GEOL 1304 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Seismic Wave, Plate Tectonics, Photographic Plate
Document Summary
Vibrations (shock waving ) in earth from sudden release of zip , radiate through the impudence , diminish with length -result of friction along dental plate edge and faults -it is the gist. Primary (p) waves push clout question -locomotion through any material -speed is a function of density and compression. Seismic waves drudgery vibration caused by rock gaffe along opposite english of a fault -cause earthquakes. There is a gradual build up of strain due to long-term plate tectonic forces2. 99% of earthquakes are associated with photographic plate bound. The record of an temblor "s seismic waves produced by a seismograph. Ground vibration : causes the most terms . From all seismic waves, but from surface the most. Ex) clay , silt, baroness dudevant , sed. rocks more than granite . an seism is an abrupt zip release that produces vibrations and causes the tearing of the earth"s material.
