Earthquakes and Tsunamis. Crust Deformation. Deformation is the bending, tilting, and breaking of the earth’s crust. Plate tectonics is the major cause of crustal deformation. Stress is a force that causes pressure in the rocks of the crust.

Earthquake Hazards and Safety. Ch. 5.3. Objective. Describe how earthquakes cause damage and the kinds of damage they cause. Explain what can be done to reduce earthquake hazards to buildings and to people. . Engage/Explore.

Earthquakes. Predict page 239. Each year there are approximately ______ earthquakes detected around the world. In the United States, the state with the most earthquakes on average is ________ Every year, earthquakes cause ________ of dollars in damage in the United States.

The Dynamic Crust. Chapter 4. Crust. The crust is the solid outer rock zone of Earth. The crust is undergoing constant change. Weathering and erosion Volcanoes Earthquakes Tectonics is the study of the movement of the Earth’s crust. Tectonic Plates. Solid and Liquid Zones.

Earthquakes. What Is An Earthquake? Click here to find out. What is an earthquake?. Used to describe both sudden slip on a fault, and the resulting ground shaking and radiated seismic energy caused by the slip Caused by volcanic or plate activity,. http://eqseis.geosc.psu.edu.

19.1 Earthquakes. Forces Within Earth. Most earthquakes are the result of movement of the Earth’s crust produced by plate tectonics At the boundary between two plates, stress often builds up Stress is the total force acting on crustal rocks per unit area

Unit 4 Lesson 5 Earthquakes. Unit 4 Lesson 5 Earthquakes. Let’s Focus. What is an earthquake?. Earthquakes are ground movements that occur when blocks of rock in Earth move suddenly and release energy. The energy is released as seismic waves that cause the ground to move.

The Structure of the Earth. Learning Objectives: What are Tectonic Plates? What are Seismic Waves? How do Scientists explore the structure of the earth?. Use IRIS interactive map below, then go to the next slide and click on the question marks to discuss those points in your group!. IRIS.

Earthquakes. Earthquake Basics. Earthquake – shaking of Earth’s crust caused by the sudden release of energy Energy build over time until stresses break the rocks Happen ~ every 30 seconds ~3,000 annually strong enough to move sections of Earth’s crust ~20 annually cause severe damage

Earthquakes and Tectonics. The point on Earth’s surface directly above the earthquakes focus. Answer. Epicenter. Home. Energy released in the form of vibrations that travel outward in all directions from the focus through the surrounding rock. Answer. Seismic Waves. Home.

Earthquakes. Seismic Waves in the Earth’s Crust. Earthquakes. An earthquake is a series of seismic waves or tremors in the earth’s crust. They are caused when pressure builds up at the edge of the plates as they collide or slide past one another.
