Seismic Waves
Faults
Describe what a fault is:
Describe what a fault is: a break or crack in earth’s crust where movement has occurred
What happens when rocks at a fault move?
???
An earthquake occurs!
???
What type of fault is this?
Strike-slip
What type of fault is this?
Normal Fault
What type of fault is this?
Reverse fault
Earthquakes are
in the ground that travel outward from the focus
Earthquakes are vibrations
in the ground that travel outward from the focus
Earthquakes are caused by movement of
Earthquakes are caused by movement of tectonic plates
Where do the most earthquakes occur?
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of plate
tectonics (plate boundaries)
What is the difference between an epicenter and
focus?
Focus=where EQ starts underground
Epicenter=location on surface above focus
How are earthquakes, faults, and energy related?
When rocks at faults move, they can build up
energy. When the energy is released, an
EQ occurs.
What are the 3 types of seismic
waves?
S-waves, P-waves, and surface waves
Which seismic wave(s) travel through the
ground?
P-wave and S-waves both travel through
the ground.
How are surface waves different
from P or S-waves?
Surface wave travels on the surface, not on
the ground
Which type of wave is this picture
showing?
P-wave
Which type of wave is this picture
showing?
S-wave
What is one factor that can effect the damage caused by
an EQ?
-how far from epicenter-how strong EQ is-what house is made out of-what ground is like -how tall house is
Explain what the magnitude of an
EQ is:
Magnitude is a measurement of how strong the EQ shakes
Which EQ has the closest epicenter to us?
6 min4 min2 min3 min

What does Mr. Choi’s brother do
for a living?
LAX Police (LAXPD)
What are the 3 types
of faults?
Normal, reverse, strike-slip
Which natural disaster lifts
buildings and cars up with strong
winds?
Tornadoes
What type of fault would be formed here?
