3. a building mounted on bearings designed to absorb the energy of an earthquake
9. a scale that rates earthquakes according to their intensity and how much damage they cause
11. a type of seismic wave that moves the ground up and down or side to side
13. a type of seismic wave that compresses and expands the ground
14. a mountain that forms where a normal fault uplifts a block of rock
16. stress that pushes a mass of rock in opposite directions
17. a device the records the ground movements ground movements caused by seismic waves as they move through earth
20. a change in the volume or shape of earths crust
22. stress that stretches rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle
24. the point beneath earths surface where rock breaks under stress and causes an earthquake
25. stress that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks

1. a scale that rates seismic waves as measured by a particular type of mechanical seismograph
2. the process by which an earthquakes violent movement suddenly turns loose soil into liquid mud
4. the point on earths surface directly above an earthquakes focus
5. the measurement of an earthquakes strength based on seismic waves and movement along faults

15. a break in earths crust where slabs of rock slip past each other
18. a vibration that travels through earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake
19. an upward fold in rock formed by compression of earths crust
21. a bend in rock that forms where part of earths crust is compressed
23. a type of fault where the hanging wall slides downward; caused by tension in the crust
