Document Summary

Earthquakes with magnitude 5 or greater are distributed in regions near the equator: describe the global distribution of earthquakes and how often quakes of various magnitudes occur, understand the different types of faulting at different plate boundaries, and which plate boundaries produce the largest quakes. 6 understa nd concepts of (1) stress causing strain and (2) plastic versus brittle deformation. 7 describe how the rupture propagates from the focus and why shaking and damage are not necessarily greatest at the epicenter. 8 describe the different types of seismic waves and how they move through the. Rock strain: understan d the basics of how buildings can be designed or. Wheels, ball bearings, shock absorbers, rubber supports retrofitted to better resist earthquakes (and reduce casualties: identify fault zones that could produce an earthquake damaging to. 15. plain what we can and cannot predict about large earthquak es dif.
