G10 EAS1

Natural vibrations of the ground, some of which are caused by movement along fractures in Earth’s crust.

• tsunami

• volcanic eruption

• earthquake

• landslide

Result of movement of the earth’s crust produced by plate tectonics.

• tsunami

• volcanic eruption

• earthquake

• landslide

The total force acting on crustal rocks per unit area.

• stress

• strain

• fault

• fracture

Stress that decreases the volume of a material.

• tension

• shear

• compression

• deformation

Stress that pulls the material apart.

• tension

• shear

• compression

• deformation

stress that causes the material to twist.

• tension

• shear

• compression

• deformation

The deformation of materials in response to stress..

• stress

• strain

• fault

• fracture

This type of strain produces permanent deformation, which means that the materials stays deformed even when stress is reduced to zero

• elastic deformation

• fracture

• plastic deformation

• fault

Any fracture or system of fractures along which Earth moves.

• elastic deformation

• fracture

• plastic deformation

• fault

Form as a result of horizontal and vertical compression. This causes the rock on one side to be pushed up relative to the other side.

• normal fault

• reverse fault

• strike-slip fault

• your fault
