15
Epicenter:Is the geographic location on the earth’s surface above the focus.
Love Waves:These types of waves move sideways but with no vertical movement.
Intensity:Is a measure of the effects of the earthquakes on the people and buildings.
Focus:Is the location on the fault where movement begins.
Earthquakes:Is the sudden trembling or shaking of the earth caused by the abrupt release of energy from the rocks.
Fault:Two faces of rock slipping past each other along an approximately flat internal.
Mercalli Scale:Use to measure the intensity of the earthquake.
Tephra:Are the particles of the sizes that are blasted into air by the volcanic eruption.
Caldera:Is formed when a composite volcano or shield volcano collapses into a shallow, empty magma chamber below the volcano.
Stratovolcano:Another term for composite volcano.
Geysers:Are formed from a violent eruption of underground water that is heated near the hot magma.
Composite Volcano:Are sided and cone-shaped volcanoes.
Volcano:Is a conical shaped hill or mountain formed from the accumulations of the lava and rock fragments emitted through a volcanic vent.
Lahar:Are mudflows formed when fine-grained tephra mix with the water forming streams.
Volcanism:Is the emission of material from deep in the Earth.
