Seismogram -- It is a record made by the seismograph.

Vibration of earth due to rapid release of energy.

Point on the Earth's surface located directly above the focus of an earthquake.

The location where the earthquake begins.

He mathematically predicted the Rayleigh waves.

Other term for P waves.

Waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth.

A device used to record earthquake waves.

First kind of surface waves. It is the fastest surface wave and moves the ground from
side to side.

First kind of body waves. It can move through solid rocks and fluids.

Second type of body waves. It is slower than a P wave and can only move through solid
rock.

Other term for S wave.

The most benign effect of an earthquake that is characterized by the slashing back and
forth of the whole body of water.

Process of locating of the epicenter of the earthquake using the distance information of
three seismic stations.

Process of determining the epicenter, distance and time difference using a time and
distance graph.

process of transferring heat by having a direct attachment or contact with another

object.

the proposed single large land mass which split apart and had moved gradually to their
present position.

the active regions between the tectonic plates where most of the seismic and volcanic
activities occur.

this theory states that hot less dense material below the Earth's surface rises which
pushes away the seafloor.
process where in the denser plates dives under the less dense plates

the thickest portion of the earth and mostly made up of rocky layers.

type of rock which came from the solidification of molten magma.

Plate movement which is also known as the constructive plate margins.

produce when two oceanic plate move in a convergent way.

proponent of the continental drift theory

the type of plate movement which always causes insignificant earthquake

type of rock that is subjected to tremendous heat, great pressure and chemical
reactions

theory which states that continents were once joined together in a single large land
mass known as Pangea.

The theory which suggests that hot, less dense material below Earth's crust rises
toward the surface at the mid -ocean ridges.

greek word of asthenes from asthenosphere

is the hotter upper mantle below the lithospheric plate, is a viscoelastic solid.

introduced continental drift theory

scottish naturalist, whom realized the slow processes such as erosion could affect the
Earth more than occasional catastrophic events.

Southern portion of Pangaea

Northern portion of Pangaea

are rocks that are exposed at the surface of the earth that are ultimately affected by
weathering. These rocks are made by sediments.

Metamorphic rocks-a rock that is subjected to tremendous heat, great pressure and
chemical reactions or some combination of the three

Rock and soil-Factors that are affecting Plate Tectonics

Crust-is the thin outer shell of earth composed of brittle but solid rock materials, this is
where the continents and the oceans are located.
Continental crust-a crust that has an average of 40 km and thicker in the mountain
areas.

Oceanic crust-crust that is found near the ocean and seas. It is around 10 km in depth
at the thinnest region.

Core- where most Earth's densest materials settle

The Inner core and the Outer core--two types of Cores

Outer core - type of core that is 2700 km thick

Inner Core -- type of core that has a radius of 1216 km
Leyden jar-was the original capacitor, a device that stores and releases an electrical
charge.
William Gilbert--the history of electricity began with him. He is a physician who served
Queen Elizabeth, he had years of researchs and experiments on electricity and
magnetism.

Otto von Guericke-proved that a vacuum could exist. He also invented a machine that
produced static electricity.

couloumb's law-states that the force of attraction or repulsion between two small
charged bodies is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Current -- movement of charged particles in a specific direction

Direct Current (DC)--type of current which is a constant current and has one direction
only.

Alternating curent (AC)--type of current that periodically changes direction

Work over charge - formula for voltage

Q- symbol of charge

Voltage- electric pressure that causes the currents to flow

Resistance - opposition a material offers to current.

Ohm's law- current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to
resistance
