Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Earthquake Basics But maybe some that you haven’t already learned and some great pictures to go with it Overview: Global perspective Plate tectonics Faults Real-life examples of faults Fault rupture movie Earthquake shaking and effects Seismic waves, magnitude and location Faults and earthquakes in our local area earthquake info on the web
  2. Map of world Dots are earthquakes Not scattered all over the world, but make a pattern
  3. Pattern of earthquakes defines the boundaries of tectonic plates About 23 major plates Can you see where we are? Boundary between two plates We’ll come back to this later
  4. Three types of interactions between plates as they move around: Sliding past one another - transform boundary Running into one another - convergent boundary Moving away from one another - divergent boundary
  5. Three types of faults Form depending on type of plate motion and complex reaction of earth’s lithospheric blocks Strike-slip Normal Thrust
  6. Strike-slip example moletrack
  7. Before earthquake manure pile was under window where farmer shoveled it out from inside Fault runs right under corner of barn After earthquake manure pile moved over about 10 feet
  8. Total distribution of slip after earthquake happened. Red is a lot of slip, blue is no slip You can see that the whole surface did not slip the same amount Nor did it slip all at the same time, as you will see in this movie
  9. Snapshots every 2 seconds during the rupture Starts in southern part of fault
  10. Y axis is length of fault X axis is magnitude of earthquake
  11. Y axis is how many seconds the earthquake lasts X axis is the magnitude of the earthquake
  12. Northridge earthquake 1994 Parking garage at Cal State Northridge
  13. LA on Pacific Plate San Francisco on North American Plate San Andreas Fault is boundary Relative motion Takes Big Bend above LA area and causes compression in our area
  14. San Andreas Fault in red Point out other major faults
  15. Can’t predict earthquakes But we can tell you a lot about one that just happened Within minutes after it happened All info on the web. Plot from last Thursday How many earthquakes happen each day in CA? ~60
