An earthquake is the vibration of Earth produced by the rapid release of energy

Focus and Epicenter• Focus is the point within Earth where the
earthquake starts. • Epicenter is the location on the surface directly
above the focus
Faults• Faults are fractures in Earth where movement
has occurred

Elastic Rebound Hypothesis• Most earthquakes are produced by the rapid
release of elastic energy stored in rock that has been subjected to great forces.
• When the strength of the rock is exceeded, it suddenly breaks, causing the vibrations of an earthquake.

Earthquake Waves
Body Waves• Identified as P waves or S waves
P waves• Are push-pull waves that push (compress) and
pull (expand) in the direction that the waves travel

S waves• Seismic waves that travel along Earth’s outer
layer• Shake particles at right angles to the direction
that they travel• Travel only through solids• Slower velocity than P waves• A seismogram shows all three types of seismic
waves—surface waves, P waves, and S waves.

Locating an EarthquakeEarthquake Distance
• The epicenter is located using the difference in the arrival times between P and S wave recordings, which are related to distance.Earthquake Direction
• Travel-time graphs from three or more seismographs can be used to find the exact location of an earthquake epicenter.Earthquake Zones
• About 95 % of the major earthquakes occur in a few narrow zones.

Seismic wave behaviorP waves arrive first, then S waves, then L and RAverage speeds for all these waves is knownAfter an earthquake, the difference in arrival times at a seismograph station can be used to calculate the distance from the seismograph to the epicenter.

• Three seismograph stations are needed to locate the epicenter of an earthquake
• A circle where the radius equals the distance to the epicenter is drawn
• The intersection of the circles locates the epicenter
