III. Identification
__________1. S waves can only move through solid rock, not through any liquid medium. It is this property of
S waves that led seismologists to conclude that the Earth's ________ is a liquid.
__________2. based upon the seismic moment, and represents a kind of bridge between the seismological
and geological views of an earthquake.
__________3. It is based on the amount of displacement that occurred along a fault zone rather than the
measurement of ground motion at a given point.
__________4. An instrument that measures seismic waves caused by an earthquake. Generally, it consists of
a mass attached to a fixed base.
__________5. are relatively smaller earthquakes that precede the largest earthquake in a series.
IV. True or False
__________6. Body waves are of higher frequency than surface waves.
__________7. Love wave is the fastest body wave and moves the ground from side-to-side.
__________8. Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the
earth or an explosion.
__________9. Earthquake swarms are the energy that travels through the earth and is recorded on
seismographs.
__________10. Richter Magnitude Scale is a mathematical formula used to measure the magnitude of an
earthquake
__________11. The seismograph is invented by a Chinese inventor named Zhang Heng.
__________12. Body waves arrive after the surface waves emitted by an earthquake.
__________13. A P wave is faster than an S wave
__________14. Rayleigh wave moves the ground up and down, and side-to-side in the same direction that
the wave is moving.
__________15. Seismometer is an instrument that measure motions of the ground, including those of
seismic waves generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other seismic sources
