the block above the fault has moved downward relative to the block below

are vertical fractures where the blocks of mostly move horizontally

earthquakes are produced by sudden movement along faults and plate boundaries

it depends on the magnitude of earthquake

the deformation along the length of the ground rupture depends on the type of faulting

characteristics of ground rupture

types of body waves

one side goes up or down

are seismic waves that travel through the body of the earth

any sudden movement of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves

deformation of the ground that makes the intersection of the fault

is a measure of earthquake size and remains unchanged with distance

describes the degree of shaking caused by an earthquake at a given place

2 types of strike slip

secondary effect of earthquake

are typically generated when the source of the earthquake is close to the earth's surface

types of surface waves

types of waves

lateral movement from side to side one goes to left or right

types of fault

primary effect of earthquake

type of seismic wave in which rock particles vibrate at right angles

caused by rapid vibration produced waves that travels through the earth can cause damage, fall or collapse of buildings

also a seismic surface wave led to the horizontal shifting of the earth

use real numbers

also called longitudinal waves or compressional waves due to particle compression

also known as ground roll spread to the ground as ripples

how ground shaking is measured

the upper block, above the fault plane, moves up and over the lower block

types of ground rupture

earthquakes are induced by rising lava or magma beneath active volcano

use roman numerals

the outermost layer of the earth is broken into pieces

our planet is
