Solution
-
The location where the rupture of an earthquake begins and energy is released is called the focus.
-
A sudden and violent shaking of the ground that sometimes causes great destruction due to movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action is called an earthquake.
-
The point on the earth's surface vertically above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter.
-
The method not included in finding out if a fault is active is "Scientist created a fault model."
-
The scale that measures the magnitude, or size, of an earthquake is the Richter Scale.
-
The scale that is based on observable earthquake damage is the Mercalli Scale.
-
We can't feel all of Earth's earthquakes because they happen deep inside the Earth.
-
What we should expect to happen immediately after an Earthquake is an aftershock.
-
Scientists find out the intensity and duration of Earthquakes through a Seismograph.
-
A wave generated by earthquake vibrations is called Seismic waves.
-
Earthquakes are common occurrence in Japan, Indonesia, and Philippines because these countries are found within the Pacific Ring of fire.
-
The measurement of the maximum motion recorded by a seismograph is called magnitude.
-
The strength of the shaking from an earthquake is called intensity.
-
The seismic scale used and developed by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology to measure the intensity of an earthquake is the PEIS.
-
Scientists who study earthquakes, their causes and effects are called seismologists.
-
The study of earthquakes is called seismology.
