Faults are classified by how rocks move The blocks of rock along different types of faults move in different directions depending on the kinds of stress they are under There are three types of faults. 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.. 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. 8.53. Write a narrative with supporting text describing the effects of the New Madrid Earthquakes of 1811-12 on the land and people of Tennessee. (G, H, . TN). Bell Ringer. : What might this map represent? Why do you think so? . Comparing and contrasting earthquakes. Have compared the impacts of earthquakes on a . MEDC. and a . LEDC. .. Have considered development as a key issue in . earthquake response. .. By the end of this section, you will: . 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.. Essential . Questions. What are earthquake magnitude and intensity and how are they measured?. Why are data from at least three seismic stations needed to locate an earthquake’s epicenter?. Where are Earth’s seismic belts?. They Shape Our Landscape. As plates move, we may feel these movements as earthquakes. If there were no plate motions, our planet would not look like home. There would be no mountains, no valleys, no plateaus . other non-linear motions. M. . A. Floyd. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA. School of Earth .

Earthquakes result from sudden motions along breaks in Earth’s crust and can affect landforms and societies.. An entire branch of Earth science, called . seismology. , is devoted to studying earthquakes.. 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 . Move it, move it !!. What are they?.

An earthquake is a motion of the ground surface.. According to A.N. . Strahler. and A.H. . Strahler. ,(1976), ‘An earthquake is a vibration or oscillation of the surface of the earth caused by a transient disturbance of the elastic or gravitational equilibrium of the rocks at or beneath the earth the surface’..
