Types of faults Where Earthquakes occur? Plate tectonic context - Types of earthquake waves Body waves P-waves S-waves Surface waves Rayleigh waves Love waves Today’s Lecture - Introduction to earthquakes Where Earthquakes occur? Plate tectonic context - Types of earthquake waves Body waves P-waves S-waves Surface waves Rayleigh waves Love waves Definitions Fault - Fracture in the Earth where slip occurs Earthquake - Energy released by slip along a fault Earthquake focus - Location of initial break What is an earthquake? Elastic rebound theory - Describes the origin of earthquakes - Blocks of rock try to move in opposing directions along a fault - Friction prevents slippage and stress builds - Stress is stored in rocks as elastic energy - When strength of rock exceeded, rock ruptures and slips, releasing the stored elastic energy Build up of stress Elastic deformation Strength of rock exceeded Rock ruptures with slip along fault Elastic energy released Fig 10.01 W W Norton Under elastic strain, when stress is released, deformed objects assume their original shape Fig 10.08 W W Norton Fig 10.12 W W Norton Earthquake! p.276-277b Original artwork by Gary Hincks Elastic energy released travels as a series of spherical waves through the Earth radiating away from the break (focus) Fig 10.37 W W Norton Fig 10.11 W W Norton More definitions: Fault plane: Surface of slippage Earthquake focus: Point of initial breakage Epicenter: Site at surface immediately above focus W W Norton Types of Faults Faults With Vertical Slip Normal faults: Block above fault plane has dropped “down” Fault scarp: cliff produced by vertical slip on fault Vertical Slip = Normal Faults Up Down Lateral (Strike) Slip Faults Turkey Aug 1999 M 7.4 Fig 10.05 Fig 10.06g Photo courtesy of Paul “Kip” OtisDiehl, USMC, 29 Palms, CA Fig 10.06g Photo courtesy of Paul “Kip” OtisDiehl, USMC, 29 Palms, CA Most earthquakes occur along the margins of tectonic plates Fig 10.22 W W Norton [...]...
