3
It’s Not My Fault $100 Q What is the surface along which rocks break and move?
4
It’s Not My Fault $100 A Fault
5
It’s Not My Fault $200 Q Three main types of faults
6
It’s Not My Fault $200 A normal, reverse, strike-slip
7
It’s Not My Fault $300 Q List the forces found at each type of fault
8
It’s Not My Fault $300 A Normal TENSION Reverse COMPRESSION Strike-Slip SHEARING
9
It’s Not My Fault $400 Q Name the type of fault shown here
10
It’s Not My Fault $400 A Normal fault
11
It’s Not My Fault $500 Q This is the total force acting on rocks at one point in time.
12
It’s Not My Fault $500 A Stress
13
Catch the Wave $100 Q List the 3 major types of waves
14
Catch the Wave $100 A P-waves, S-waves, Surface waves
15
Catch the Wave $200 Q Arrange the 3 types of waves in order from slowest to fastest AND from least destructive to most destructive ANSWER BOTH FOR CREDIT
16
Catch the Wave $200 A Slow Fast Surface, S, P Least Most destructive P, S, Surface
17
Catch the Wave $300 Q Which type(s) of waves originate at the focus?
18
Catch the Wave $300 A P and S waves surface waves occur….at the surface!!
19
Catch the Wave $400 Q Roughly, what time did the S-wave arrive at this seismic station?
20
Catch the Wave $400 A ~38-40 minute mark
21
Catch the Wave $500 Q How can we calculate the epicenter of an earthquake? Be sure to be specific with steps/process [4 major steps]
22
Catch the Wave $500 A 1.Difference between P and S waves from seismogram 2.Plot on Travel-Time Curve graph 3.Locate epicentral distance (radius) 4.Use 3 seismic stations intersection=epicenter
23
How Crazy Was That? $100 Q Scale to measure earthquakes based on their magnitude and energy of the largest seismic wave.
24
How Crazy Was That? $100 A Richter scale
25
How Crazy Was That? $200 Q Measure of energy released by an earthquake.
26
How Crazy Was That? $200 A Magnitude
27
How Crazy Was That? $300 Q Compare and contrast a seismogram & seismograph –+50 for seismometer
28
How Crazy Was That? $300 A Seismograph= instrument detects and records seismic waves Seismogram=graph showing the recorded seismic motion Seismometer= pen that records seismic motion onto siesmogram
29
How Crazy Was That? $400 Q Moment magnitude scale (MMS) measures earthquakes based on this?
30
How Crazy Was That? $400 A Total amount of energy released during earthquake (displacement of rock & rigidity of rock)
31
How Crazy Was That? $500 Q Why don’t scientists typically use the Richter Scale anymore?
32
How Crazy Was That? $500 A Richter used locally and can only measure EQ between 3.0-7.0; not accurate enough & requires Richter device.
33
Til the Landslide Brought Me Down $100 Q What can be said about the Ring of Fire and earthquake activity? WHY?
34
Til the Landslide Brought Me Down $100 A Ring of Fire is a ring of volcanic activity which also mirrors earthquake activity due to the plate boundary interactions.
35
Til the Landslide Brought Me Down $200 Q Briefly describe an ideal design MATERIAL for earthquake proof buildings. Support your answer.
36
Til the Landslide Brought Me Down $200 A Wood/Steel more flexible and will be able to support structure and absorb some of seismic energy
37
Til the Landslide Brought Me Down $300 Q Describe how liquefaction may occur during/after an earthquake.
38
Til the Landslide Brought Me Down $300 A Soil & other loose material becomes super saturated with water (flooding and damage to water lines) –Unable to support buildings and sturctures
39
Til the Landslide Brought Me Down $400 Q Why is it incorrect to refer to a tsunami as a tidal wave?
40
Til the Landslide Brought Me Down $400 A Tsunami is caused by sudden displacement in ocean floor and increases volume of water moving ashore but not necessarily in height. NOT CONTROLLED BY MOON/SUN LIKE TYPICAL OCEAN WAVES
41
Til the Landslide Brought Me Down $500 Q Describe 2 ways that scientists can determine the probability of an earthquake occurring in a particular area.
42
Til the Landslide Brought Me Down $500 A Studying EQ history/patterns/trends Strain accumulation in rock & @ faults Charting seismic gaps (sections located around faults that are known to be active but have been dormant)
43
Mixed Bag $100 Q What is the largest mammal?
44
Mixed Bag $100 A Blue whale
45
Mixed Bag $200 Q 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = ?
46
Mixed Bag $200 A 12,345,678,987,654,321 !
47
Mixed Bag $300 Q The average person falls asleep in how many minutes? Must be within 1 minute
48
Mixed Bag $300 A 7 minutes
49
Mixed Bag $400 Q What is the most common name in the world?
50
Mixed Bag $400 A Mohammed
51
Mixed Bag $500 Q What color was Cocoa-Cola originally?
52
Mixed Bag $500 A Brown! It’s a myth/rumor that it was originally green.
