    1) Earthquakes occur due to a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that causes the ground to shake. There are four main types of earthquakes: tectonic, volcanic, collapse, and explosions. 2) Key parts of an earthquake include the fault, epicenter, focus, and seismic waves. The fault is the fracture in the ground, the epicenter is where it occurs at the surface, and the focus is where it originates below ground. Seismic waves transmit the energy, and aftershocks can follow. 3) There are three main types of plate boundaries: convergent where plates move together, divergent where they move apart, and

    Earthquake

    Concept note:#1

    Earthquake – the sudden vibration, violent movement of Earth’s surface caused by a rapid release of
    stored energy.

    Types of earthquake:

    1. Tectonic Earthquake – one that occurs when the earth’s crust breaks through the
    geological forces on rocks and adjoining plates.

    2. Volcanic earthquake – any earthquake that results from tectonic forces which
    occur in the conjunction with volcanic activity

    3. Collapse – small earthquake in underground caverns and mines that are caused by
    seismic waves produced from the explosion of rock on the surface

    4. Explosion – an earthquake that is the result of the detonation of a nuclear and/ or


    chemical device

    AU-EEC-SCIENCE
    Concept note:#1

    Parts of Earthquake:

    a. Fault – fracture or break in the ground

    b. Epicenter – the point at the surface of the earth directly above the
    focus

    c. Focus / hypocenter – the point within the earth where an earthquake


    rapture starts

    d. Seismic waves – waves that transmit the energy released by an


    earthquake

    Aftershock – earthquake that follows the largest shocks

    OBJECTIVE:
     Differentiate the different types of Plate Boundaries

    Types of Plate Boundaries

    1. Convergent plate boundary- plates that move towards each


    other.
    2. Divergent plate boundary- two plates move apart from each
    other.
    3. Transform plate boundary- two plates slide past each other
    moving in opposite direction.

    Concept Notes:#3

    • Fault – break in the ground caused by the


    movement of plates
    Parts of Fault

     Fault line - break or fracture in the ground 


     Foot wall - ore body
     Hanging wall - upper or overlying block along the fault plane 
    SAN ANDREAS FAULT
    Concept Notes:#4

    Normal Fault- A dip-slip fault in which the block


    above the fault has moved downward relative to
    the block below. This type of faulting occurs in
    response to extension.

    Reverse Fault A dip-slip fault in which the upper


    block, above the fault plane, moves up and over
    the lower block. This type of faulting is common in
    areas of compression, When the dip angle is
    shallow, a reverse fault is often described as a
    thrust fault.

    Strike-slip Fault- A fault on which the two blocks


    slide past one another. The San Andreas Fault is
    an example of a right lateral fault.
