Earthquakes
Types of Waves:
Primary Waves- Primary waves travel the fastet out of the three types of waves. P waves can pass through any liquid, solid, or gas. This type of wave causes a slight vibration that may only cause your blinds to rattle.
Secondary Waves- Secondary waves travel a bit slower than primary waves, these waves only pass through solids.
Surface Waves-Surface waves travel the slowest out of all the wavs, but they are the strongest. This wave is the one that causes all the damage, it breaks roads and buildings.

Left Side-Reverse Fault
Middle-Normal Fault
Right Side-Strike Slip Fault
Types of faults:
Normal Faults- When this type of fault occurs the rock above it moves downward so that one plate is slightly below the other. Normal faults usually are located at divergent boundaries.
Reverse Fault-At reverse faults the rock below is forced up and over the other rock. This type of fault occurs at convergent boundaries.
Transform Fault-The transform fault is also sometimes known as the side-strike slip. When two plates try to slide by one another. They then get stuck and the vibration causes an earthquake.
