28.3 Earthquakes As tectonic plates move, friction
causes rock at plate boundaries to stretch or compress, this causes rocks to store energy.
When the rocks break, change shape, or decrease in volume, the stored energy is suddenly converted to kinetic energy and an earthquake occurs.

28.3 Earthquakes A seismograph measures
earthquakes, and seismologists use seismic waves to study Earth’s internal structure.
This is similar to how a doctor uses X rays to look at bone structure.

28.3 Earthquakes The majority of
earthquakes occur at the plate boundaries.
Earthquakes also occur at a fault.
Fault - a place crack in rocks along which movement occurs.

Earthquake TermsEpicenter –
point on earth’s surface where the EQ waves touch surface first.
![Page 7: Unit 10, Chapter 28](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681359b550346895d9d0f2e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Focus – point inside crust where the EQ movement first occurred.
Northridge, California in January
1994.

Seismic waves – common name given to all EQ waves.

Worldwide EarthquakesNotice- most earthquakes occur on plate boundaries.

2 Categories ofSeismic Waves
Body & Surface
![Page 11: Unit 10, Chapter 28](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681359b550346895d9d0f2e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
P waves Short for Primary waves
Fastest and First body wave recorded by a seismograph
Travel through solids and liquids (generate
sound)
Faster through more rigid material
They are Compression waves— Cause rock particles to move
together and apart along the direction of the waves
![Page 12: Unit 10, Chapter 28](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681359b550346895d9d0f2e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
P-Wave movement
![Page 13: Unit 10, Chapter 28](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681359b550346895d9d0f2e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
S waves short for Secondary WavesSecond body wave recorded by a seismograph
Only travel through solids
Can’t be detected on the side of the earth opposite the earthquake’s epicenter.
They are Shear waves— Cause rock particles to move up &
down or side to side (right angle) to the direction in which the waves are traveling
![Page 14: Unit 10, Chapter 28](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681359b550346895d9d0f2e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
S-Wave movement
![Page 15: Unit 10, Chapter 28](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681359b550346895d9d0f2e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Surface WavesSlowest moving wave & last to be recorded by seismograph
Travel similar to ocean waves
Cause the surface to rise, fall, turn and twist
Very destructive: especially in loose earth
![Page 16: Unit 10, Chapter 28](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681359b550346895d9d0f2e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2 Types of Surface wavesLove Waves
Fastest kind of surface wave is called a Love wave , (named for A.E.H. Love, a British mathematician)
Love worked out the mathematical model for this kind of wave in 1911.
It moves the ground from side-to-side.
![Page 17: Unit 10, Chapter 28](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681359b550346895d9d0f2e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
2 Types of Surface wavesRayleigh Waves
Slower kind of surface wave (named for John William Strutt, Lord of Rayleigh
Rayleigh predicted mathematically the existence of this kind of wave in 1885.
It moves the ground up & down and side-to-side rolling the ground like waves on water.
Most of the shaking felt from an earthquake is due to the Rayleigh wave, which can be much larger than the other waves

28.3 Earthquakes in the U.S.The west coast of U.S.
experiences most earthquakes because of the San Andreas fault a boundary between Pacific and North American Plate, and the 10,000 + smaller faults.
The Midwest and Eastern U.S. does experience EQ but they are more rare.
![Page 20: Unit 10, Chapter 28](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681359b550346895d9d0f2e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
28.3 Earthquakes in the U.S. Minor earthquakes release
stored energy in small, less destructive amounts.
Rocks in areas that do not experience frequent small earthquakes may have a lot of stored potential energy.
When this potential energy is finally converted to kinetic energy, the earthquake could be big.

28.3 Earthquake SafetyGet outside to an open area (if possible), far
from buildings and objects that could fall. Sit down to avoid falling.
If you are inside: Drop, cover, and hold.

28.3 Preparing for Earthquakes A huge wave generated by an underwater earthquake or
landslide is called a tsunami. The speed at which this wave travels can be about 700
kilometers per hour. (435MPH)
