How do we measure earthquakes? LO: to understand the difference between the Richter scale and the Mercalli scale.

EARTHQUAKES. WHAT ARE EARTHQUAKES?  Shaking or trembling caused by the sudden release of energy  Usually associated with faulting or breaking of rocks.

QUIZ What is Seismology?

Do Now – In Notebooks 1. What is an earthquake? 2. What kind of stress acts on a normal fault? Does the crust lengthen or shorten? 3. What is the difference.

Lesson 7.8 – Earthquakes. I can describe earthquakes and seismic waves. (4b) 1. Earthquakes are the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's.

Earthquake Scales Richter vs. Mercalli. What is an earthquake? Earthquakes are the vibration of the earth as a result of a release of energy – Earthquakes.

How do scientists know the structure of the Earth? Rock samples (direct evidence) Seismic waves (indirect evidence) –Vibrations that travel through Earth.

Earthquakes and Seismic Waves 2-1. What is an Earthquake? Shaking and trembling that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth’s surface Occur when.

What are Earthquakes? The shaking or trembling caused by the sudden release of energy Usually associated with faulting or breaking of rocks Continuing.

Earthquakes A sudden shaking of earth as rocks break along a fault or plate boundary A sudden shaking of earth as rocks break along a fault or plate boundary.

Earthquakes. What are earthquakes? Vibration in the ground that result from movement along faults. Fault = a break in Earth’s lithosphere where one block.

Earthquakes!!!. I. Earthquakes: vibrations of the earth’s crust that is caused by the shifting of lithospheric plates.

Earthquakes! Richter scale.  Developed in California at Cal Tech by Charles Richter in 1935  Based on the specific rocks found there  Only measures.

Earthquake Vocabulary Notes. Causes of Earthquakes As the crust tries to move, pressure builds When crust finally moves, pressure and energy is released.

What are Earthquakes? The shaking or trembling caused by the sudden release of energy Usually associated with lithospheric plates moving against each other.

Earthquakes

What causes Earthquakes?  Most earthquakes are caused by lithosphere plates moving against each other.  There are 3 types of earthquake faults earthquake faults

Vocabulary  Magnitude – is the measure of the amplitude of an earthquakes wave.

How Earthquakes are measured Richter Scale  Measures the amplitude of an earthquake’s wave. amplitude  Magnitude depends on amount of energy that is stored.

Magnitude  Magnitude scales are logarithmic which means that each increase of one point on the Ricther scale is 10 times increase of wave amplitudewave amplitude  One point increase also means an increase of 30% energy.

How Earthquakes are measured Modified Mercalli Scale  Depends on how strong an earthquake felt.  It also is measured by how much damage it did at any given location.
