Section 1 Earthquakes (Continued) To complete this activity successfully, you should perform the following actions: • Read all instructions on Mr. Neal’s website before you begin this self-paced unit • Take your time when viewing the slides: you should fully understand the information on the slide prior to moving to the next slide • Keep notes on each slide • Complete all activities in the order they are presented Go to next slide
Section 1 What Are Earthquakes? (Do Now) Do Now Based on your knowledge of plate tectonics, where and why do you think earthquakes occur? Write your response in your notes. Here’s some trivia: did you know there is a whole branch of Science devoted to studying earthquakes? It’s called seismology. Now, go to Mr. Neal’s website and read all instructions pertaining to today’s lesson • Then, open your online textbook through a new tab in Safari: • Click on file • Click on New Tab • Click on Bookmarks • Click on Holt Online Learning Go to next slide
Section 1 What Are Earthquakes? (Student Objectives) Objectives: After completing this unit, you should be able to: • Explain where earthquakes take place • Explain what causes earthquakes • Identify three different types of faults that occur at plate boundaries • Describe how energy from earthquakes travels through the Earth Go to next slide
Section 1 What Are Earthquakes? (Faults) Where Do Earthquakes Occur? • Tectonic Plates: Most earthquakes take place near the edges of tectonic plates along features called faults • Why? • As a result of tectonic plate movements, numerous features called faults exist in the Earth’s crust • A fault is a break in the Earth’s crust. Along faults blocks of the crust slide relative to one another • Earthquakes occur along faults because of this sliding Go to next slide
Section 1 What Are Earthquakes? (Faults Continued) Comprehension Check! Answer the following detail-type question in your notes: Where Do Earthquakes Occur? Oh no! It’s my fault! Answer is an anagram: gnola stluaf • The anatomy of a fault: a fault consists of three parts: • A fault plane or crack in the Earth’s crust • A foot wall: the foot wall is always below the hanging wall • A hanging wall: the hanging wall is always above the foot wall Fault Plane Go to next slide
Section 1 What Are Earthquakes? (Comprehension Check Comprehension Check! Answer the following detail-type questions in your notes: A fault consists of three parts: a hanging wall, a foot wall, and a _______ _______. Answer is an anagram: aultf elapn The hanging wall is always ________ the foot wall. Answer is an anagram: bavoe There are three basic types of faults Go to next slide

Section 1 What Are Earthquakes? (Comprehension Check) Detail-Type Questions: Find the answers in the previous slides Comprehension Check! The hanging wall moves downward in a _________ fault. Answer is an anagram: ervseer In a strike-slip fault, blocks of __________ __________ by one another. Answer is an anagram: struc ledis Go to next slide
Section 1 What Are Earthquakes? (Comprehension Check) Comprehension Check! Higher Order Thinking Skills H.O.T.S Answer the following question in your notes: Let’s synthesize! Specific faults occur at specific boundaries. At which tectonic plate boundary does a strike-slip fault occur? Do you need a hint? First hint: the answer is not in the slides but your head; second hint: the answer is all in the move!!!!!!!!!! Go to next slide
Section 1 What Are Earthquakes? (The Cause) What Causes Earthquakes? Deformation: Elastic deformation leads to earthquakes. Did you read the captions? Elastic Rebound: The sudden return of elastically deformed rock to its original shape is called elastic rebound. Imagine stretching a rubber band and then releasing it. Go to next slide
Section 1 What Are Earthquakes? (The Cause Continued) • View the elastic rebound animation in your online textbook: • Go to Chapter 5, Section 1 • Click on Visual Concepts • Select Elastic Deformation and Elastic Rebound • Read the text and then play the animation Have you read the text and viewed the animation ? Then your ready for the cloze activity. Rewrite the two sentences with the correct responses in your note. Elastic deformation is the bending of the Earth's crust in an elastic manner in which rock responds to stress like a rubber band. Elastic deformation often results in ______ ______. Elastic rebound is the sudden return of elastically _______ ______ to its ________ _________. During elastic rebound, rock releases energy that causes an earthquake. Go to next slide
Section 1 What Are Earthquakes? (Boundaries & Faults) Faults and Tectonic Plate Boundaries • Transform plate motion at a transform boundary causes a strike-slip fault. • Convergent plate motion at a convergent boundary causes a reverse fault. • Divergent plate motion at a divergent boundary causes a normal fault. Earthquake Zones Most earthquakes happen in the earthquake zones along tectonic plate boundaries. Earthquake zones are places where a large number of faults are located. Go to next slide
Section 1 What Are Earthquakes? (Boundaries & Faults) • View the plate motion and earthquake characteristics animation in your online textbook: • Go to Chapter 5, Section 1 • Click on Visual Concepts • Select Plate Motion and Earthquake Characteristics Elastic • Read the text and then play the animation Have you read the text and viewed the animation ? Then your ready to go to your next slide. Go to next slide
Section 1 What Are Earthquakes? (Seismic Waves) How Do Earthquakes Travel? • P Waves Waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases are called P waves (pressure waves). • S Waves After being deformed from side to side, the rock springs back to its original position and S waves are created. S waves, or shear waves, are the second-fastest seismic waves. • Surface Waves Surface waves move along the Earth’s surface and produce motion mostly in the upper few kilometers of Earth’s surface.

Section 1 What Are Earthquakes? (Seismic Waves Continued) • View the plate motion and earthquake characteristics animation in your online textbook: • Go to Chapter 5, Section 1 • Click on Visual Concepts • Select Seismic Waves: Surface Waves • Read the text and then play the animation • Select Body Waves: S Waves and P Waves Have you read the text and viewed the animation ? Then your ready to go to the next slide and complete the cloze activity. Go to next slide
Section 1 What Are Earthquakes? (Seismic Waves Continued) Rewrite the five sentences with the correct responses in your note. Seismic waves are earthquake waves that travel out from the focus of an earthquake in all directions. Surface waves are seismic waves that can only move through ________. _____ _____ are seismic waves that travel through the interior of the Earth. There are two types of body waves: ______ ______, or ________ wavesare seismic waves that cause particles of rock to move in a _____ _____ _____ direction. P waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and _____.
