Hodge Podge
100
Tool used to measure earthquakes.
What is the SEISMOGRAPH?
100
Stress that pulls or stretches rock apart.
What is TENSION?
100
A break in Earth's crust.
What is a FAULT?
100
Fastest of the seismic waves.
What are PRIMARY or P-WAVES?
100
Point on the surface directly above the focus of an earthquake.
What is the EPICENTER?
200
Number of seismograph stations needed to locate the epicenter of an earthquake.
What is 3?
200
Stress that pushes or squeezes rock together.
What is COMPRESSION?
200
Fault that occurs when there is little up or down motion where pieces of rock slide past each other.
What is a STRIKE-SLIP FAULT?
200
Slowest of the seismic waves.
What are SURFACE or L-WAVES?
200
San Andreas is this type of fault.
What is STRIKE-SLIP FAULT?
300
Rating scale most effective at rating earthquakes of all sizes, near and far.
What is the MOMENT MAGNITUDE SCALE?
300
Stress that pushes rock past each other side by side.
What is SHEARING?
300
Type of fault where the hanging-wall slides down and away from the footwall.
What is a NORMAL FAULT?
300
One of the two types of seismic waves that originate or start at the focus.
What are PRIMARY (P) or SECONDARY (S) WAVES?
300
Point beneath the surface where rock that is under stress breaks, triggering an earthquake is called this.
What is a FOCUS?
400
Scale used to measure intensity or shaking; based on personal opinion and observation; not considered as scientific.
What is the MERCALLI SCALE?
400
Stress found on a divergent plate boundary?
What is TENSION?
400
Type of fault where the hanging wall slides up and over the footwall.
What is a REVERSE FAULT?
400
One of the two types of seismic waves that move side to side (transverse) in motion.
What are SECONDARY (S) or SURFACE (L) WAVES?
400
Fold in rock that bends upward into an arch.
What is an ANTICLINE?
500
Highest rating on Richter Scale ever recorded in United States occurred in this state.
What is ALASKA?
500
Stress found on a reverse fault?
What is COMPRESSION?
500
Type of fault most likely to produce rough, jagged looking mountains like those in Glacier National Park in Montana.
What is a REVERSE FAULT?
500
Seismic waves that originate at focus, move side to side, and will not pass through the outer core.
What are SECONDARY or S-WAVES?
500
This category of earthquake features reduce vibrations from earthquakes.
What are DAMPERS?
