19.1 Forces within
OBJECTIVES
Define stress and strain as they apply
to rocks.
Distinguish among the three different
fault types.
Contrast three types of seismic waves.

Earth’s rigid outer shell where the vast
majority of earthquakes take place is the
lithosphere.

Remember what happens with increasing depth?
Ductile Deformation
Most rocks that
exist in Earth’s
crust are brittle
but become
ductile at great
depths where
temperatures are
higher.

Forces per unit area acting on a
material are stress.
Stress & Strain
Deformation
of materials
in response
to stress is
strain.

Fracture in rock along which
movement occurs is called a fault.
Faults
The surface along which fault
movement takes places is the fault
plane.

Along a normal fault
movement is both
horizontal and
vertical, resulting
in a lengthening of
the crust involved.

horizontal compression and results in a
shortening of the crust involved.

In a strike-slip fault the fracture is caused by horizontal
shear and movement is mainly horizontal.
Faults – Strike-slip

The San Andreas Fault, a result of horizontal shear, is a
strike-slip fault.

19.2 Seismic Waves and
Earth’s Interior
OBJECTIVES
Describe how a seismometer works
Explain how seismic waves have been used
to determine the structure and
composition of the Earth’s interior.
![Page 13: Shake, Rattle & Roll · 2016-03-31 · majority of earthquakes take place is the lithosphere. Lithosphere . 1 kBar = 986.92 atm atm ... Faults The surface along which fault movement](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042808/5f894a5b16df243119534b42/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Seismometer
How a seismometer works? A seismometer
is designed so
that its frame
vibrates with
the movement
of the ground.
![Page 14: Shake, Rattle & Roll · 2016-03-31 · majority of earthquakes take place is the lithosphere. Lithosphere . 1 kBar = 986.92 atm atm ... Faults The surface along which fault movement](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042808/5f894a5b16df243119534b42/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Seismometer
(continued)
On a seismometer,
the suspended
mass tends to
stay at rest
during an
earthquake
because of
inertia.

Seismometer

On a seismometer,
vibrations of the
ground do not
move the
suspended mass .

P-waves travel phastest so they arrive PHirst at seismic stations
Seismic Waves (P)
• Squeeze and pull
rocks in same direction
as the wave travels
• are refracted by
Earth’s core
• are refracted, or bent,
by Earth’s outer core.
• Absence of this kind
of waves results in a
shadow zone

Secondary waves(S-waves) cause rocks to move
at right angle in relation to the direction
the waves are traveling
S-waves arrive second at seismic stations
Seismic Waves (S)
S-wave do not
pass through
Earth’s liquid
outer core.

move in two directions are surface wave

P vs. S Waves
P - waves
A primary wave is a seismic wave
that squeezes and pulls rock in
the same direction along which
the wave travels.
S- waves
A secondary wave causes rock to
move at right angles to the
direction along which the wave
travels.
Both are seismic waves generated as a
result of an earthquake.

determined that
the lithosphere,
which includes
the crust and
top of the upper
mantle, is
primarily
igneous in
composition.

19.3 Measuring and
Locating Earthquakes
OBJECTIVES
Compare and contrast earthquake
magnitude and intensity and the
scales used to measure each.
Explain why data from at least three
seismic stations are needed to
locate an earthquake’s epicenter.
Describe the Earth’s seismic belts.

Epicenter & Focus
Both are related to the location of an
earthquake.
Focus is the
point where the
earthquake
originates.
Epicenter is
the point
on the
Earth’s
surface
directly
above the
focus.

Triangulation
If three seismic stations receive data from an earthquake, the
quake’s location can be computed if P-waves, S-waves, and
surface waves have been received.

A numerical scale of earthquake magnitude that
takes into account the size of the fault
rupture is the moment magnitude scale.

Modified Mercalli Scale
The Modified Mercalli scale rates
earthquake intensity.
The amount of damage done to structures as a
result of an earthquake is the earthquake’s
intensity.

Seismic Belts
The locations of seismic belts are determined by
plotting earthquake epicenters.
The majority of the world’s earthquake occur in
relatively narrow seismic belts that separate large
areas with little or no seismic activity.

History The fact that a significant earthquake has
not occurred within a seismic gap indicates that an
earthquake is more likely to occur in the near future.

Strain accumulation and the amount of strain
