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. Indian National Antarctic Data Center (INADC). 7. th. September 2011.

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.. 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 . Earth’s Dynamic Crust. Original Horizontality (law of superposition):.
