What is a seismograph?
This instrument is used
to measure and
record ground movement
during an earthquake

9. Tiltmeters, creep meters, laser-ranging devices,
What are instruments uses to monitor movement along faults?
Tiltmeters, creep meters,
laser-ranging devices,
and GPS satellites are
instruments that do this
2,3

11. This fault forms when the hanging wall moves up past the footwall
What is a reverse fault?
This fault forms when
the hanging wall moves
up past the footwall
3,1

12. What is the moment-magnitude scale?
This rating system
estimates the total
energy released
by an earthquake

What is a creep meter?
This instrument uses a wire
stretched across a fault to
measure horizontal movement
3,3

14. What is a base-isolated building design? that reaches the building
This design reduces
the amount of energy
that reaches the building
during an earthquake

Shearing, compression,
and tension are three
types of this
4,1

16. the Richter scale, and the moment magnitude scale are examples of this

What is friction?
The force that opposes
the motion of
one surface as it moves
across another surface

This type of stress pushes
masses of rock sideways
in opposite directions
5,1
