The difference in arrival times for the P and S wave was 4 minutes and 30 seconds. How far away is the Earthquake?


3200 km

200

tremendous heat and pressure cause the liquid mantle to rise, spread, and sink. These kinds of currents are responsible for plate tectonic movement 

Convection Currents 

200

this formation occurs at convergent plate boundaries, where molten rock is pressurized and erupts and causes severe destruction.

When two plates begin to move away from each other, this plate boundary is formed 

 divergent plate boundary 

200
Also known as shear waves, these waves cannot pass through Liquids. 

S-waves 

200

The s-waves of an earthquake arrived 00:07:20 after the p-waves. How far away was the earthquakes epicenter? 


5600 km

The two metal materials that make up the majority of earth's core

Iron and Nickel

When oceanic crust is forced down from continental crust at convergent plate boundaries, this formation occurs. 


subduction zone

400

The crack in the earth's crust where stress is suddenly released causing an earthquake.

Faults 

400

This is the scale used to measure the actual amount of seismic activity or magnitude of an Earthquake.
 

Richter Scale

This is the outermost layer of the earth, where humans are located. 


Lithosphere/crust

500

this kind of crust is thinner, denser, and made of basalt 

oceanic crust 

500

The San Andreas Fault is located along this kind of plate boundary

 

Transform plate Boundary 

500

this is the term used when seismic waves  travel through the earth, caused by movement of the Earth's plates.
