Fill in the blank.
1. The area in a fault where stress builds up is called the _ zone.
2._ are breaks in the earth's crust.
3. Strain occurs as a result of __in the earth's crust.
4. _ _ is a universally experienced pressure on the earth's crust.
Respond to the following based on your reading.
5. How is the timing of seismic waves in an earthquake determined?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • Hypocentre zone
  • faults
  • Folding
  • Atmospheric pressure.

Explanation:

  • The stress is applied to rocks that cause it to change in its form and hypocentre is the position where the strain energy stored in the riks is released first. Making the point were the faults begin to rapture.
  • The fault zones are breaks in the crust of the earth and are caused by the tension and compression forces. It forms along the line of weakness.
  • Folds are result of the strain that occurs on the surface of the earth. The atmospheric pressure is a universal pressure system that is felt in all places.
  • The seismic waves of earthquakes are determined by the direction and distance of travel and are measured by seismograph.

Answer:

seismogenic

faults

stress

Lithostatic pressure

When seismic waves are generated in a fault, the timespan is directly related to how long it took all of the stress to leave that area of the earth’s crust.

This is a correct answer
