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
