Anatomy of an
Earthquake?

Answer 1

Focus/Hypocenter

Fault Plane

Fault Scarp

Fault Line

Epicenter

Question 2

the
point inside the
Earth’s crust
where an
earthquake
originates.

Answer 2

Focus

Question 3

the breaking
surface
underground,
where the
movement
takes place.

Answer 3

Fault Plane -

Question 4

fault
plane
exposed
above the
ground.

Answer 4

Fault
Scarp-

Question 5

any
edge of the fault
plane that shows
how much
movement has
taken place.

Answer 5

Fault line

Question 6

the point on
earth’s surface
vertically
above the
focus of an
earthquake.

Answer 6

Epicenter -

Question 7

Magnitude

Answer 7

Richter Scale

Question 8

Intensity -

Answer 8

Modified
Mercalli Intensity.

Question 9

IMPORTANCE
OF THE
ATMOSPHER
E

Answer 9

SUSTAIN LIFE

KEEPS US WARM

HABITAT FOR
SOME LIVING
ORGANISMS

Question 10

I am so thin, generally part of the
outer space International Space Station
and many satellites orbit within me.

Answer 10

THERMOSPHERE

Question 11

I am the lowest in the layers of the
atmosphere that provides most of
your weather.

Answer 11

TROPOSPHERE

Question 12

3). I am the outermost layer
composed of hydrogen and
helium due to a very thin region
with low density atoms and
molecules that escape into space.

Answer 12

EXOSPHERE

Question 13

I am the topmost part of Earth’s
atmosphere with a very high
temperature due to high energy
ultraviolet and X-ray radiation from
the sun but I cannot burn your skin.

Answer 13

THERMOSPHERE

Question 14

I am the coldest region in the
atmosphere extending to about 90
km above Earth. Meteors
generally burn up in my layer
that’s why Earth’s surface is not
cratered like the moon’s.

Answer 14

MESOSPHERE

Question 15

I am 50 km above Earth with
very little water vapor. No
weather exists so aircrafts can
fly.

Answer 15

STRATOSPHERE

Question 16

I am closer to the sun and
absorbs large amount of solar
radiation. Aurora Borealis and
Aurora Australis are found in
me. What am I?

Answer 16

THERMOSPHERE

Question 17

A fast-moving river of air
called the jet stream is found
in this layer.

Answer 17

TROPOSPHERE

Question 18

Temperature varies from
very hot to very cold. Artificial
satellite is perfect in this layer
because of little friction.

Answer 18

EXOSPHERE

Question 19

Ionosphere (ion rich
region) is found in this layer.
What am I?

Answer 19

THERMOSPHER
E
