Geology 101, Fall 2007 Name: Assignment 5: Structural geology and solid Earth geophysics Due Monday, October 29 at noon Distinguish the following terms: stress (compression, tension, shearing) vs. strain plastic (ductile) deformation vs. brittle failure fold (anticline and syncline) vs. fault (reverse, normal and strike-slip) orogeny (fold-and-thrust, fault-block) vs. peneplain focus (hypocenter) vs. epicenter P-seismic wave vs. S-seismic wave Love waves vs. Rayleigh waves Richter magnitude scale vs. Modified Mercalli intensity scaledisplacement vs post-earthquake creep seiche vs. tsunami Mohorovicic discontinuity (Moho) vs. Benioff-Wadati zone Does the ground literally “turn to liquid” during liquefaction in an earthquake? What actually happens? Where did liquefaction occur during the February 28, 2001 Nisqually earthquake?
