Miles P Wilson Gillian R Foulger Jon G Gluyas Richard J Davies amp Bruce R Julian British Seismology Meeting 5 th 7 th April 2017 1 Disclaimer and terminology Study background. 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. Earthquakes are very difficult to predict..

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.. 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. Why you need to prepare for the next earthquake . Alaska has more earthquakes than any other region of the U.S. . And in fact is one of the most seismically active area of the world..
