Earthquake a sudden release of energy in Earth's crust and upper mantle. Usually caused by movement along a fault plane or by volcanic activity and resulting in the generation of seismic waves which can be destructive. Seismic waves an earth vibration generated by an earthquake or explosion Brainpower 0:01 / 0:15 P-Waves a longitudinal earthquake wave that travels through the interior of the earth and is usually the first wave to be recorded. S-Waves A shear wave th...

This presentation can be used to teach Grade 10 Earthquakes. The presentation includes videos with YouTube links, images and diagrams as well as discussions on the concepts. This presentation is made from the Focus on Geography textbook.

Volcanoes and Earthquakes (all possible short questions that can be asked in an exam) Explain a fault line pressure from plate movement causes the rock to fracture (break/tear) What's the focus? the point on the fault line where an earthquake starts - the depth of the focus has a direct impact to the damage it can cause Why are shallow focus earthquakes extremely dangerous? they're closely to the earth's surface - the energy released during an earthquake only needs a short distance to...

Introduction: An earthquake releases an enormous amount of energy, which passes through Earth’s interior in the form of body waves. There are two types of body waves: P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves). Scientists study earthquakes with the aid of an instrument called a seismograph. When seismic waves reach the seismograph, a graphical record, or seismogram, is produced. Question: How are P- and S-waves shown on a seismogram? Observe: Click Play, and then click Pause...
