A fracture along which there has been displacement of the sides relative to one another.. 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. 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?. other non-linear motions. M. . A. Floyd. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA. School of Earth . Sciences, University of Bristol.

An earthquake (also known as a quake, . tremor) . is the . shaking of the surface. of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves. . 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.. Great earthquakes (Earthquakes larger than magnitude 8) rock the state on average every 13 years since the 1900. . Lisa Bishop. Amber Sanderson. Savannah Wallace. What? When? Where?.

Stress-. a force (energy) that acts on rock to change its shape or volume. Types of Stress. Tension-. pulls or stretches rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle. This happens at divergent plate boundaries.. Content Purpose:. Explore the scientific theory of plate tectonics by describing how the movement of Earth's crustal plates causes both slow and rapid changes in Earth's surface, including volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and mountain building. .
