What is an earthquake?
An earthquake is a vibration of the surface of the Earth resulting from a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust.
Energy waves that travel through the Earth's crust
Any geological event caused by the Earth
The motion of large broken pieces of the Earth's crust
2
Multiple Choice
What scale do we measure earthquakes with?
Beaufort scale
Moment magnitude
3
Multiple Choice
How do we locate earthquakes?
Analyzing animal behavior
Using multiple seismographs to triangulate the epicenter
Observing changes in atmospheric pressure
Using seismographs to measure ground shaking
4
Multiple Choice
What are the three types of seismic waves?
Convergent, divergent, transform
Normal, reverse, strike-slip
Compression, tension, shearing
Primary, secondary, surface
5
Multiple Choice
What is the proper sequence of an earthquake?
Foreshock, Main shock, Aftershock
Main shock, Foreshock, Aftershock
Primary, Secondary, Surface
Hypershock, Main shock, Aftershock

How do
earthquakes strike?
-When an earthquake happens, it may
have three separate “shocks” to it.
-A foreshock might come first, triggering a
larger earthquake minutes, hours, days, or
even months later
-Can’t tell if it’s a foreshock until later

How do
earthquakes strike?
-When an earthquake happens, it may
have three separate “shocks” to it.
-Next up is the mainshock, the largest
earthquake in the series
8
How do
earthquakes strike?
-When an earthquake happens, it may
have three separate “shocks” to it.
Finally, we get aftershocks. These are smaller than the main shock, but dozens to hundreds occur in the hours, days, months, and years after the main shock
9
Multiple Choice
Which shock is the largest in the sequence?
Main shock
Foreshock
Static shock
Aftershock
10
Multiple Choice
Which shock is rare, but always proceeds the main shock?
Main shock
Foreshock
Static shock
Aftershock
11
Multiple Choice
Which type of earthquakes come after a large (7.0) earthquake for hours, days, and years after the event?
Main shock
Foreshock
Static shock
Aftershock
12
How could you locate where an earthquake strikes?
