11
Name the three types of faults.
$100
12
Normal Reverse Strike-slip
$100
13
In a normal fault, this is the part of the fault that drops.
$200
14
The hanging wall $200
15
This fault is created when stress squeezes the crust together.
$300
16
What is a reverse fault. $300
17
A fault-block mountain is created from two of these types of faults when their hanging walls drop.
$400
18
What are normal faults. $400
19
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
20
Since the hanging wall drops, a lake would form where the river hits the raised footwall.
$500
21
This force adds energy to rock and can cause it to change shape.
$100
22
What is stress? $100
23
This is a bend in a rock (either up or down) that comes when compression squeezes the Earth’s crust.
$200
24
What is a fold? $200
25
These are the three types of stress.
$300
26
What are compression, tension and shearing?
$300
27
This is the stress that PULLS the crust apart.
$400
28
What is tension? $400
29
This stress creates thrust faults.
$500
30
What is compression. $500
31
This is the spot on a fault under the surface where an earthquake occurs.
$100
32
What is the focus? $100
33
This is the order in which seismic waves arrive.
$200
34
What is P wave, S wave, and then Surface wave.
$200
35
This seismic wave moves by compressing and expanding like an accordian.
$300
36
What is the P wave? $300
37
Daily Double
38
This scale measures the energy released by an earthquake
$400
39
What is the Moment Magnitude scale?
$400
40
This is what happens to the S-P interval when a station is closer to the epicenter.
$500
41
Why does the S-P interval get smaller?
$500
42
This is a large wave of water created by an earthquke that occurs under the ocean.
$100
43
What is a Tsunami? $100
44
This is liquefaction. $200
45
What is a mudslide that happens when loosely packed soil is violently shaken mixing with groundwater? $200
46
This may cause more damage and injury than the original earthquake because buildings are already weakened. $300
47
What is an aftershock? $300
48
This design controls the shaking of a building during an earthquake.
$400
49
What is a base-isolated building?
$400
50
Because a building could be collapsing, this is what you should NOT do if you are in a building when an earthquake hits. $500
51
What is to run outside? $500
52
If geologists measure an increase in pressure along a fault, they know this may happen.
$100
53
What is an earthquake? $100
54
Creep meters & Laser-ranging devises measure this type of movement.
$200
55
What is horizontal movement?
$200
56
These devices only measure vertical movement.
$300
57
What are Satellites and tiltmeters
$300
58
This the type of fault that a creep meter would be stretched across.
$400
59
What is a strike-slip fault?
$400
60
This is why geologists cannot yet predict earthquakes.
$500
61
What is geologists can’t be sure WHEN & WHERE an earthquake will be released along a fault?
$500
62
This is a fold in rock that bends upward.
$100
63
What is an anticline? $100
64
This is another name for L-waves
$200
65
What is a surface wave? $200
66
This is what seismographs record.
$300
67
What is the movement of the ground?
$300
68
This is how scientists determine the distance from the seismograph station to the epicenter.
$400
69
What is to measure the difference in arrival times of the P and S waves?
$400
70
This is any change in volume or shape of the crust.
$500
71
What is deformation? $500
72
Final Game Questions Reading Seismograms
73
This is the S-P interval & amplitude of this seismogram.
74
What is 44 seconds & 170 mm
75
And the winner is…..
