Earthquake Test

Directly above the focus and where the strongest shaking of the ground is most felt.

• Faults

• Epicenter

• Thrust Faulting

• Rayleigh waves

Visible breaking and shifting fo hte Earth's surface along the fault is called

• Intensity

• Magnitude

• Faults

• Ground Rupture

Measures the level of damage an earthquake has caused and hte degree of shaking.

• Intensity

• Thrust Faulting

• Weight

• Seismic waves

Travel through the Earth at the greatest speed and are the first ones to be recorded by a seismograph.

• Secondary Waves

• Primary waves

• Rayleigh Waves

• Love Waves

Produced by the stress experienced by the rock due to the injection or withdrawal of magma.

• Volcanic-tectonic Earthquake

• Convergent Plate Boundary

• Tectonic Earthquake

• Ground Rupture

Travel like ripples, the movement of rock particles is like the ones you see on the surface of water.

• Rayleigh (R) waves

• Primary Waves

• Secondary waves

• epicenter

The size of the Earthquake and the amount fo energy released at hte source of the earthquake.

• Magnitude

• primary waves

• epicenter

• focus

An earthquake happnes when the Earth's rocky outer layer-the crust-suddenly moves or vibrates.

• True

• False

Tectonic earthquake happen when two tectonic paltes suddenly slide past each other at the boundaries

• True

• False

Boundaries are cracks in the Earth's crust between two massive plates.

• True

• False
