6.1 & 6.2 (Test Practice)

1.Epicenter

• above earthquakes starting point; where the earthquake is the strongest
• a break in a body of rock along which one block slides relative to another
• the location within Earth along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occur

2. Focus

• above earthquakes starting point; where the earthquake is the strongest
• a break in a body of rock along which one block slides relative to another
• the location within Earth along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occur

3. fault

• above earthquakes starting point; where the earthquake is the strongest
• a break in a body of rock along which one block slides relative to another
• the location within Earth along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occur

4. crust

• packet of energy produced by an earthquake
• a compositional layer of Earth, contains silica and oxygen
• consists of the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle, a structural layer of Earth
• lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core

• composed mostly of solid iron and nickel under extremely high pressure and temperature

6. Lithosphere

• a compositional layer of Earth, contains silica and oxygen
• consists of the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle
• lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core
• composed mostly of solid iron and nickel under extremely high pressure and temperature

• composed mostly of molten iron and nickel; a structural layer of Earth.

8. Outer Core

• a compositional layer of Earth, contains silica and oxygen
• consists of the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle, a structural layer of Earth
• lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core

9. Seismic Waves

• packet of energy produced by an earthquake
• a compositional layer of Earth, contains silica and oxygen
• consists of the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle, a structural layer of Earth
• the layer of Earth’s interior located between the inner core and the mantle, composed mostly of molten iron and nickel; a structural layer of Earth.
