You will learn to explain how earthquakes result from the buildup of energy in rocks. You will learn to describe how compression, tension, and shear forces make rocks move along faults. You will learn to distinguish among normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults.

Seismographs - are used to measure P-waves, S-waves, & surface waves
29
Magnitude Richter scale measures the strength of the break; describes how much energy is released by the earthquake; an increase of 1.0 has 32x as much energy
30
Richter Scale – 1.0 to 8.9 Richter Scale – 1.0 to 8.9
