Earthquake when the ground shakes suddenly and violently caused by movement in Earth’s crust or volcanic action; can cause a lot of destruction Fault a break in a body of rock; crack in earth’s crust because of displacement Focus where earthquake started Seismic Waves elastic wave in earth caused because of an earthquake Epicenter point on earth's surface above the focus point Elastic Rebound release of strain energy caused by movement of fault(earthquake) Aftershock small earthquake that comes after bigger one P Wave elastic wave, primary wave, type of seismic wave, produced by earthquakes, can travel through gases, solids, liquids S Wave elastic wave, secondary wave, type of seismic wave,move through body of an object Surface Wave seismic waves that are moving along the surface of earth Seismograph instrument used to measure and record details(force and duration) of earthquake Seismogram data produced by seismograph Moment Magnitude scale used to measure the amount of energy released by earthquakes Liquefaction change from solid or gas to a liquid Tsunami long high sea wave caused by an earthquake Seismic Gap section of fault that has made earthquakes in the past but hasn’t made one in a while Crust outermost layer of rock on earth Mantle region of earth's insides which contains hot dense rocks, between crust and the core, Lithosphere rigid outerpart of earth made up of the crust and upper mantle Asthenosphere upper layer of earth’s mantle, below lithosphere Outer core section of the core that is a liquid layer between 2,900 and 5,150 km deep below mantle about inner core Inner Core hottest part of core, central part of earth, contains nickel and iron in solid state Moho mohorovicic discontinuity, boundary between earth's crust and underlying mantle
