What Is An Earthquake? Click here to find out

Adapted from powerpoint by Liz LaRosa http://www.middleschoolscience.com 2009
What is an earthquake?
• Used to describe both sudden slip on a fault, and the resulting
ground shaking and radiated seismic energy caused by the slip
• Caused by volcanic or plate activity,

http://eqseis.geosc.psu.edu

The map above shows the distribution of earthquakes with magnitudes greater
than 5.0 that occurred between 1965 and 1995.
Three Types of Faults

Strike-Slip

Pulls on the crust stretching rock so that it becomes thinner (like pulling
on bubble gum) =
Occurs when plates are moving apart

What causes earthquakes?
• Tectonic plates move past each other causing
stress. Stress causes the rock to deform
– What type of fault boundary is this? transform
– What type of stress is shown? shearing
Strike – slip fault
Rocks on either side of fault slip past each other sideways with little
up or down motion What type of stress is produced?

Occurs at a transform plate boundary
Animation of strike-slip motion
Fault rupture across road in western Kaynasli, right-lateral strike slip displacement was
about 4.0 m (13 feet) at this location

Reverse fault
Pushes on the crust squeezing rock until it folds or breaks (like a trash
compactor) =
Occurs when plates are moving together

What type of fault?

http://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/EarthSC-102VisualsIndex.HTM
Focus – 1. point inside the Earth where an
earthquake begins
Epicenter – 2. point on Earth’s surface above focus where
earthquake is FELT most strongly

How Seismographs Work
A seismograph is an instrument used for recording the intensity and
duration of an earthquake.

the pendulum remains
fixed as the ground
moves beneath it

Earthquakes
• How are earthquakes measured?

Seismogram –
seismic wave
display record

Seismograph
machine
Seismic Waves
Primary Waves (P Waves)

• A type of seismic wave that compresses
and expands the ground
• The first wave to arrive at an
earthquake
http://daphne.meccahosting.com/~a0000e89/insideearth2.htm
Secondary Waves (S Waves)
• A type of seismic wave that moves the
ground up and down or side to side

http://daphne.meccahosting.com/~a0000e89/insideearth2.htm
Comparing Seismic Waves
Surface Waves
• Move along the Earth’s surface
• Produces motion in the upper crust
– Motion can be up and down
– Motion can be around
– Motion can be back and forth

• Travel more slowly than S and P waves
• More destructive
Animation of wave types
How do scientists calculate how far a location is
from the epicenter of an earthquake?

• Scientists calculate the difference
between arrival times of the P waves
and S waves

• The further away an earthquake is, the
greater the time between the arrival of
the P waves and the S waves
Typical Seismogram
How much time elapsed between the arrival of the
P wave (start) and the arrival of the S wave (finish)?

How are Earthquakes Measured?
Richter Scale
A logarithmic scale
used to express the
total amount of
energy released
magnitude
___________ of an
earthquake. Its
values typically fall
between 0 and 9,
with each increase
of 1 representing a
10-fold
_________ increase
in energy.
How are Earthquakes Measured?
Mercalli Intensity Scale
A scale of earthquake intensity based on ___________
observed effects
and ranging from I (detectable only with instruments) to
XII (causing almost total destruction).

Tsunamis

http://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/EarthSC-102VisualsIndex.HTM
Formation of a tsunami
a large ocean wave usually caused by an underwater earthquake
or a volcanic explosion.

PBS –tsunami animation

http://isu.indstate.edu/jspeer/Earth&Sky/EarthCh11.ppt
With typical waves, water flows in circles, but with a tsunami, water
flows straight. This is why tsunamis cause so much damage!

People walk along a damaged road in the province
of Bohol on Tuesday, October 15, 2013.

Do you think this was a major earthquake? Why or why not?
Yes, it was a major quake.
It crumbled a number of buildings

  1. Liz LaRosa http://www.middleschoolscience.com 2009 for my 5th grade science class 2009
  2. Normal fault - Results in hanging wall slipping downward
  3. Transform plate boundary showing shearing stress.
  4. Reverse fault – hanging wall has moved upward
  5. Contrary to intuition, an earthquake does not make the pendulum swing. Instead, the pendulum remains fixed as the ground moves beneath it. A pendulum with a short period (left) moves along with the support and registers no motion. A pendulum with a long period (right) tends to remain in place while the support moves.The boundary between the two types of behavior is the natural period of the pendulum. Only motions faster than the natural period will be detected; any motion slower will not. 
  6. Approximately 5 minutes and 20 seconds.
