a type of surface wave having a horizontal motion that is shear or transverse to the direction of propagation, that travel near the surface of solids.

when two plates rub against each other as they move in opposite direction.

These faults are still moving and can cause earthquakes in the future, What is it?

Is the type of stress that causes the rocks to push or squeeze against one another.

it is the shaking and trembling of the Earth’s surface caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust.

A point of the surface of the earthquake which is directly above of the focus of an earthquake and where the earthquake vibration reach first.

a type of surface wave producing both a vertical and horizontal component of motion in the direction of wave propagation, that travel near the surface of solids.

These faults haven’t moved in a long time and are less likely to cause earthquakes.

Occurs when rocks are pulled apart and one lock moves down relative to the other.

it is an instrument that responds to ground displacement and shaking such as caused by quakes, volcanic eruptions, and explosions.

the origin or the center of the earthquake and is located underground.

Is the two separate plates can move farther away from each other, or the end of one plate can move in different directions.
