Lab this week will be the . NAAP Variable Star Photometry. Due to bad weather, the Telescopic Observations of the Moon lab due date will be extended three weeks to October 2. Homework: Chapter 3 # 1, 2, 3, 4 & . -Black. Shensi, China. When did this happen?. January 23, 1556. How many people died?. It is estimated that 830,000 people where killed in it.. The geological effects that were reported where ground fissures, uplift, subsidence, liquefaction, and landslides.. Deformation. The process of when a rock changes because of stress. Compression. -rocks push together (squeezing). Tension. -rocks pull away from each other (stretching). Rock layers bend when stress is placed on them. But when the stress is placed on rocks, they can reach their elastic limit and break. The Earths crust . The earths crust is in constant motion.. Volcanoes and earthquakes arise as sections of crust push . toghether. or pulled apart. Volcanoes and earthquakes are more common in certain parts of the world. By monitoring ground vibrations scientists can sometimes. Earthquakes are very difficult to predict.. Scientists understand why they happen, but it is very difficult to predict their . timing, exact location, and . strength. Pressure. build-up happens underground, over very long periods of . Earthquake. – shaking and trebling that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth’s surface.. Plate movement causes earthquakes from stress and faults in Earth’s crust. When the rock breaks earthquakes happen. Chapter 2 Section 3. Objectives. F.2.3.1. Explain how a seismograph works.. F.2.3.2. Describe how Geologists monitor faults.. F.2.3.3. . Explain how . seismograph data is used.. The Seismograph. Seismic waves cause the seismographs drum to vibrate but the suspended weight with the pen attached moves very little. Therefore the pen remains still and records the vibrations on the drum.. . By : . Deavian. foster . Class : 5H. What is an earthquake?. A earthquake is a shaking of the earths crust and is a geological phenomenon . Earthquakes can cause intense vibration of the ground, soil liquefaction, and distortion of the ground. Earthquakes can happen almost anywhere but are most common along the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Earthquakes are primarily caused of movement of the tectonic plates. It lasts more than a few seconds.. Earth’s Dynamic Crust. Original Horizontality (law of superposition):. Assumption . that sedimentary/igneous rocks form in horizontal layers . Deformity. Folded: Layers are bent/curved. Deformity. other non-linear motions. M. . A. Floyd. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA. School of Earth . Sciences, University of Bristol. United Kingdom. 2–5 May 2017. Material from T. A. Herring, R. W. King, M. A. Floyd (MIT) and S. C. . Earthquakes. What if you knew the epicenter was . 572 . km from Vancouver?. Earthquakes. What if you ALSO know that it is . 884 . km from Prince Rupert?. Earthquakes. Finally, you also know that the epicenter is . An . earthquake. is a shaking of the ground caused by the sudden movement of large blocks of rock along a fault. Earthquakes occur along faults.. A . fault. is a fracture, or break, in Earth’s lithosphere, along which blocks of rock move past each other.. Move it, move it !!. What are they?. Fault: a break or fracture in the crust of Earth.. Earthquakes: shaking or trembling of the earth caused by movement along a fault.. Uplift: upward movement of Earth’s crust.. . What Is an Earthquake?. An . earthquake. is the vibration of Earth produced by the rapid release of energy. Energy released radiates in all directions from its source, the . focus. . Energy is in the form of waves.
