This causes vibrations int he ground that result from movement along breaks in the Earth's lithosphere.

This is the location directly above the focus of an earthquake.

This is a break in Earth's lithosphere where one block of rock moves toward, away from, or past another.

This is the location where rocks first move along a fault and seismic waves originate.

The fastest moving type of seismic wave. It causes particles in the ground to move in a push-pull motion

This type of wave causes particles in the ground to move side to side and up and down at right angles relative to the direction the wave travels.

These travel as vibrations on and in Earth.

This is a graphical illustration of seismic waves.

A scientist who studies earthquakes.

This measures and records ground motion and the distance and direction seismic waves travel.

This type of wave causes particles in the ground to move up and down, similar to ocean waves.
