DESCRIPTION
What is the Elastic Rebound Theory ?. Explains how energy is stored in rocks Rocks bend until the strength of the rock is exceeded Rupture occurs and the rocks quickly rebound to an undeformed shape Energy is released in waves that radiate outward from the fault. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

What is the Elastic Rebound Theory?
• Explains how energy is stored in rocks
– Rocks bend until the strength of the rock is exceeded
– Rupture occurs and the rocks quickly rebound to an undeformed shape
– Energy is released in waves that radiate outward from the fault

The Focus and Epicenter of an Earthquake
• The point within Earth where faulting begins is the focus, or hypocenter
• The point directly above the focus on the surface is the epicenter

Where Do Earthquakes Occur and How Often?~80% of all earthquakes occur in the circum-Pacific belt
– most of these result from convergent margin activity
– ~15% occur in the Mediterranean-Asiatic belt
– remaining 5% occur in the interiors of plates and on spreading ridge centers
– more than 150,000 quakes strong enough to be felt are recorded each year

How is an Earthquake’s Epicenter Located?
• Three seismograph stations are needed to locate the epicenter of an earthquake
• A circle where the radius equals the distance to the epicenter is drawn
• The intersection of the circles locates the epicenter

Why do earthquakes occur?
• Fractures, faults
• Energy released
and propagates in all directions as seismic waves causing

How Calderas Form

Plate-tectonic setting of volcanismExplosive (andesitic) volcanoes form at subduction zones.
![Page 17: What is the Elastic Rebound Theory ?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56812c3b550346895d90c29c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Plate-tectonic setting of volcanismAt spreading centers, low pressure triggersmantle melting—fluid basaltic magma rises.
![Page 18: What is the Elastic Rebound Theory ?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56812c3b550346895d90c29c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Plate-tectonic setting of volcanismWithin plates, rising plumes of hotter mantle feed
hot spots; varied volcanoes result (basaltic on Hawaii).
