Faults and Folds Flashcards
Shaking or trembling caused by the sudden release of energy
Earthquakes
Usually associated with faulting or breaking of rocks
Earthquakes
Continuing adjustment of position results in aftershocks
Earthquakes
The study of Earthquakes
Seismology
Scientists who study Earthquakes
Seismologists
Data recorded during Earthquakes
Seismogram
The instrument used to record data during Earthquakes
Seismograph
Caused by increased stress along faults
Earthquakes
Internal reaction of a material to pressure applied to it
Stress
Ratio of the deformation of a material
Strain
The change to the shape of a rock in response to stress
Deformation
The ability of a material to withstand deforming forces
Elasticity
The other term for Earthquakes
Seismic or Seismic Waves
The external condition of an object
Pressure
The Philippines is made of _
Transform boundaries
The 3 types of stress
Tensile, Shear, Compressive
IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF STRESS AND FAULT
Extension
Tensile, Normal
IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF STRESS AND FAULT
Shortening
Compressive, Reverse Fault
IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF STRESS AND FAULT
Opposite directions
Shear, Strike-Slip
Deforms like a piece of clay and does not cause Earthquakes
Plastic deformation
Returns to its original form when stress is removed
Elastic Deformation
Rock keeps stretching until it finally breaks where energy is released
Elastic Deformation
Occurs when more stress is applied to rock than what it can withstand
Elastic Rebound
Common cause of Earthquakes
Elastic Rebound
A break in the earth’s crust
Fault
It is where Earthquakes occur
Faults
The different plate boundaries
Transform, Convergent, Divergent
Places where a large number of faults are located
Earthquake Zones
Forms due to stress build-up
Faults
