What is the word to the meaning of "The surface of such a break along which rocks move?"
100
These waves are known as the seismic waves.
What is the word to the meaning,"Earthquake waves that are transmitted through materials in Earth and along Earth's surface?"
100
These waves creates the most damage
What are the surface waves?
100
This is the instrument used to obtain records of seismic waves.
What is the seismograph?
200
The large vibrations that move through rock or other earth materials
What are earthquakes?
200
This is what happens when a reverse fault occurs.
What is the type of fault that may form where rocks are compressed?
200
This word means the point inside earth where the movement first occurs and energy is released.
What is the focus of an earthquake?
200
These waves moves through rock materials by causing particles in the rock to vibrate at right angles to the direction in which the rocks are moving.
What are the secondary waves?
200
This scale is used to measure the magnitudes of the earthquakes .
What is the Richter Scale?
300
The ability to cause change
What is energy?
300
This type of fault is considered a normal fault.
What is the type of fault that forms where rocks are pulled apart?
300
This is the point on earth's surface located directly above earthquake focus.
What is the epicenter of the earthquake?
300
These are the slowest and largest of the seismic waves.
What are the characteristics of the surface waves?
300
These are seismic sea waves that has energies spread out over larger distances and great water depths,
What are tsunamis
400
This type of energy builds up as rocks or any other earth materials are strained.
When does potential energy build up as an earthquake is about to happen?
400
This fault is considered a strike- slip fault.
What is the type of fault that may form when rocks moves at opposite directions and are sheared?
400
These are the three types of seismic waves.
What type of waves are the primary waves, secondary waves, and the surface waves?
400
These waves travels the fastest through rock materials by causing particles in the rock to move back and forth in the same direction in which the waves are moving.
