What are the 3
stresses that
deform the
Earth’s surface?
The measure of
the amount of
force applied to
a given area.
What is Stress?
Any change
in the shape or
volume
of Earth’s crust
What is deformation?
This adds energy to
the rock.
Energy is stored
in the rock.
What is stress?
Tension forces
in the Earth’s
crust
cause this type
of fault.
What is a Normal
fault?
The Appalachian &
the Himalayan
mountains were
formed this way.
What is folding?
The stress that
causes folding.
What is
compression?
A large area of flat
land elevated high
above sea level.
What is a plateau?
Fault Type
What is a Reverse
fault?
A fold that bends
upward in a
mountain.
What is an
anticline?
The point beneath
Earth’s surface
where the rock
under stress
breaks.
What is the focus of
an earthquake?
The point on the
surface directly
above the point
where the
earthquake takes
What is the
epicenter?
They are vibrations that
travel through the earth
carrying the energy released
during a Earthquake
What are Seismic
Waves?
It records the
ground movement
caused by Seismic
Waves
What is a
Seismograph?
Primary waves
Secondary waves
Surface waves
What are the types
of seismic waves?
An earthquake
that takes place
after a larger
earthquake
What is an
aftershock?
When an earthquake turns soft
earth to liquid mud
What is
liquefaction?
In 1964,
liquefaction
triggered this in
the Alaskan

What are
landslides?
This means
“harbor wave” in
Japanese.

Buildings with this
can absorb the
earthquakes energy
when the building
begins to shake.
What is Base
Isolation?
Drop, Cover and
Hold
What is the best
way to protect
yourseldf in an
earthquake?
This meter has
liquid in it like a
carpenter’s level.
What is a tiltmeter?
This uses a wire
stretched across a
fault
What is a
creepmeter?
Geologists use the
location of faults
and where past
earthquakes have
occurred
How are
earthquake risk
maps made?
