2. THE AREA WHERE SLIPPAGE FIRST OCCURS ALONG A FAULT

3. WHAT IS THE FOCUS?

4. A SERIES OF SMALL TREMORS FOLLOWING AN EARTHQUAKE

5. WHAT IS AN AFTERSHOCK
OR MICROQUAKE?

6. 90% OF CONTINENTAL
EARTHQUAKES
HAVE THIS KIND OF FOCUS
WHICH ALSO CAUSES THE
MOST DAMAGE

7. WHAT IS A SHALLOW FOCUS?

8. MOST QUAKES OCCUR NEAR THESE

9. WHAT IS A PLATE BOUNDARY?

10. ACCORDING TO THIS THEORY ACCUMULATED STRESS CAUSES
ROCK TO DEFORM OR FRACTURE
AND THEN SPRING BACK
INTO THEIR ORIGINAL
SHAPE CAUSING
AN EARTHQUAKE

11. WHAT IS THE ELASTIC
REBOUND THEORY?

12. A GROUP OF
INTERCONNECTED
FAULTS

13. WHAT IS A FAULT ZONE?

14. DAILY DOUBLE!!!! THIS CIRCULAR AREA INCLUDES
THE WEST COASTS OF NORTH &
SOUTH AMERICA, EASTERN ASIA,
& THE WESTERN PACIFIC ISLANDS

15. WHAT IS THE PACIFIC
RING OF FIRE?

16. OCEANIC CRUST PULLS AWAY FROM BOTH SIDES OF THIS AREA

17. WHAT IS A MID-OCEAN RIDGE?

18. THIS FAULT EXTENDS ALONG MUCH OF THE LENGTH OF CALIFORNIA

19. WHAT IS THE SAN ANDREAS FAULT?

20. COMPRESSION, TENSION & SHEARING

21. WHAT ARE 3 TYPES OF
STRESS FORCES ACTING
ON ROCK?

22. THIS TOOL RECORDS ENERGY RELEASED BY AN EARTHQUAKE

23. WHAT IS A SEISMOGRAPH?

24. THIS IS A SCIENTIST WHO STUDIES
EARTHQUAKES

25. WHAT IS A SEISMOLOGIST?

26. ARE NEEDED TO LOCATE THE EPICENTER OF AN EARTHQUAKE
AT LEAST THREE OF THESE
ARE NEEDED TO LOCATE THE
EPICENTER OF AN EARTHQUAKE

27. LOCATE THE EPICENTER OF
HOW MANY SEISMOGRAPH
STATIONS ARE NEEDED TO
LOCATE THE EPICENTER OF
AN EARTHQUAKE?

28. IS USED TO DETERMINE THE
THIS KIND OF GRAPH
IS USED TO DETERMINE THE
EPICENTER OF AN
EARTHQUAKE

29. WHAT IS A DISTANCE
TIME GRAPH?

30. TO DETERMINE HOW FAR AWAY FROM A SEISMOGRAPH STATION
AN EARTHQUAKE OCCURRED,
SCIENTISTS PLOT THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THESE 2 WAVES

31. WHAT ARE P & S WAVES?

32. THIS IS AN APPROXIMATE
MEASURE OF HOW MUCH
ENERGY THE EARTHQUAKE
RELEASES

33. WHAT IS THE MAGNITUDE?

34. A MAGNITUDE OF 2.5 OR LESS,
WHICH CANNOT BE FELT
BY PEOPLE

35. WHAT IS A MICROQUAKE?

36. VALUES FOR THE MAGNITUDE
DAILY DOUBLE!!!!!!!!!!
THIS SCALE PROVIDES
VALUES FOR THE MAGNITUDE
OF AN EARTHQUAKE

37. WHAT IS THE RICHTER SCALE?

38. THESE WAVES CAUSE THE MOST DAMAGE

39. WHAT ARE SURFACE WAVES?

40. A 7 OR ABOVE ON
THE RICHTER SCALE

41. WHAT IS A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE?

42. THESE WAVES ARRIVE FIRST AT
A SEISMOGRAPH STATION

43. WHAT ARE PRIMARY, OR P WAVES?

44. THESE WAVES CAN ONLY TRAVEL LITHOSPHERE, OR ANY SOLID
THROUGH THE
LITHOSPHERE, OR ANY SOLID

45. WHAT ARE SECONDARY WAVES,
OR S WAVES?

46. THESE ARE COMPRESSION
SEISMIC WAVES

47. WHAT ARE P WAVES?

48. THESE WAVES ARE THE LAST RECORDED AT A SEISMOGRAPH
TO GET
RECORDED AT A SEISMOGRAPH
STATION

49. WHAT ARE SURFACE WAVES?

50. SEISMIC WAVES CAN BE
GENERATED
THROUGH EARTHQUAKES
ON THE OCEAN FLOOR
WHICH CAN CAUSE THESE

51. WHAT IS A TSUNAMI?
