Remember when...
100
The Richter scale measures this earthquake characteristic.
What is magnitude?
100
This is where most earthquakes occur.
What is a fault?
100
This is what you feel during an earthquake.
What are seismic waves?
100
This measures the size of seismic waves and the amount of ground shaking
What is magnitude?
200
This is the first place on a fault that breaks in an earthquake.
What is the focus?
200
Fractures in the Earth where movement has occurred in the past.
What is a fault?
200
This is the fastest wave.
What is the P or Primary wave?
200
This scale uses measurements of magnitude.
What is the Richter Scale?
200
The Milky Way Galaxy is this shape.
What is a spiral galaxy?
300
This seismic wave travels fastest.
What is the P wave?
300
The point within Earth where the fault first slips in an earthquake
What is the focus
300
The largest stars do this.
What is supernova or black hole?
400
This is when one plate is forced under another plate.
What is subduction?
400
This is the springing back of rock to it’s original place after an earthquake
What is Elastic Rebound Hypothesis?
400
This wave is the fastest wave.
What is the P or Primary wave?
400
This word means relating to earthquakes
What is seismo?
400
The stone like layer of the crust floats above this.
What is asthenosphere?
500
Convergent plates consume this.
What is crust?
500
The San Andres fault has these two plates grinding past each other.
What are the North American and Pacific Plates?
500
These waves do not travel in liquids and gases.
What are S waves?
500
This scale uses the movement of plates and seismic data.
What is Moment Magnitude?
500
This includes the crust and the uppermost mantle.
What is lithosphere?
