Multiple Choice

How do faults cause earthquakes?

1

Faults are forces on earth where earthquakes will release tons of seismic energy.

2

Earthquakes and faults are not really connected.

3

Earthquakes occur on faults.

4

Earthquakes are dormant on faults and will only be active when fault is also active.

14

Multiple Choice

How does an earthquake cause a tsunami?

1

When the ocean floor at a plate boundary rises or falls suddenly, it displaces the water above it and launches the rolling waves that becomes a tsunami.

2

Tsunamis are created when the energy from earthquake is released in a form of ocean waves.

3

Tsunamis are generated when the water moves because of the seismic waves.

4

When faults move, water is absorbed and that causes tsunami.

Fill in the Blank

___________ is the most destructive wave.

23

Love Waves

  • An L-wave creates rolling waves that cause even greater destruction since movement is very erratic and two-dimensional.

  • It creates a lot of stress and strain on beam structures and therefore a greater chance for buildings to fail.

  • It comes after the P and S-waves.

  • The building then should have been evacuated before the L-wave came.
