Chapter 19 Earth quakes

Chapter 19 Earth quakes. I. Forces within Earth. Stress and Strain 1. Most earthquakes occur when rocks fracture, or break, deep within Earth. 2. Fractures form when stress, forces per unit area acting on a material exceeds the strength of the rocks involved.

Earthquake Waves

Earthquake Waves. Epicenter: point on surface above earthquake. Focus: point in Earth where energy is released. Richter Scale measures magnitude of an earthquake - a magnitude 7 has 10x more ground movement than magnitude 6. Types of Seismic Waves. Primary waves (p waves) Fastest waves

Earthquake Magnitude and Intensity

Earthquake Magnitude and Intensity. Magnitude is the measurement of the amount of energy released during an earthquake. The Richter scale is a numerical scale based on the size of the largest seismic waves generated by a quake that is used to describe its magnitude.
