2. <------- ------->: Tensional stress
3 --------- >
<--------: Shear stress
4. Deform = bend or break rocks: What do stresses cause rocks to do?
5. Break within rocks: Fault
6. Bend in rocks: Fold
7. -Syncline and anticline
-ridges and long mountains: Types of folds and where can you find them?
8. U shape: Syncline
9. sad face shape: Anticline
10. 1) dip slip faults
2) strike-slip faults
3) oblique-slip faults: 3 kinds of rock faults
11. Vertical: Dip-slip faults
12. Horizontal: Strike-slip faults
13. Both vertical and horizontal: Oblique-slip faults
14. Movement along a fault releases energy and produces an earthquake: -
Earthquake formation

26. Primary and pressure: P-waves
27. Secondary and shear: S-waves
28. Device which measures Earthquake waves: Seismometer
29. Readout of Earthquake's data: Seismogram
30. Magnitude and intensity: Measuring earthquakes
31. How much energy is released
Richter 1-10 scale no longer used: Magnitude
