Pre-lab reading and quiz
Read Chapter 8 of your textbook and review your lecture notes on earthquakes.
Define the following terms:
Earthquake: is the sudden release of built-up energy by the earth creating displacements in
rock minerals.
Focus: is a point underground where the rock breaks and generates the seismic waves.
Epicenter: is a point on earth’s surface directly above the focus.
Where do most earthquakes occur?
Most earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
In what order do the different types of seismic waves arrive at a recording station?
First the P wave occurs then S waves and then first surface wave.
What is the difference between magnitude and intensity?
Magnitude measures energy released at the source and intensity measures the strength of
shaking.
