Topics of this game:
- What happens when the crustal material is on either side of a fault causing shear stress during an earthquake.
- What are waves that can travel through the Earth's inner layers?
- how do seismic waves help scientists learn about Earth's interior?
- allow the blocks to move relative to each other.
- the point on the earth's surface vertically above the focus of an earthquake
- No normal atrial depolarization
- the area of the earth from angular distances of 104 to 140 degrees from a given earthquake that does not receive any direct P waves
- a fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock
- Stay calm and move to a safer position. IF indoors, stand in the doorway or under a desk or table. Stay away from windows and heavy furniture.
- When cracks in rock are filled with water, the magnetic and electrical properties of the rock change may ______.
- Region along an active fault where stress is accumulating because no earthquakes have occurred there recently.
- identifying how seismic gaps may help scientists predict earthquakes
- the place inside Earth's crust where an earthquake originates
- Why do earthquakes generally take place at plate boundaries?
- If a seismologic station measures P waves but no S waves from an earthquake, what can you conclude about the earthquake´s location?
- a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.
- transverse waves, meaning that the direction of particle motion of a S wave is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, and the main restoring force comes from shear stress.
- a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water.
- When a great earthquake ruptures, the faulting can cause vertical slip that is large enough to disturb the overlying ocean, thus generating a _________ that will travel outwards in all directions.
- The shaking from an earthquake can turn loose soil into a liquid during an earthquake. Liquefaction can undermine the foundations and supports of ___________, causing them to sink into the ground, collapse or dissolve.
- if an area has a high earthquake hazard level how could you set up to predict potential earthquakes?
- instruments used to record the motion of the ground during an earthquake.
- a record produced by a seismograph.
- describes the degree of shaking caused by an earthquake at a given place and decreases with distance from the earthquake epicentre.
- a measure of earthquake size and remains unchanged with distance from the earthquake
- the scales that scientists use to measure the magnitude of an earthquake.
- Scientists drew circles on a map around 3 seismograph stations to ____________.
- Almost all seismometers are based on the principle of __________.
- ntensity describes the degree of shaking caused by an earthquake at a given place and ________ with distance from the earthquake epicentre.
- why would it be difficult for scientists to locate the epicenter of an earthquake if they have seismic wave information from only two locations.
