Study Guide
1. Know how to spell all vocab words
2. explain the relationship between the earthquakes focus and epicenter the closer to you are to the epicenter, the stronger the effects are
A: the epicenter is right above the focus
3.explain the relationship between plate boundaries and earthquake locations.
A: Earthquakes are a result of plate tectonics. Hint pacific ocean
4.Divergent: pull apart, tension, reverse faults
Convergent: push together, compression, reverse faults, strong earthquakes
Transformant: slide horizontally strike-slip faults, shear stress
5. What is the relationship between an earthquake and a tsunami
A: Tsunamis occur from earthquakes that happen under the ocean floor

Danger to people and structures
The seismic waves are released from the epicenter of the earthquake with the strongest being at the epicenter and the waves are weaker the further from the epicenter. Structures will move and may not be able to withstand the movement and collapse. Most injuries occur from these. Other factors are fires, gas leaks, floods, polluted water.
Tsunami
A tsunami occurs when there is an earthquake under the ocean.This causes a lot of water to be displaced creating extremely long waves that can across the ocean at speed of 800 km/hr. The waves travel outward like the seismic waves from a land earthquake. Waves increase as they reach the shore and can be as high as 30m. They can smash and destroy anything in their path and many living things are lost from drowning

At these boundaries, plates slide past each other horizontally. Stress at these boundaries is caused by pushing different parts of the body in opposite directions (shear stress) As the rock move on both sides of the fault they get broken as they grind past one another. strike-slip faults are common at these boundaries. They are also shallow like divergent

# data[].attributes.body
Two plates collide causing rock to be squeezed. This stress is called compression. These faults are called reverse faults. Rock are thrust over one another. Two things can happen at reverse faults. First the plates may crumble up to form mountains. Second one plate can sub duct or sink underneath the other into the mantle. Earthquakes on or near these faults are deep and tend to be very strong.

The plates move away from each other. Stress from the stretching makes the rock thinner. The tension creates faults. because the crust is thin near these boundaries , earthquakes tend to be shallow. A mid-ocean ridge is an example of a divergent boundaries where earthquakes occur.

# data[].attributes.body
Most earthquakes happen at or near tectonic plate boundaries. On a map ,they are concentrated along the edges of the Pacific Ocean where many volcanoes are also located . Earth's crust experiences a lot of stress because the plates are coliding seprating or grinding past each other. The movement and interactions of the plates cause the crust to break into different types of faults

# data[].attributes.body
When there is movement of tectonic plates along a fault,rocks along the underground fault suddenly move and release energy, the movement causes vibrations (seismic waves) to race rapidity outward in all directions from the focus. The point at ground level directly above the focus is called the epicenter.

# data[].attributes.body
When a break line (the fault) between two blocks of rock suddenly moves, the movement causes vibrations (seismic waves) to race rapidly outward in all directions from the focus. The point at ground level directly above the focus is called the epicenter.

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to describe the causes of earthquakes and to identify where earthquakes happen.
