• Hang 10
• Lava

What does the Richter Scale measure?

• the strength of an earthquake
• the water in the ocean
• how tall a volcano can be

What is the epicenter of an earthquake

• the location along a fault where the first motion of an earthquake occurs
• a seismic wave tht travels along the surface of Earth
