Subduction Zone
There are 1 dozen or so plates that make up the surface of the
Earth. Each of these plates are floating on the mantle. They
Are bumping and grinding on each other creating earthquakes.
2. Explain how a seismograph
works.
Can you tell how one
Works?
Earthquakes generate seismic waves
which can be detected with a
sensitive
instrument called a seismograph.
Advances in seismograph
technology have increased
our understanding of both
earthquakes and the Earth itself.
Perhaps the earliest seismograph
was invented in China A.D. 136 by
a m an named Choko.
3. Explain paths of Seismic
Waves.
1. P waves - creates the big band sound,
fastest wave first to travel and is a
compression wave.
2. S waves - are transverse waves with an up
and down motion.
3. L waves - most destructive waves are last
to hit and result in a rolling motion.
4. How do you locate an
epicenter?
You must have three different seismographs at three different
Locations - then you can pinpoint the different times each picked
Up the earthquake wave. You will do this in a lab.

Plate tectonics is a theory that explains the plates that make up the
Crust are floating and grinding against each other.
• 7. How is a tsunami generated?
• Underwater earthquakes that jolt the water.
As it travels it gains height by the beach.
• 8. Name some places in the US that have
seen the most quakes - Why do you think
these are high risk zones?
• California up to Washington are part of the
ring of fire. This is where San Andreas
Fault is and the Cascade Mountains
• 9. List many ways one can prepare for an
earthquake
• Have tools handy to turn off gas
• Extra water and food
• Ready made shelters
• Extra medication
• Have arraigned a place to call
