- What characteristics of rocks does stress affect?
- Which direction does the force take for each?
- What does each type of stress do to rocks in the crust?
- What type of plate boundary is associated with each?
- What is the definition of a fault?
- Which type of stress is related to each fault type?
- Identify the foot-wall and hanging-wall for normal and reverse faults.
- Identify the direction of movement along each type of fault.
In order to locate the epicenter of an earthquake:
- How many locations do you need information from?
- What information do you need from each location?
- How do you interpret this information to make it useful?
- What types of waves are created in an earthquake?
- In which directions does each type of wave move?
- What are the relative speeds of P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves? (Which would you feel first, second, and third?)
- What two general ways can an earthquake be measured?
- Which two scales are currently used to measure earthquakes? (Hint: one of these scales has a predecessor that news anchors reference incorrectly all the time)
- What is the difference between magnitude and intensity?
