Continuation of plate tectonics- convection in the
asthenosphere is still the driving force of moving
lithospheric plates.

At plate boundaries where pressure builds up and eventually breaks rock
• Usually not in the middle of plates (1%)• We call these Intraplate earthquakes
Faults occur where boundaries meet and rocks “pass their elastic limit”
• Earthquakes often occur near these fault lines• Three types of faults
See Exploring Earth Website

1. Normal faults• Caused by TENSIONAL forces• Forces PULL OR STRETCH rocks

2. Reverse- - caused by COMPRESSIONAL forces- rocks are PUSHED toward each other

3. Strike-slip fault- Caused by SHEAR forces- Rocks move PAST EACH OTHER with little up or down motion.

Point where plate movement occurs and energy is originated is called the focus (can be miles below the surface).
Point on Earth’s surface above the focus is called the epicenter
![Page 14: Continuation of plate tectonics- convection in the asthenosphere is still the driving force of moving lithospheric plates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062807/56649cf05503460f949bec88/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Let’s see if we can figure out from our data first!!!
Now let’s consult a textbook’s website and see what you think.
Normal (divergent): shallow Strike-slip (transform): shallow Intraplate: shallow Reverse (convergent)
• C/C - shallow• C/O - all depths (up to 700 km – 435 mi) Focus Depths increase farther from the coast Due to subduction

All types of seismic waves (s,p and surface) are detected by seismographs and recorded on seismograms.
![Page 18: Continuation of plate tectonics- convection in the asthenosphere is still the driving force of moving lithospheric plates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062807/56649cf05503460f949bec88/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
An earthquake creates seismic waves that travel away from the epicenter of an earthquake.• Remember, epicenter is the place on the
Earth’s surface directly above where the earthquake occurred.
Seismic waves are detected by an instrument called a seismograph, which our book calls a seismometer.
Energy shown on a seismogram. Studied by seismologist!
![Page 19: Continuation of plate tectonics- convection in the asthenosphere is still the driving force of moving lithospheric plates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062807/56649cf05503460f949bec88/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: Continuation of plate tectonics- convection in the asthenosphere is still the driving force of moving lithospheric plates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062807/56649cf05503460f949bec88/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Three types of seismic waves:
Primary waves (P waves) travel fastest• ~6 km/sec in the upper crust• Move particles back and forth in the
same direction• Cause little destruction
Secondary waves (S-waves) travel slower, cause more damage• ~3.5 km/sec in the upper crust• Move particles back and forth at a ninety
degree angle to wave motion Surface waves travel slowest, cause the
most damage• Move particles side-to-side and in a
swaying motion
Where does each wave type originate?
![Page 21: Continuation of plate tectonics- convection in the asthenosphere is still the driving force of moving lithospheric plates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062807/56649cf05503460f949bec88/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The difference in arrival time between p-waves and s-waves can be timed to determine how far away from the seismograph station the earthquake occurred.
With at least three stations reporting, we can pinpoint the earthquake’s location using TRIANGULATION (see next slide or page 312 for example).
![Page 22: Continuation of plate tectonics- convection in the asthenosphere is still the driving force of moving lithospheric plates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062807/56649cf05503460f949bec88/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

![Page 24: Continuation of plate tectonics- convection in the asthenosphere is still the driving force of moving lithospheric plates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062807/56649cf05503460f949bec88/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How far away is the epicenter of an earthquake if there is 5 minutes between wave arrival time?
If an earthquake occurs 4700 miles away from a seismograph station:• How long after the earthquake will the P-wave
arrive?• How long after the earthquake will the S-wave
arrive?• What will be the difference in arrival time?
![Page 25: Continuation of plate tectonics- convection in the asthenosphere is still the driving force of moving lithospheric plates](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062807/56649cf05503460f949bec88/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
In three steps, seismologists can find the epicenter of an earthquake.
• 1. Find the time difference between P&S wave arrival
• 2. Use the time difference to find the distance from the seismograph station to the epicenter Gives a radius around the city
• 3. Compare with minimum three locations to find epicenter
