• P- Wave
• Rayleigh Wave
• S- Wave
• Shear Wave

Which body wave compresses and stretches rock materials as it passes through the Earth's interior?

• Body Waves
• P- Waves
• S- Waves
• Surface Waves

What is another term for P- Wave?

• Compression Wave
• Principal Wave

A written record of earthquake motion is called a ___________________.

• seismograph
• seismogram
• seismologist
• seismometer

These are the secondary, or second waves to be released. They cannot travel through the liquid outer core

• S waves
• Surface Waves
• P waves

We use this tool to measure seismic waves during earthquakes

• Seismographs
• magnitude
• actual magnitude
• sonograph

This is the type of plate boundary when two plates run into each other or on top of each other

• Transform

This is the type of plate boundary where two tectonic plates move apart

This is the type of plate boundary where two plates slip past each other

• Convergent
