Earthquakes
by isaiah Farmer
1. Transform Plate Boundary
1.1. This boundary is where plates are sliding past one another. An example is the San Andreas fault line in California, US
2. Convergent Plate Boundary
2.1. This boundary is where plates collide with each other creating mountains.
3. Divergent Plate Boundary
3.1. Apart, dividing rift that have a physical appearance of a rift boundary or seafloor spreading
4. Convection Currents
4.1. In mantle, cause plate movement
5. Types of Plate Boundaries
6. Asthenosphere
6.1. Another name for Earth's crust
7. occur in the
8. Boundaries
8.1. Lines where tectonic plates meet
9. occur along
10. Tremors
11. Cause these to run through the ground
12. Tectonic Plates
12.1. Are Earth's Crust
12.2. Float on the mantle
13. occur because of the movement of
14. Landforms
14.1. Mountains
14.2. Volcanoes
14.3. Valleys
15. How strong an earthquake is
16. Tension
17. are caused by
18. Magnitude
18.1. How strong the earthquake is
19. Moment-Magnitude Scale
19.1. More Reliable than Richter Scale
20. P Waves
20.1. Push and Pull Waves
21. S waves
21.1. Shake waves
22. Continental
23. Two types of plates
24. Oceanic
25. Seismometer
26. release
27. Seismic Waves
28. Belt
28.1. Areas where earthquakes occur
29. Happen in a
30. Energy
31. release
32. Earthquake waves
33. Focus
33.1. Where the earthquake begins below ground
34. start at the
35. Epicenter
35.1. Directly above focus
36. Commonly occur on
37. Plate Margins
37.1. Destructive
37.1.1. Where on plate goes under another
37.2. Constructive
37.2.1. When two plates float apart
37.3. Collision
37.3.1. When two plates crush against each other
37.4. Conservative
37.4.1. When two plates slide past each otger
