How To Play:
Drag the squares in the gray area and drop them in the matching squares in the blue area below.
If you drop a square in the correct spot, it will disappear.
If you make a mistake, the square will return to its original spot.
Good luck!

What is the Focus?
This type of sesmic wave arrives first at a seismograph
These are the 2 things geologists measure to predict earthquakes
This is the strength of earthquakes as measured by sesmic waves and movement along faults
This is the process that turns loose soil to mud during an Earthquake
These waves move through BOTH solid and liquid
These faults occur at Convergent boundaries
This scale measures the size of the sesmic waves
This scale measures the intensity of earthquakes
Anticlines and Synclines are two types of
This is the type of stress produced by a strike-slip fault
This stress pulls on the crust and stretches the rock
These waves vibrate side to side and up and down
These faults occur at Divergent boundaries
Compression, tension and shearing are 3 types of what
Any change in the volume of shape of the Earth Crust is called
This is an earthquake that occurs after a larger earthquake in the same area
The point beneath the Earth's surface where the crust breaks and triggers an Earthquake is called
A large area of flat land that is elevated high above sea level is a
These are the vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake
The point on the Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus is called
This rating system estimates total energy released by an Earthquake
Water displaced by an undersea earthquake is called
This type of Fault forms when the hanging wall moves UPWARD past the footwall
An instrument used to measure and record ground movements during an earthquake is called
When normal faults uplift a block of rock the result is this
