  2. Corny Joke of the Day What did the baby light bulb say to the mama light bulb? “I love you watts and watts”

  3. Week at a Glance Wednesday: Brainpop. LAST DAY TO WORK ON TIERS Thursday: Vocab sheet and study guide due. Review activities Friday: Tier 3 due and Test

  4. Deformation Flashcards Quiz the person sitting next to you, then switch!!!

  5. Fill in the Blanks • Folding is the __________ of the rocks. • Faulting is the __________of the rocks. • Magnitude is the _________ of an earthquake • Intensity is the measure of degree to which an earthquake is felt by ________________________.

  6. Due Thursday Vocabulary 11-15

  7. 11. Magnitude • Earthquakes STRENGTH based on seismic waves and movement along the fault. • Measured using the Richter Magnitude Scale.

  8. 12. Earthquake • the shaking that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth's surface

  9. 13. Seismograph Seismographs records the ground movements caused by seismic waves as they move through the Earth

  10. Extra • When the waves reach a seismograph, the seismograph creates a seismo-gram. • A seismogram is a tracing of earthquake motion and is created by a seismograph. Also used to determine when an earthquake starts!

  11. 14. Richter Scale • Measures Magnitude • The Richter scale is a rating of the size of seismic waves as measured by a particular type of mechanical seismograph

  12. Extra • Throughout much of the 20th century, seismologists used the Richter magnitude scale, commonly called the Richter scale, to measure the strength of earthquakes. • Seismologist Charles Richter created the scale in the 1930s.

  13. Did you know? Each time the magnitude increases by one unit, the measured ground motion becomes 10 times larger. For example, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.0 on the Richter scale will produce 10 times as much ground motion as an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0.

  14. Intensity: Mercalli Scale • Because the effects of an earthquake vary from place to place, any earthquake will have more than one intensity value. • Intensity values are usually higher near an earthquake’s epicenter.

  15. 15. Focus the point beneath the Earth’s surface where the rocks break and move.
