Which statements describe the Richter scale? Check all that apply.

How are S waves and P waves similar? Check all that apply. They shake the ground. They travel through solids. They arrive at the same time. They turn into surface waves. They vibrate from side to side.

not b

Which statements describe surface waves? Check all that apply. They arrive before S waves. They travel slower than P waves. They result in much ground motion. They are produced by P and S waves. They travel deep below Earth's surface.

not bc

Which statements describe S waves? Check all that apply. They move side to side. They arrive after P waves. They travel through solids. They travel through liquids. They occur at Earth's surface.

a b c

Which factors are involved in earthquake formation? Check all that apply. plates moving rocks breaking stress that decreases faults that remain stationary movement below the surface

a b e

Which statements describe P waves? Check all that apply. They travel through solids. They travel through liquids. They vibrate from side to side. They move slower than S waves. They are also called primary waves.

a b e

Which statements describe the Richter scale? Check all that apply. It gauges fault movement during an earthquake. It measures large earthquakes far from the seismograph. It estimates the total energy released from an earthquake. It increases in magnitude as amount of damage increases. It determines an earthquake's magnitude based on the size of its seismic waves.

ade

Which statements describe a seismograph? Check all that apply. It has a curved graphing surface. It is used to locate an earthquake's epicenter. It uses a needle on graph paper to measure seismic wave activity. It determines the arrival time of P waves. It measures data used to find the difference between the arrival times of surface waves.

b c d not

Which statements describe the focus of an earthquake? Check all that apply. It creates stress in rock. It develops in the lithosphere. It is the starting point of an earthquake. It lies above the surface where rock breaks. It begins about 100 kilometers below Earth's surface.

b c e

What happens when stress builds at faults? Check all that apply. Energy may be released. Rock can bend and break. Plates form on the lithosphere. Earthquakes develop at Earth's surface. Forces affect Earth's rocks.

b d e not
