4. 1. Body Wave
Travel inside the Earth and carry energy.
P wave (moves parallel to wave direction)
•Travels through air, liquid, and solid
S wave (moves perpendicular to wave
direction)
•Move only through solids
SEISMIC WAVE
5. SEISMIC WAVE
2. Surface waves
•Radiate from the epicenter
along the Earth’s surface
–Travel more slowly than
body waves
–Two occur simultaneously:
up-and-down rolling motion
and a side-to-side vibration
6. •Seismograph: a device that records
seismic waves
–Pen remains still as paper (and
ground) moves up and down
•Seismogram: the record of the
Earth’s vibration
Measurement of Seismic Waves

8. Mercalli Scale- measures the
structural damage the earthquake
causes
Richter Scale- measures the energy
released from the earthquake
