This is a fracture surface along which rocks can slip

The type of seismic wave that travels the fastest.

This instrument helps to measure the magnitude of an earthquake.

The most common hazard following an earthquake.

This is the direct cause of earthquakes

This type of seismic wave can travel through solids but NOT through liquids.

This instrument records seismic waves.

Another name for a seismic sea wave.

The fault type that is assocaited with transform plate motion and moderate, shallow earthquakes

The following statement is true of what type of seismic wave:
"They travel fastest through rock"

This type of seismic wave shows up first on a seismograph.

The type of hazard when a building is sitting on loose or unstable ground and an earthquake causes that dirt to move like liquid.

The plate motion associated with a reverse fault and STRONG, DEEP earthquakes

This type of seismic wave causes the most damage.

The amount of seismograph recordings needed to locate the epicenter of an earthquake.

People living along this are at the greatest risk from the effects of earthquakes.

The characteristics associated with earthquakes that come from divergent plate motion and a normal fault line

These types of waves help scientists to determine the internal structure of the earth.

The amount of energy released during an earthquake is measured on this type of scale.

The best defense against an earthquake
