Measuring Earthquakes
There are these many ways of measuring an earthquake.
What are 3?
These are Tectonic Plates.
What are large pieces of land on earth's crust?
This is the supercontinent.
What is Pangea?
These are the 3 seismic waves.
What are the P, S, and L waves?
You need these many things to name an earthquake.
What are 3?
These are the ways for measuring earthquakes.
What are the Mercalli Scale, Richter Scale, and Seismograph/meter?
These are the 3 types of boundaries.
What are Convergent, Divergent, and Transform?
The supercontinent is this many years old.
What is 200 mil. years old?
These seismic waves are underground.
What are the P and S waves?
You name an earthquake by these things.
What is after the town/city, country where it starts and the date?
The Richter scale measures this.
What is energy?
Movements from Tectonic Plates causes this (3 examples).
What are earthquakes, volcanoes, mountains, sea floors, continents, and land forms?
These happen at fault lines.
What are earthquakes?
The explanation of an L wave is this.
What is the 3rd and last wave measured, above ground, and does most damage?
Earthquakes form in these many ways.
What is 3?
A Seismograph measures these waves.
What are P+S waves?
Forms from Convergent Boundaries.
What are earthquakes, mountains, and volcanoes?
These are fault lines.
What is cracks in the earth's crust that happen because of plate boundaries?
These are the full names of the waves.
What are the Primary, Secondary, and Surface wave (Love wave)?
Earthquakes form at these places on the earth.
What are at fault lines and Tectonic Plates?
The Mercalli scale uses these for numbers.
What are roman numerals?
BONUS (double points) : These are the 2 shocks of an earthquake (Names and definitions).
What are, Main shock: main and large earthquake, happens first. Aftershock: smaller earthquake following the main or larger earthquake in the same area?
These are the 7 continents in alphabetical order.
What are Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America?
BONUS (double points) : The definition of the focus and epicenter is this.
What are the Focus: Where the earthquake starts inside the earth. Where movement starts. Epicenter: Point or location on the surface directly above the focus. Shaking and movement is the strongest?
These 2 things happen to Tectonic Plates to form earthquakes.
What are movement and pressure?
