Earthquake-An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves.
Elastic rebound- An elastic rebound is when energy is being spread during an earthquake.
Focus- A focus is in the earth where the earthquake fault movement really took place.
Epicenter- Epicenter is the point on the earths surface that is directly above the focus.
seismology- seismology is the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth or through other planet-like bodies.
Seismograph- Seismometers are instruments that measure motions of the ground, including those of seismic waves generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other seismic sources.
magnitude- magnitude is a way to measure an earthquake
Intensity- it is to described the severity of an earthquake
Tsunami- a long high sea wave caused by an earthquake, submarine landslide, or other disturbance.
Seismic Gap- A seismic gap is a segment of an active fault known to produce significant earthquakes, that has not slipped in an unusually long time when compared with other segments along the same structure.
