Chapter 19 - Earthquakes 19.1- Forces within Earth Earthquakes Result of movement of crust produced by ______. Stress = total ______acting on crustal rocks Builds up ______ Overcomes strength of rocks and causes movement along ______in rock Earthquake = ______caused by movement in crust
Stress Three types ______– decrease volume of material Tension – pulls material ______ ______– causes material to twist
Strain = ______of material in a response to stress
Deformation Elastic – when a material is______, bent, or stretched at ______stress Material can return to “______” when stress is zero Example: Pulling on a rubber band
Deformation ______– stress builds up past elastic limit Permanent deformation – stays changed even when stress is ______ Point of Rupture = ______ Example: Pulling rubber band until it breaks
Deformation Most materials exhibit varying degrees of plastic and ______deformation
Faults Any fracture or system of fractures along which Earth moves Happens along ______regions Fault ______= surface along which movement takes place
Faults ______Fault – form as a results of horizontal and ______compression that squeezes rock Seen near ______plate boundaries Two areas end up ______together after faulting
______fault – movement partly horizontal and partly vertical ______movement pulls rocks apart and stretches crust Vertical movement causes one side of rock to move ______relative to the other side Two areas end up ______apart after faulting
Strike-slip ______– caused by horizontal shear Movement is mainly horizontal in opposite direction Example: San Andreas Fault Creates ______features after movement
Earthquake waves ______waves = vibration of the ground produced during an earthquake Primary waves = ______and push rocks in same direction wave is traveling Secondary waves = cause rocks to move at ______angles relative to wave direction Slower than ______waves ______waves = cause most destruction and take longest to past Slowest wave, only travel of Earth’s ______
Seismic Waves Earthquake ______= point where waves originate Epicenter = point on surface directly ______focus
