Volcanic & earthquake movements

• Earthquake - sudden movement of earth's crust
• Seismometer - to measure an earthquake
• Magnitude - Quantitative measure of it's strength in terms of energy released
• intensity - a strenth of earthquake that a person felt
• the point within earth where rock under stress breaks is called focus
• the point directly above the focus on the surface is the epicenter
• tectonic - earthquake produced by movement along fault and plate boundaries
• strongest earthquke is the "Big One'
• volcano tectonic - earthquake caused by the movement of magma beneath the surface of the surface
• Core - made up of lava (inner core)
• Mantle - solid but can flow slowly, contains iron and nickel
• Crust - outer layer of Earth, thinnest at mid-ocean ridges and thickest at continental cratons
• Crystal plates are the outer shell of the earth
• The surface along which the crust moves is called fault
