Red Book Chapter 8 Section 1
![Page 5: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Where Do Earthquakes Occur?
![Page 6: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Where do Earthquakes Occur?
• Seismology- the study of Earthquakes• According to the previous map, where do
Earthquakes occur?
• Answer: Earthquakes occur along fault lines due to the continuous movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates
The Largest Quakes occur due to the Pacific Plate!
![Page 7: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• What phenomenon causes the Earth’s Tectonic Plates to be in constant motion?
• Answer: Convection Currents of the Mantle
![Page 8: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What Causes Earthquakes?
• The push, pull, and grinding of tectonics plates against one another frequently causes deformation of those plates
• Deformation- the change in the shape of the rock as a response to tectonic motion– There are two types of deformation
![Page 9: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Deformation1. Plastic Rebound• The plate is deformed and takes on a new shape– As if you were molding clay
• Plastic Rebound does not cause Earthquakes
2. Elastic Rebound• The plate is deformed to a “breaking point” and snaps
back into its original shape or position with a great release of energy
• Elastic Rebound causes Earthquakes
![Page 10: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Elastic Rebound has been known to leave evidence such as displaced fence lines
![Page 11: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

How Do Earthquakes Travel?• Seismic Waves- Waves of energy that travel
through the Earth– Primary P Waves– Secondary S Waves
![Page 13: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Body Waves– Waves that travel in the interior of the Earth – P and S waves are Body Waves
• Surface Waves– Waves along that surface of the Earth that move
the ground just like the ocean waves
![Page 14: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Measuring Earthquakes
Chapter 8 Section 2
![Page 16: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Locating Earthquakes• Seismographs- measure seismic waves• Seismogram- unit of measurement as
recorded by a seismograph
What is the name of the Scientist who studies Earthquakes?
![Page 17: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Seismologists study Earthquakes• Earthquakes happen with Elastic Rebound– The SNAP!
• The seismograph starts recording at the start of the quake– The more movement, the bigger the quake!
• By comparing the P and S Waves on the machine, exact start time can be determined
Which Types of Wave Arrives First?P-Waves arrive first. P for Primary! They are faster because they travel through all types of matter: Solid, Liquid, and Gas
![Page 18: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Focus- Earthquake’s starting point in the body of the Earth
• Epicenter- location on the crust directly above the focus– Seismographs can also help to find the focus
![Page 19: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Scientists can see how far the Earthquake has traveled in a certain amount of time to locate the epicenter
![Page 20: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Finding the Epicenter
1. Circles are drawn around each effected seismograph station
![Page 21: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2. Circles for each station have an overlapping point
![Page 22: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3. When all circles are drawn, they all intersect at only one point.
This spot is the Epicenter!
![Page 23: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Measurement Methods• Richter Scale– Invented by Charles Richter – 1.0-10.0, bigger numbers for bigger damage
• Momentum Magnitude– Records amount of energy released– For every 1 pt on the Richter scale the energy
released is 31.7 times moreIf an Earthquake is measured at a 3.5 Richter, what
is the Momentum?3.5 x 31.7 = 110.95 units
Richter X 31.7 = Energy Units
![Page 24: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Assignment1. What is the difference between seismograph
and seismogram?2. At least how many seismograph stations are
need to locate an epicenter?3. What is the difference between the
Momentum Magnitude and the Richter Scale?
4. If an Earthquake is 7.0 on the Richter Scale, what is if on the Momentum Magnitude?
5. Which types of waves travel faster? Why?

Earthquake Hazard• Earthquake Hazard- How prone an area is to
receive Earthquakes– Determined by past and present seismic activity
Find where we live. Do we have a high or low hazard level?
![Page 27: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Earthquake Forecasting• What do you think it means to Earthquake
Forecast?• Answer: The practice of predicting when and
where Earthquakes will occur!• Seismologists have discovered patterns in
Earthquake activity that allows for predictions• Fault zones are closely monitored for seismic
activity
![Page 28: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

• The Gap Hypothesis – active faults with few quakes are likely to have strong quakes
• Seismic Gaps – areas along a fault where few quakes have occurred
![Page 30: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Seismic Gap Hypothesis helped seismologists determine the time, place, and strength of the 1989 San Fran Quake
![Page 31: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Earthquakes and Buildings
• When the ground shifts, the center of gravity for a building shifts, and the building falls
• Earthquake resistance buildings:– Mass Damper- weight on roof to stop movement– Cross Braces- strengthen the floors– Flexible Pipes- prevent breaks– Active Tendon- base weight to stop movement– Base Isolators- absorb seismic waves
![Page 32: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Mass Dampers can be metal weights or water filled tanks
![Page 33: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Are You Prepared?
• Before Shaking Starts– Put heavy objects on low shelves• Less likely to hit anyone if they fall
– Designated meeting spots• Communication lines will be out
– Stashes of flashlights, water, canned foods, batteries, first aid, fire extinguisher
![Page 34: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• When Shaking Starts– Crouch/lay under sturdy table/desk– Cover your head with your hands– Remain in your vehicle

Natural Disasters
• Earthquakes can cause many disasters such as:– Tsunamis– Landslides/Mudslides– Avalanches– Fires from gas leaks– Floods
![Page 39: E3.P3XB Unit Plate Boundaries and Earthquakes. Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d825503460f94a67f39/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
WEIRD!
• We know that many quakes occur on the West Coast of the US, but did you know that the Mid-West and East Coast can feel them, too?!
• In 1811, four HUGE quakes rocked Missouri, causing the Mississippi to run backwards. The waves traveled all the way to Boston and rang the church bells!
