The waves that cause the most destruction from earthquakes are called: P- Primary waves Surface Waves S Secondary Waves Compressional waves – A single seismograph can only measure: The focus of an earthquake The magnitude of an earthquake How far an earthquake waves The destruction an earthquake are felt across the county causes Strong earthquakes are more common at: Transform and divergent Divergent and convergent boundaries boundaries Transform and convergent Convergent and reverse boundaries boundaries Which of the following statements is true about hot spots? Hot spots begin in the Hot spots are responsible for lithosphere volcanic island chain arcs. Hot spots frequently move Hot spots are usually throughout the responsible for earthquake Earth’s asthenosphere activity Interpret the following picture Earthquakes occur along the plate ABOVE. Which of the following boundaries due to the plates statements is NOT true regarding this constantly shifting. map? The earthquakes shown are placed randomly and only occur in lines Earthquakes occur along the faults due to each volcano making the which run across the surface surrounding area weaker. Earth’s randomly. Earthquakes occur along the plate boundaries only during times of volcanic activity. Given the following seismogram: Determine the time difference between the P wave and S wave arrival:
