EarthquakeS: Transcript


By 10 grade What is an earthquake Simply earthquakes are the rumblings shaking or rolling of the earths surface It is usually what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another or break apart from each other as a result of tension caused by prolonged energy build up . 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. 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. Earthquakes are very difficult to predict.. Scientists understand why they happen, but it is very difficult to predict their . timing, exact location, and . strength. Pressure. build-up happens underground, over very long periods of . 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: . 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. United Kingdom. 2–5 May 2017. Material from T. A. Herring, R. W. King, M. A. Floyd (MIT) and S. C. . Miles P. Wilson. Gillian R. Foulger, Jon G. . Gluyas. , Richard J. Davies & Bruce R. Julian. British Seismology Meeting. 5. th-. 7. th. April 2017. 1. Disclaimer and terminology. Study background. 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 . 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. . 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.. 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.. 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. . 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’.. Structure of the Earth. What are the different layers of the Earth?. Structure of the Earth. Inner core. 6000. °C. Solid metal. Structure of the Earth. Outer core. 4500-6000. °C. Liquid metal. Structure of the Earth.
