Document Summary
Give an example where this is happening today. Lecture 1 handout review for test 1. D on divergent boundaries; c on convergent boundaries; tfm on the transform fault margin. Risk is proportional to [probability of occurrence] times the [cost of the probably loss from the event] Rayleigh waves: travel on solids; produced in materials in many ways, such as by a localized impact or by piezo-electric transduction, and are frequently used in non- destructive testing for detecting defects. Not subduction type of convergent plate boundary. Faults versus jointing san andreas fault and denali fault. In class question: the map below shows the plate configurations along the western margin of. Two different types of plates: oceanic & continental. Option 1 : 2 subduction zone; option 2: oceanic ridge + convergent zone; option 3: subduction zone on the left plate; option 4: Body: travels through interior; used to measure magnitude. Compressional particle motion is parallel to propagation (slinky like sound waves)
