20. Types of Stress  Three main types of stress: –Tension: rocks are stretched –Compression: rocks are squeezed –Shear:rocks slide horizontal in opposite directions 5.1 Interactions at Plate Boundaries Return to quiz

21. Fractures and Faults  A fracture is a break or crack in rock. If rock on side of a fracture has moved relative to the other side it is called a fault. Three main types of faults Normal faults Reverse faults Strike-slip faults 5.1 Interactions at Plate Boundaries Return to quiz

22. Reverse Faults  Reverse faults result from compression stress and slope at an angle.  Hanging wall up relative to footwall. 5.1 Interactions at Plate Boundaries Return to quiz

23. Normal Faults  Normal faults result from tension stress and slope at an angle.  Hanging wall down relative to footwall. 5.1 Interactions at Plate Boundaries Return to quiz

24. Strike-Slip Faults  Strike-slip faults result from shearing stress and are often vertical.  San Andreas Fault in California. (p.212) 5.1 Interactions at Plate Boundaries Return to quiz

25. Focus & Epicenter  The focus is the location on the fault where an earthquake begins. 6.1 Earthquakes and Plate Boundaries The closer the focus is to the surface, the stronger the shaking will be. The point on Earth’s surface directly above the focus is the epicenter. Return to quiz

26. Focus & Epicenter  The focus is the location on the fault where an earthquake begins. 6.1 Earthquakes and Plate Boundaries The closer the focus is to the surface, the stronger the shaking will be. The point on Earth’s surface directly above the focus is the epicenter. Return to quiz

27. Earthquakes Away from Plate Boundaries 6.1 Earthquakes and Plate Boundaries  Not all earthquakes happen at plate boundaries.  New Madris Earthquakes of 1911 Millions of years ago, a long zone of intense faulting was formed when the crust began to pull apart, but did not break completely. Today, the crust is being compressed, or squeezed together. (p. 246) Return to quiz

28. Seismic Wave Waves move outward from the focus in all directions. 3 main types of seismic waves.  Waves of energy that are produced at the focus of an earthquake. 6.2 Earthquakes and Seismic Waves Return to quiz

29. 3. Surface Waves 6.2 Earthquakes and Seismic Waves Return to quiz

30. 1. Primary Waves (P-waves) 6.2 Earthquakes and Seismic Waves Return to quiz

31. 2. Secondary Waves (S-waves) 6.2 Earthquakes and Seismic Waves Return to quiz

32. Locating an Epicenter  Triangulation is used to locate the epicenter. This method is based on the speeds of the seismic waves. At least three seismographs must record the distances. 6.3 Measuring Earthquakes Return to quiz

33. Measuring Earthquake Size  Magnitude measures the amount of energy released by an earthquake. Determined by the buildup of elastic strain energy in the crust, at place where rupture occurs Magnitude scale is based on record of height of ground motion and ranges from 0–9. Richter Magnitude Scale 6.3 Measuring Earthquakes Return to quiz

34. Moment Magnitude Scale  Used today because it is a more accurate scale for measuring earthquake size. Based on the amount of energy released during an earthquake. 6.3 Measuring Earthquakes Return to quiz

35. Predicting Earthquakes  At this time, geologists cannot predict earthquakes.  Geologists can, however, determine the seismic risk by locating active faults and where past earthquakes have occurred.  Geologists create seismic risk maps. (p.274) 6.3 Measuring Earthquakes Return to quiz
