Earthquake: is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. That makes the plates shift and move making the earth shake and move the plates which create a distruction
Elastic Rebound: its a explanation for how energy is spread during earthquakes. its an explanation on how the earth deforms how the plates shifts.
Earthquake focus: is a point beneath earths surface and rocks stress and the plates shift and that is what causes an earthquake.
Epicenter: is a point on the earth surface vertically above the focus on an earthquake.
seismology: is the study of earthquakes and their phenomena
Seismography:is the measuring and recording of the shock and vibration of earthquakes.
Magnitude: its a great size or extent of something
earthquake intensity: the quality or condition of being intense.
Tsunami: a sea wave caused by an earthquake, submarine landslide, ext.
Seismic gap: its a section of a fault that has produced earthquakes in the past.
