Row 1, Col 1 What are folds? Synclines and anticlines are types of this
1,2 What are S waves? This type of seismic wave arrives second at a seismograph
1,3 What is a seismograph? This instrument is used to measure and record ground movement during an earthquake
1,4 What is liquefaction? This process occurs when an earthquake’s shaking turns loose soil into mud
2,1 What is tension? This stress force stretches rock
2,2 What is an epicenter? This point is located on Earth’s surface directly above an earthquake’s focus
2,3 What are instruments uses to monitor movement along faults? Tiltmeters, creep meters, laser-ranging devices, and GPS satellites are instruments that do this
2,4 What are tsunamis? Undersea earthquakes displace water that may produce these
3,1 What is a reverse fault? This fault forms when the hanging wall moves up past the footwall
3,2 What is the moment-magnitude scale? This rating system estimates the total energy released by an earthquake
3,3 What is a creep meter? This instrument uses a wire stretched across a fault to measure horizontal movement
3,4 What is a base-isolated building design? This design reduces the amount of energy that reaches the building during an earthquake
4,1 What is stress? Shearing, compression, and tension are three types of this
4,2 What are instruments used to measure earthquakes? The Mercalli scale, the Richter scale, and the moment magnitude scale are examples of this
4,3 What is friction? The force that opposes the motion of one surface as it moves across another surface
4,4 What are drop, cover, and hold? The best way to protect yourself during an earthquake is to do this
5,1 What is shearing? This type of stress pushes masses of rock sideways in opposite directions
5,2 What is triangulation? The process by which geologists draw circles to show distances from three seismographs is known as this
5,3 What is a seismogram? Pattern of lines that is the record of an earthquake’s seismic waves
5,4 What are the causes of earthquake damage? Shaking, liquefaction, aftershocks, and tsunamis are examples of this
