The document discusses earthquakes, including what they are, how they are measured, the types of damage they can cause, and the different waves generated. It also examines the 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan, its effects, and how GPS sensors recorded the movement associated with elastic rebound. Key details about tsunamis like formation, height, and speed are provided.

2. Basic Background Information What is an earthquake? a series of vibrations induced in the earth's crust by the abrupt rupture and rebound of rocks in which elastic strain has been slowly accumulating. How are earthquakes measured? The moment mangtitude scale . What is magnitude Magnitude is the total energy released. How is magnitude measured? Magnitude by using the semsic waves.

3. Damage Caused by Earthquakes Type one type of damage here.Landslides building collapse tsunamis Type one type of damage here. That tsunamis can happen after a earthquake high magnitudes. Type one type of damage here. It can collaspe bulidings. Type one type of damage here.

4. Waves What are earthquake waves called? When a sudden break or shift occurs in the earth's crust, the energy radiates out as seismic waves What two types of seismic waves are there? Body and surface waves. What two types of body waves are there?primary and secondary waves. here. .

5. Body Waves How do P waves travel?Travel 1 to 5 miles per second depending on what on material there have to move throught. How do S waves travel?They log little behind P-waves Which move faster?Primary move faster
