  2. THE RULES • Competing teams will be selected. • Everyone will actively participate. • No penalties for wrong answers, so try. • Responses must be in the form of a question such as “What is History?” • Each team will be rewarded with points. • Be positive, encourage your teammates. • Individual contestants will give their own answers. • ALEX is the Judge, all decisions are final.

  7. $800 • Following an earthquake, small tremors known as _____ can occur, lasting for hours to days after the original quake. • What are aftershocks?

  8. $1000 • This is one way for a fault to occur within a lithospheric plate instead of at its boundaries. • What is when older plates have been incorporated inside newer plates?

  9. $200 • Although a plate may be moving as a single unit, its boundaries behave as though they were made of _____. • What are many sections?

  10. $400 • Section A has an average of 4 earthquakes per year. Section B has an average of 1 earthquake every 12 years. Which section would have the stronger earthquakes? • What is Section B?

  12. $800 • Where, when, and how large was the largest earthquake in the world? • What is Chile, 1960 – 9.5 magnitude?

  13. $1000 • The three things needed for stick-slip motion are: • What are 2 bodies in contact, a force, and friction?

  14. $200 $200 • _____ are typically the slowest type of seismic wave, but they cause the most damage in an earthquake. • What are surface waves?

  15. $400 $400 • Seismic waves start underground at the earthquake: • What is focus?

  16. $600 $600 • The fastest type of seismic waves is: • What are P-waves?

  17. $800 $800 • Seismic waves are also referred to as: • What are body waves?

  18. $1000 $1000 • This information would be most useful in predicting the occurrence of an earthquake at a particular location. • What is seismic history?

  19. $200 $200 • A _____ is an instrument that records and measures seismic waves. • What is a seismograph?

  20. $400 $400 • The _____ scale rates earthquakes according to the size of the seismic waves recorded on a seismograph. • What is the Richter scale?

  21. $600 $600 • Each category in the _________ scale is a rating of the damage suffered by buildings, ground, and people during an earthquake. • What is the Mercalli Intensity scale?
