PPT-Earthquakes & hurricanes

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. 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.. Anthony R. Lupo. Department of Soil, Environmental, and Atmospheric Science. 302 E ABNR Building. University of Missouri – Columbia. Columbia, MO 65211. Hurricanes: The Evil Wind. Hurricanes are a tropical system, which have a unique structure, and, sometimes, unique behavior. . 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? . 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.. 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?. 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 .
