3 What do you observe in the pictures? What can you infer from the picture?

4 How does an earthquake occur? It occurs when there is a sudden breaking of large rocks below or at the surface of the earth.

5

6 What are the two types of earthquakes? 1. Tectonic earthquake 2. Volcanic earthquake

7 Tectonic Earthquake

8 Volcanic Earthquake

9 P waves - P or Primary waves are the fastest of the seismic waves. - They travel at incredible speeds, 14,000 mph to 25,000 mph through the core of the Earth. - They are even able to pass all the way through the entire Earth.

10

11 S Waves - S or surface waves. They travel at about half the speed of P waves. - They move objects in their paths in an up and down motion, in the direction that the wave is moving.

12

13 L Waves - L or Love waves move the ground from side to side in a horizontal plane but at right angles. - The horizontal shaking of Love waves is particularly damaging to the foundations of structures.

18 How are volcanoes formed? When a continental plate and an oceanic plate move apart and the space is filled up with molten magma.
