NGSS.MS-PS4-2

These include a seismometer and a way to

record or graph the changing earthquake waves

• Histograph

• Seismograph

• Stratigraph

• Topograph

A seismographic recording collected by the seismograph is called

• Histogram

• Seismogram

• Stratogram

• Topogram

Seismograms tell these two things about an earth waves (choose two)

• Amplitude

• Probability of aftershocks

• Frequency

• Location

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

The height of the "zig zags" on a seismogram indicate the waves

• Amplitude

• Probability of aftershocks

• Frequency

• Location

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

The amount of the "zig zags" indicates what about the waves

• Amplitude

• Probability of aftershocks

• Frequency

• Location

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

Amplitude of seismic waves means ___________.

• the times they occured

• Location

• Strength

• Type

What are the two types of waves (choose two)

• Body waves

• Crest waves

• Surface waves

• Through waves

Of the body waves what are the two types of waves

• Love waves

• P waves

• Rayleigh waves

• S waves
