EARTHQUAKES
5
Earthquake Release of energy when pressure and/or stress is built up between rocks Usually occurs along faults and plate boundaries Causes the area of rock to snap when energy is rapidly released in all directions along seismic waves
6
Earthquake Terms FOCUS – actual location of where the earthquake originates EPICENTER – Surface directly above focus
7
Types of Faults Normal FaultReverse FaultStrike-Slip Fault FAULT - Fractures or cracks on earth’s surface that occur due to tectonic plate motion
8
Faults Normal fault –Found in areas under tension Where sections of the landscape are pulling apart (divergent) Called Fault Block Mountains
10
Faults (cont.) Reverse fault –Found in areas under compression Zones of convergence Like the Himalaya Mountains
12
Faults (cont.) Strike-slip faults –More horizontal movement than vertical movement Like the San Andreas fault in California
