1) Convection currents in the Earth’s core cause the tectonic plates to move- FALSE
2) A magnitude 6 earthquake is twice the size of a magnitude 3 earthquake
- FALSE
3) S waves travel faster than P waves- FALSE
4) Shield volcanoes have viscous magma and steep sides - FALSE
Do now: Just write TRUE or FALSE to the following:

Types of Waves
3 different waves move through rock like ripples in a pond.

Types of Waves
P-Waves or primary waves are the first waves to hit as they move the fastest (8km/s). They squeeze and stretch the rock.

Types of Waves
The next waves to hit are the secondary waves (S-Waves). These waves move at 5km/s and make the ground shake up and down as well as from side to side.

Types of Waves
Traveling at 4km/s are the last waves to hit, the L-Waves. These waves do the most damage as they travel near the surface of the crust.

Types of Waves
All three together.
Now do the worksheet on P, S, L waves

Locating the Epicentre
It takes data from at least 3 seismographs to locate the epicentre.
Here is the data from 3 stations.Seismic Station Distance (km)
Auckland 4000
Hawaii 4000
Fiji 3000
