1 Science Changing Earth Chapter 2

2 a fracture in the Earth’s lithosphere fault

3 a force applied by an object stress

4 ground shaking caused by movement along a fault earthquake

5 rock block slides up and pushes together along a fault rock block slides down and pulls apart along a fault sideways movement along a fault plane

6 the vibration caused by an earthquake seismic waves

7 the underground point where rocks begin to move point on the Earth’s surface directly above fault movement

8 1 st waves to reach a location in an earthquake slower waves; move objects at right angles destructive waves trapped near Earth’s surface

9 the instrument which records ground movement seismograph

10 the power of an earthquake m a g n i t u d e

11 a smaller earthquake that follows a more powerful one aftershock

12 when an earthquake causes loose, wet soil to act as a liquid l i q u e f a c t i o n

13 a water wave caused by an earthquake tsunami

14 a section of fault having fewer earthquakes seismic gap
