What is stress? What is strain? How to they compare and
contrast? (make a Venn diagram) Stress: the forces per unit area acting on a material. Strain: the deformation of materials in response to stress. Strain is a response to stress.
What are the 3 different types of faults? Describe each. Type of waves Materials & Description Sketch Movement Primary Squeeze & pull rocks in the same direction the wave is moving
Same direction as the wave Secondary Cause rocks to move at right angles in relation to the direction of the waves
Right angles to the waves Surface
Move in 2 different ways as they pass through rock
2 directions
How do the focus and the epicenter of earthquakes compare and contrast? Focus: where the earthquake originates Epicenter: the point on earths surface directly above the focus
The greater the distance between P and S waves on a seismograph the (longer or shorter) distance away from the epicenter.

What is the name of the scale used to measure the energy released during an earthquake? What is the range of the scale? Richter Scale, ranges from 1-10
What is the name of the scale used to measure the intensity (damage done) during and earthquake? What is the range of the scale? The modified Mercalli scale, ranges from 1-12
Describe the damage caused by earthquakes for a level 1, 5, and 10 I: Not felt except under unusual conditions V: Felt by nearly everyone, some dishes and windows break, plaster cracks X: Most ordinary structures are destroyed, rails are bent, landslides are common
