Earthquakes.  Natural vibrations of the ground caused by movement at faults  Faults: Fracture in the Earth’s crust Faults form when rocks break deep.

Faults & Topography. What’s a Fault? A fault is a break in the rock that makes up the Earth’s crust. The surfaces on either side of the break move past.

By Trinidad Arroyo. This gradual accumulation and release of stress and strain is now referred to as the "elastic rebound theory" of earthquakes. Most.

 Earthquakes are caused by a process called faulting. Faulting is a process when tectonic plates covering the earth rub together and create pressure.

These boundaries are where plates “slide” past each other. In about 60 million years Los Angeles and San Francisco will be next to each other.

Chapter 5 Study Guide Friday, February 26, Section 1 Understand what a fault is. Be able to describe the different types of faults. Be able to discuss.

On which faults have major earthquakes have occurred since the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake? The Great California ShakeOut.

Get notes packet and start vocab.  You will learn to explain how earthquakes result from the buildup of energy in rocks.  You will learn to describe.

STRESS – The amount of force exerted on a material.

3 Types of Stress 1. Tension: stress that pulls rock apart Rock gets thinner in the middle 2. Compression: stress that pushes rock together 3. Shearing:

Faults and Stress Unit 2 Lesson 2. Faults  Fractures in the earth occur when a force is applied to the underlying rock, which movement occurs.  Stress.

Mountain Building Folding and Faulting. Stress in the Crust Stress from plate motions causes crustal rocks to deform –Rocks near the surface are cool.

 Stress – force that pushes or pulls rock Tension Compression Shearing  Fault – Break in Earth’s crust where plate movement occurs Normal Reverse Strike-Slip.

Now that you’ve completed your event search, we’ll focus on what caused your earthquakes. Key Question: What kind of motion did you find that caused your earthquakes? What do you notice about how this motion is distributed around the earth? Faults and Earthquakes Scripps Classroom Connection

Panorama of damage caused by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake Earthquake Damage  What kind of damage occurred for the earthquakes you researched?  Is there anything in common between the earthquakes? Scripps Classroom Connection

What kind of stress (“stress regime”) caused your earthquake? Was it: ● Shear? ● Extension? ● Compression? Stress and Faulting Scripps Classroom Connection

Where do the various types of faulting/stress tend to occur? What conclusions can you make about your observations? Scripps Classroom Connection Mapping and Observations
