4  You will learn to explain how earthquakes result from the buildup of energy in rocks.  You will learn to describe how compression, tension, and shear forces make rocks move along faults.  You will learn to distinguish among normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults.

5 Causes of ____________: Applied stresses cause _____ to _____ and _______ Applied stresses cause _____ to _____ and _______ When rocks ______ they move along surfaces called ______ When rocks ______ they move along surfaces called ______ earthquakes rocksbend stretch break faults

6 Earth’s _____ is in constant _______ Places ______ on rocks Rocks _____ & _______ like a rubber band Break Produces __________ called an _________________ crustmotion stress bendstretch vibrations

28 Seismographs - are used to measure P-waves, S-waves, & surface waves

29 Magnitude Richter scale measures the strength of the break; describes how much energy is released by the earthquake; an increase of 1.0 has 32x as much energy

30 Richter Scale – 1.0 to 8.9 Richter Scale – 1.0 to 8.9

31 Tsunamis - a seismic sea wave that can reach 30m high
