I am all Stressed Out! | ||
#1 | A force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume is called | stress |
#2 | Which type of seismic wave arrives first at a seismograph? | P Waves |
#3 | An upward fold in rock formed by compression of Earth's crust. | anticline |
#4 | Thepoint beneath Earth's surfacewhere the crust breaks and triggers an earthquake is called the | focus |
#5 | Which stress force pulls on the crust and stretches rock? | tension |
I feel a whole lotta shaking going on! | ||
#1 | A break in the crust where slabs slip past each other is a | fault |
#2 | An instrument used to measure and record ground movements during an earthquake is called a | seismograph |
#3 | What process occurs when an earthquake's shaking turns loose soil into mud? | liquefaction |
#4 | What type offault forms when the hanging wall moves upward past the footwall? | reverse fault |
#5 | The type of stress force that produces a strike slip fault is | shearing |
I feel the Earth move under my feet..... | ||
#1 | Compression, tension, and shearing are three types of | stress |
#2 | What is a large area of flat land that is elevated high above sea level? | plateau |
#3 | The measurement of an earthquake's strength based on seismic waves and movement along faults. | Magnitude |
#4 | What is the point on Earth's surface directly above an eathquake's focus is called the.... | epicenter |
#5 | Water displaced by an undersea earthquake may produce.... | tsunami |
It's An Earthquake! | ||
#1 | A downward fold in rock formed by compression in Earth's crust. | syncline |
#2 | What is the type of stress that pushes masses of rock sideways in opposite directions is | shearing |
#3 | What waves arrive at a seismograph after the P Waves? | S Waves |
#4 | An earthquake that occurs after a larger earthquake in the same area. | aftershock |
#5 | A type of seismic wave that forms when P waves and S waves reach Earth's surface. | Surface Waves |
Shakes it All! | ||
#1 | Tension creates what kind of fault? | Normal Fault |
#2 | Compression creates what kind of fault? | Reverse Fault |
#3 | Shearing creates what kind of fault? | Strike-Slip Fault |
#4 | The scale that measures the strength of an earthquake based on seismic waves and movement along a fault is called the ____________ scale. |
Richter Scale |
#5 | What kind of plate boundary is a reverse fault found? | Convergent Boundary |
