30s - Q2
What is the measure of the “size" or amplitude of the seismic waves generated by an earthquake source and recorded by seismographs (instrument that makes a record of seismic waves caused by an earthquake explosion or other Earth-shaking phenomenon)?
magnitude
focus
epicenter
intensity
30s - Q3
The vibration generated by an earthquake, explosion, or similar energetic source and propagated within the earth or along its surface is called what?
seismic wave
intensity
epicenter
focus
30s - Q4
Which of the following best describes the epicenter of an earthquake?
c. The point within the Earth where the fault rupture begins
a. The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus
b. The point on the Earth's surface directly below the focus.
d. The area where the ground shaking is most intense
30s - Q5
How does earthquake intensity differ from earthquake magnitude?
Magnitude measures the energy released while intensity measures the damage caused
Magnitude measures the depth of the focus while intensity measures the distance from the epicenter
Magnitude measures the ground shaking while intensity measures the duration of the earthquake
Magnitude measures the area affected while intensity measures the frequency of aftershocks
30s - Q6
What role does the focus of an earthquake play in determining its effects on the Earth's surface?
The shallower the focus the greater the potential for tsunamis.
The focus determines the direction of the seismic waves.
The deeper the focus the more severe the ground shaking.
The focus has no direct impact on the effects of the earthquake.
