fault- the surface where the two blocks slip.

epicenter- the point on earth's surface directly above the earthquake focus.

focus- where the earthquake begins.

transform boundary- the boundary where the plates slide against each other.

s wave- move through earth by causing particles in rocks to travel in the direction of a right angle.

p wave- causes particles in rocks to move in the same direction, back and forth.

after shock- a smaller earthquake that happens after the larger earthquake.

Richter scale- a scale that expresses the magnitude of an earthquake.

earthquakes are usually caused  when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little

an earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth slip past each one another.

earthquakes are also called temblors, thousands occur everyday all around the world,and creates seismic destruction.
