What are Earthquakes? The shaking or trembling caused by the sudden release of energy
Usually associated with faulting or breaking of rocks
Continuing adjustment of position results in aftershocks
![Page 3: Key Terms for Section 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b63550346895dc95028/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What are Earthquakes? Seismology – the study of Earthquakes Seismologists – scientists who study
Earthquakes

As plates push, pull, or slip past each other, stress increases along faults.
Deformation is a result of the stress Deformation – the change to the shape of rock in response to stress
What causes Earthquakes?
![Page 5: Key Terms for Section 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b63550346895dc95028/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Two Types of Deformation Plastic Deformation◦Deforms like a piece of molded clay
◦Does not cause Earthquakes
![Page 6: Key Terms for Section 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b63550346895dc95028/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Two Types of Deformation Elastic Deformation
◦Deforms like a rubber band◦Leads to Earthquakes◦Rock keeps stretching until it finally
breaks◦When it breaks energy is released◦Broken pieces return to their
unstretched shape

What is the Elastic Rebound Theory?
![Page 8: Key Terms for Section 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b63550346895dc95028/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Elastic Rebound The sudden return of elastically deformed
rock to its original shape Occurs when more stress is applied to rock
than the rock can withstand Energy is released Travels as seismic waves, which cause an
Earthquake
![Page 9: Key Terms for Section 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b63550346895dc95028/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is a fault? A fault is a break in the Earth’s crust along
which the blocks of the crust slide relative to one another
Earthquakes occur along faults because of the sliding
![Page 10: Key Terms for Section 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b63550346895dc95028/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Where do Earthquakes occur? Most take place near the edges of tectonic
plates Earthquakes can occur at:
◦ Convergent Boundaries (Reverse Fault)◦ Divergent Boundaries (Normal Fault)◦ Transform Boundaries (Strike-Slip Fault)
![Page 11: Key Terms for Section 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b63550346895dc95028/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Faults at Tectonic Plate Boundaries Transform = Strike-slip fault Convergent = reverse fault Divergent = normal fault
![Page 12: Key Terms for Section 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b63550346895dc95028/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Earthquake Zones Can happen at
Earth’s surface or far below
Earthquakes Zones are places where a large number of faults are located◦ Ex – San Andreas Fault
Not all faults are on plate boundaries

When enough stress builds up in rock, the rock breaks. This creates a fault.
A fault is where slabs of crust slide past each other.
Faults

How do Earthquakes Travel? Seismic Waves – waves of energy that travel
through the Earth Body Waves – seismic waves that travel
through the Earth’s interior◦ Two Types:
P Waves S Waves
Surface Waves – seismic waves that travel along the Earth’s surface
![Page 35: Key Terms for Section 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b63550346895dc95028/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
How do Earthquakes Travel? P Waves
◦ Pressure waves◦ Waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases◦ Fastest waves◦ Also called primary waves◦ Move rock back and forth squeezing and stretching the
rock
S Waves◦ Shear waves◦ Can’t travel through parts of the Earth that are all liquid◦ Slower than P Waves and arrive later◦ Also called secondary waves◦ Stretch the rock sideways, movement is side to side
![Page 36: Key Terms for Section 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b63550346895dc95028/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
How do Earthquakes travel? Surface Waves
◦ Two types Once produces motion up, down, and around Other produces back and forth motion
◦ Travel more slowly than body waves and are more destructive

Where Do Earthquakes Occur and How Often?~80% of all earthquakes occur in the circum-Pacific belt~15% occur in the Mediterranean-Asiatic belt~remaining 5% occur in the interiors of plates and on
spreading ridge centers◦ more than 150,000 quakes strong enough to be felt are
recorded each year
