Document Summary
Slide 1: stanford u, ca 1905 or something. Slide 5: focus = point where movement occurs, where seismic energy is released. Slide 6: epicenter = the point on the surface of the earth directly above the focus. Slide 8: faults, obviously associated with tectonic plates. Slide 10: aftershocks: the ground settling in after being shifted and unbalanced by the main earthquake. Slide 15: think of an ekg waves are labeled with different letters first p, then s, then l. Slide 17: third blank: solids secondary waves think ripple effect, Slide 18: l waves are the ones we see that tear buildings down. Slide 19: slinky compressional/primary wave, (p wave) secondary wave, flicking a wave through a rope, (s wave) Slide 20: fourth blank: fluids picture of the slinky is a gif, pushing a compressed section along the length of the slinky. Slide 21: responsibly for the damage caused by a severe earthquake.
