Hodgepodge
Upward and downward arch formed in folded mountains.
What are the anticline and syncline?
Area which is directly above where the earthquake occurred.
What is the epicenter?
Hanging wall pushed up due to compression is this type of fault.
What is a reverse fault?
This type of stress leads to a valley.
What is tension?
Compression movement from earthquakes.
What is P waves?
Three seismic read outs are required
What is to identify the epicenter?
Where the break or stress of rock is released when an earthquake occurs.
What is the focus?
A strike-slip faults hanging wall and footwall move in this way.
What is there is no hanging wall or footwall in this type of fault?
When the plates move towards each other like convergent boundaries.
What is compression?
These waves move through solids but not liquid and are slower than P waves.
What are S waves?
Forms rift valley when the plates are pulled apart.
What is divergent boundary?
Devastation ranked on a scale I-XII and is the visual destruction.
What Mercalli Scale?
When two plates move away from each other and slide down leaving a block in between.
What forms fault block mountains?
Shearing is type of stress caused by this type of FAULT movement.
What is STRIKE-SLIP fault?
Vibrations similar to sound waves that travels through the earth when stress is released.
What are seismic waves?
Transform Boundary
What type of boundary is it when two plates slide past each other?
Energy that drives the plates to move and shift leading to earthquakes.
What are convection currents?
Force underneath pushes up this type of landform which has a flat top.
What is a plateau?
Release of energy through an earthquake in one of three ways.
What is stress?
Most destructive of the seismic waves.
What is the Surface waves?
continental-continental, oceanic-oceanic, and oceanic-continental
What are the three types of convergent boundaries?
Scale that ranks the earthquakes magnitude or size of the earthquake.
What is the Richter Scale?
Hanging wall slips down due to tension is this type of fault.
What is a normal fault?
Fault line forms from this type of stress.
What is Shearing?
Up and down or side to side motion.
What is the way S waves move through the Earth's solid layers?
