OF CALIFORNIA
WHAT IS THE SAN ANDREAS FAULT?
COMPRESSION, TENSION & SHEARING
WHAT ARE 3 TYPES OF STRESS FORCES ACTING ON ROCK?
THIS TOOL RECORDS ENERGY RELEASED BY AN EARTHQUAKE
WHAT IS A SEISMOGRAPH?
THIS IS A SCIENTIST WHO STUDIES EARTHQUAKES
WHAT IS A SEISMOLOGIST?
ARE NEEDED TO LOCATE THE EPICENTER OF AN EARTHQUAKE AT LEAST THREE OF THESE ARE NEEDED TO LOCATE THE EPICENTER OF AN EARTHQUAKE
LOCATE THE EPICENTER OF HOW MANY SEISMOGRAPH STATIONS ARE NEEDED TO LOCATE THE EPICENTER OF AN EARTHQUAKE?
IS USED TO DETERMINE THE THIS KIND OF GRAPH IS USED TO DETERMINE THE EPICENTER OF AN EARTHQUAKE
WHAT IS A DISTANCE TIME GRAPH?
TO DETERMINE HOW FAR AWAY FROM A SEISMOGRAPH STATION AN EARTHQUAKE OCCURRED, SCIENTISTS PLOT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE 2 WAVES
WHAT ARE P & S WAVES?
THIS IS AN APPROXIMATE MEASURE OF HOW MUCH ENERGY THE EARTHQUAKE RELEASES
WHAT IS THE MAGNITUDE?
A MAGNITUDE OF 2.5 OR LESS, WHICH CANNOT BE FELT BY PEOPLE
WHAT IS A MICROQUAKE?
VALUES FOR THE MAGNITUDE DAILY DOUBLE!!!!!!!!!! THIS SCALE PROVIDES VALUES FOR THE MAGNITUDE OF AN EARTHQUAKE
WHAT IS THE RICHTER SCALE?
THESE WAVES CAUSE THE MOST DAMAGE
WHAT ARE SURFACE WAVES?
A 7 OR ABOVE ON THE RICHTER SCALE
WHAT IS A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE?
THESE WAVES ARRIVE FIRST AT A SEISMOGRAPH STATION
WHAT ARE PRIMARY, OR P WAVES?
THESE WAVES CAN ONLY TRAVEL LITHOSPHERE, OR ANY SOLID THROUGH THE LITHOSPHERE, OR ANY SOLID
WHAT ARE SECONDARY WAVES, OR S WAVES?
THESE ARE COMPRESSION SEISMIC WAVES
WHAT ARE P WAVES?
THESE WAVES ARE THE LAST RECORDED AT A SEISMOGRAPH TO GET RECORDED AT A SEISMOGRAPH STATION
WHAT ARE SURFACE WAVES?
SEISMIC WAVES CAN BE GENERATED THROUGH EARTHQUAKES ON THE OCEAN FLOOR WHICH CAN CAUSE THESE
WHAT IS A TSUNAMI?
