|---|---|
| PLATE | A LARGE SECTION OF EARTH'S CRUST AND RIGID UPPER MANTLE THAT MOVES AROUND ON THE ASTHENOSPHERE |
| FAULT | SURFACE ALONG WHICH ROCKS MOVE WHEN THEY PASS THEIR ELASTIC LIMIT AND BREAK |
| EARHTQUAKE | VIBRATIONS PRODUCED WHEN ROCKS BREAK ALONG A FAULT |

| FAULT | SURFACE ALONG WHICH ROCKS MOVE WHEN THEY PASS THEIR ELASTIC LIMIT AND BREAK |
| EARHTQUAKE | VIBRATIONS PRODUCED WHEN ROCKS BREAK ALONG A FAULT |
| STRIKE-SLIP FAULT | BREAK IN ROCK CAUSED BY SHEAR FORCES, WHER ROCKS MOVE PAST EACH OTHER WITHOUT MUCH VERTICAL MOVEMENT |
| REVERSE FAULT | BREAK IN ROCK CAUSED BY COMPRESSIVE FORCES, WHERE ROCK ABOVE THE FAULT SURFACE MOVES DOWN RELATIVE TO THE ROCK BELOW THE FAULT SURFACE |
| STRIKE-SLIP FAULT | BREAK IN ROCK CAUSED BY SHEAR FORCES, WHER ROCKS MOVE PAST EACH OTHER WITHOUT MUCH VERTICAL MOVEMENT |
| WAVE | RYTHMATIC MOVEMENT THAT CARRIES ENERGY THROUGH MATTER AND SPACE |
| FOCUS | IN AN EARTHQUAKE, THE POINT BELOW EARTH'S SURFACE WHERE ENERGY IS RELEASED IN THE FORM OF SEISMIC WAVES |
| FOCUS | IN AN EARTHQUAKE, THE POINT BELOW EARTH'S SURFACE WHERE ENERGY IS RELEASED IN THE FORM OF SEISMIC WAVES |
| SEISMIC WAVES | WAVE GENERATED BY AN EARTHQUAKE |
| PRIMARY WAVE | SEISMIC WAVE THAT MOVES ROCK PARTICLES BACK-AND-FORTH IN THE SAME DIRECTION THAT THE WAVE TRAVELS |
| FOCUS | IN AN EARTHQUAKE, THE POINT BELOW EARTH'S SURFACE WHERE ENERGY IS RELEASED IN THE FORM OF SEISMIC WAVES |
| SEISMOGRAPH | INSTRUMENT USED TO REGISTER EARTHQUAKE WAVES AND RECORD THE TIME THAT EACH ARRIVED |
| SURFACE WAVE | SEISMIC WAVE THAT MOVES ROCK PARTICLES UP-AND-DOWN IN A BACKWARD ROLLING MOTION AND SIDE-TO-SIDE IN A SWAYING MOTION |
| EPICENTER | POINT ON EARTH'S SURFACE DIRECTLY ABOVE AN EARTHQUAKE'S FOCUS |
| PRIMARY WAVE | SEISMIC WAVE THAT MOVES ROCK PARTICLES BACK-AND-FORTH IN THE SAME DIRECTION THAT THE WAVE TRAVELS |
| SEISMOGRAPH | INSTRUMENT USED TO REGISTER EARTHQUAKE WAVES AND RECORD THE TIME THAT EACH ARRIVED |
| SEISMOGRAPH | INSTRUMENT USED TO REGISTER EARTHQUAKE WAVES AND RECORD THE TIME THAT EACH ARRIVED |
| SECONDARY WAVE | SEISMIC WAVE THAT MOVES ROCK PARTICLES AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE DIRECTION OF THE WAVE |
| SURFACE WAVE | SEISMIC WAVE THAT MOVES ROCK PARTICLES UP-AND-DOWN IN A BACKWARD ROLLING MOTION AND SIDE-TO-SIDE IN A SWAYING MOTION |
| EPICENTER | POINT ON EARTH'S SURFACE DIRECTLY ABOVE AN EARTHQUAKE'S FOCUS |
| SEISMOGRAPH | INSTRUMENT USED TO REGISTER EARTHQUAKE WAVES AND RECORD THE TIME THAT EACH ARRIVED |
