Feeling characterized by or expressing strong displeasure at something that considered unjust or offensive.. definition. People are indignation about the rules that they have to follow, they think it is not fair for them.. Locating Earthquakes. How do seismologists know when and where earthquakes begin? . They depend on earthquake-sensing instruments called seismographs. . Seismographs. are instruments located at or near the surface of the Earth that record seismic waves. . Hazards are produced from the response of energy released. Amount and duration are related to the amount of energy released. Which hazards do you know?. Earthquake Hazards. Tsunami: displacement of a large volume of water. Essential . Questions. What are earthquake magnitude and intensity and how are they measured?. Why are data from at least three seismic stations needed to locate an earthquake’s epicenter?. Where are Earth’s seismic belts?. Magnitude and Intensity: M. w. 6.0 & 5.8; MMI VI-VII.

Amplitude = Height of wave. Richter Scale = . numerical rating system used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake. . What Is an Earthquake?. An . earthquake. is the vibration of Earth produced by the rapid release of energy. Energy released radiates in all directions from its source, the . focus. . Energy is in the form of waves. Example 1. : .
