Chapter 1-2

3. the strength of an earthquake is measured by
9. a low area of land normally between mountains with rivers
10. a stress that is put on a rock that squeezes together
11. A scale that measures the magnitude of an earthquake
14. most destructive wave
16. on the first point that breaks under stress
17. the shaking that is caused by the tectonic plates
18. a stress that is put on a rock that moves against each other side to side
20. A force that is put on a rock to change its shape

1. a type of fault where the hanging wall slides upward caused by compression
2. a large landform that has a high elevation
4. A written graph that records seismic waves
5. the point directly above the focus
6. a stress that is put on a rock that pulls it apart to make the middle thinner
7. the layer of the earth that is solid material between the crust and earth's core
8. a type of fault that slides against each other sideways
12. a break in earth's crust
13. a landform that is caused by compression to make a high peak
15. the attractive force the moves objects downhill
19. a type of fault where the hanging wall slides downward caused by tension
