Q4: Lesson 1 | Earthquake Hazards Flashcards
is a feeble shaking to violent trembling of the ground produced by the sudden displacement of rocks or rock materials below the earths surface
earthquake
generated by the sudden displacement along faults in the solid and rigid layer of the earth
tectonic eathquake
earthquakes induced by rising lava or magma beneath active volcanoes
volcanic earthquake
a body wave that is the fastest
p waves (primary)
push-pull movement wave
p waves (primary)
waves that can move through solid and fluid
p waves (primary)
body wave that is slower than p wave
s waves (secondary)
up and down, side to side movement wave
s waves (secondary)
waves that can only move through solids
s waves (secondary)
waves that travel outward
surface waves
it is the slowest type of wave
surface wave
wave that moves perpendicular
love wave
wave that moves parallel and perpendicular
rayleigh wave
disruptive up-down and sideways movement or motion experienced during an earthquake
ground shaking
displacement on the ground due to movement of fault
ground rupture
process that transform the behavior of a body of sediments from a solid to a liquid when subjected to extremely intense shaking
liquefaction
movement of rock, earth, or debris down a sloped section of land caused by extreme shaking of the ground
earthquake-induced landslide
aka seismic sea wave, is a series of waves n a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water
tsunami
