Earthquakes

Convection currents in the ___________ cause the ____________ to move. Fill in the correct words in the order given.

• Magma - tectonic plates

• Core - Magma

• Tectonic plates - Magma

• Magma - Core

How do convergent plates move?

• They pull away from each other.

• They slide by each other.

• They move toward each other.

• It depends, sometimes they move close to each other, sometimes they move far apart.

What is the measure of the amount of ground shaking during an earthquake?

• Intensity

• Epicenter

• Magnitude

• Seismogram

How does the story of the 3 Little Pigs illustrate the difference between an earthquake's magnitude and its intensity?

• All the houses fall down in the story like every house falls down during an earthquake.

• The pig brothers were running fast to get away from the wolf so he couldn't eat them.

• The wolf's blowing shows the magnitude or strength of the earthquake and the type of damage each house received shows the intensity.

• Both terms mean that the houses will be damaged.

All of the following are reasons some buildings are damaged more than others during an earthquake EXCEPT....

• The strength of the building materials.

• How close the building was to the earthquake's epicenter.

• What type of soil the building sat on.

• The people living inside of the building.

• The design of the building.
