Faults

Fault: A crack in a rock body along which there has been some movement.

Back Next

Crust: Comparatively thin, outermost, solid layer of the Earth.

Tsunami

Tsunami: A large sea wave usually trigged by an earthquake on the sea floor.

Richter scale

Richter scale: A scale of earthquake magnitude, based on seismograph recordings, that is a measure of the amount of energy released from an earthquake.

S-Waves

S-Waves: Move more slowly than a P-Wave, it is the second wave to arrive.

Back Next

P-Waves

P-Waves: are the first wave to arrive at a seismograph.

Mercalli scale

Mercalli scale: A scale of earthquake intensity based on observation of the effect produced by ground motion.

Back Next

Epicenter

Epicenter: A location on the surface of the Earth directly above the point (focus) where an earthquake.

Back Next

Seismograph

Seismograph: A mechanical instrument used to measure ground motion graphically: usually measures motion form earthquakes.
