Seismic Waves
This is the fastest wave.
What is P-Wave
What type of coastline is worse in a tsunami? shallow or deep?
What is shallow.
This is a scale that is exponentially from one to 10
What is the Richter Scale.
This fault is a result of compression
What is Reverse.
This a fold that has pressure pushing upward in the middle.
What is an anticline.
This wave is a perpendicular wave to the first wave that arrives.
What is S-Wave
Which way does the water at the beach usually go shortly before a tsunami approaches?
What is out to sea.
This is a scale that is based on damage in a particular area.
What is the Modified Mercalli Scale.
This fault is a result of shearing.
What is transform boundary.
This is a fold that looks like the letter U.
What is a syncline
This wave can only travel through solid materials
Is the speed of a tsunami faster or slower in the open water?
What is faster.
This is a scale using Roman Numerals. Between what two numbers does it go from?
What is I and XII (1 to 12)
This a fault that has the hanging wall moving downward.
What is a normal fault.
Where does a syncline have stress acted upon it?
What is the sides.
These waves are your body waves.
What are P & S waves
Name three things that can generate a tsunami.
What are earthquakes, landslides, volcanoes or meteorites.
This is a scale that is based on the movement of the fault line.
What is the Moment Magnitude Scale.
This a fault that results in crustal lengthening
What is a normal fault.
If we have folded mountains and it looks like the letter M, how many anticlines would there be?
What is 2
This is a rolling wave that produces the most damage.
What is L-wave
What happens to speed and amplitude as a tsunami approaches the shoreline?
What is slows down and grows larger in amplitude.
On the Richter scale how many times greater is a magnitude of 5 compared to a 2?
What is 1,000
The San Andrea's fault is an example of this fault
When it comes to folds which layer is always the oldest layer?
What is the bottom layer.
