Q

is a natural body composed of a mixture of organic and inorganic materials that is formed from the disintegration

20
Q

biggest rock particles

21
Q

particles of rock smaller than those of sand

22
Q

smallest rock particles

23
Q

mixture of all types of rock particles and humus

24
Q

is the remains of living material and becomes a part of the soil which makes it very feritle

25
soil is composed of
oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen
26
the decline in soil quality which comes due to aspects such as improper land use agriculture, and pasture urban or industrial purposes
soil degradation
27
cause the loss of plant cover making the soil susceptible to erosion
overgrazing
28
plastic bottles when they breakdown they release Diethylhydroxylamine(DEHA) a carcinogen that affects our reproduction system causes liver dysfunction and weight loss
soil contamination
29
a deep focus with depth of disturbance around 300km to 800km
plutonic earthquake
30
are produced by sudden movement along faults and plate boundaries
tectonic earthquakes
31
the study of earthquakes and seismic waves that move through and around the earth
seismology
32
are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion
seismic waves
33
traveling through the interior of the earth, arrive before the surface waves emitted by an earthquake
body waves
34
the first kind of body wave is the
P waves or primary wave
35
the second type of body wave is the
S waves or secondary waves
36
travelling only through the crust, surface waves are a lower frequency than body waves
surface waves
37
types of fault
normal fault reverse fault strike slip oblique fault
38
where the crust is being pulled apart, occurs in which the overlying block moves down with respect to the lower block
normal fault
39
where the crust is being compressed, occurs in which the hanging wall block moves up and over the footwall block
reverse fault
40
crustal blocks may also move sideways past each other usually along nearly vertical faults
strike slip
41
involves various combinations of these basic movements which include both reverse and dextral movement
oblique fault
42
is an application capable to do proximity searches to active faults
philvolcs fault finder
43
signs of impending earthquakes
animal behavior change in atmospheric conditions electromagnetic disturbances boom sound
44
earthquake hazards
ground shaking tsunami landslides and rock falls ground displacement liquefaction fire sinkholes
