  1. Earthquakes:Faults and Waves Sarah Bennek Grade 9

  2. Objectives • To be able to describe what happens to the earth at normal, reverse and strike slip faults. • To be able to compare and contrast P-waves, S-waves, R-waves, and L-waves.

  3. Location of Earthquakes • Earthquakes happen along faults • Along plate boundaries Picture: “Earthquake Epicenters and Plate Boundaries.” Map. 10 Oct. 2007. <www.geo.wvu.edu/~wilson/Geol1/lec39/lec399.htm>.

  4. Normal Fault • Hanging wall (above slope) moves down slope • Crust stretches Picture: “Earthquakes.” Weather Wiz Kids. 10 Oct. 2007. <www.weatherwizkids.com/earthquake1.htm>.

  5. Reverse Fault • Hanging Wall moves upslope • Crust compresses Picture: “Earthquakes.” Weather Wiz Kids. 10 Oct. 2007. <www.weatherwizkids.com/earthquake1.htm>.

  6. Strike Slip Fault • No movement up or down • Slide past each other laterally Picture: “Earthquakes.” Weather Wiz Kids. 10 Oct. 2007. <www.weatherwizkids.com/earthquake1.htm>.

  7. What Type of Fault? Picture: “Week 9: Earth’s Structure and Earth’s Interior.” 10 Oct. 2007. <www.indiana.edu/~g103/G103/week9/wk9.html>.

  8. Seismic Waves • The way the energy from the earthquake travels • Body Waves • Surface Waves • Compressional Waves • Shear Waves

  9. Compressional or Shear Waves? Picture: “Earthquakes: Seismic Waves.” 10 Oct. 2007. <www.cdli.ca/CITE/earth_waves.htm >. Picture: “Page 2: Wave Motion.” 10 Oct. 2007. <ffden-2.phys.uaf.edu/.../page2.htm>.
