How are Richter Scales and Mercalli Intensity Scale connected?Both measure earthquakes
How are they not connected?Richter Scales measure magnitude and Mercalli Scales measure observable damage.

Moving rocks get caught on each other at faults.
Moving rocks create STRESS points The breaking point is reached Energy is released

Earthquakes1. What are earthquakes?
1. Earthquakes are movement of earth’s crust caused by plates shifting and releasing stored energy
Rocks on either side of a fault snag and build up pressure
When the rocks break ... shake, rattle and roll!

Earthquakes2. What are seismic waves?
2. Seismic waves are shock waves in the earth caused by an earthquake.

Earthquakes3. What are P waves? 3. P waves are primary
waves. They are fast and longitudinal
( push and pull forces) P waves are the to 'arrive' at
a seismic station. The P wave can move through solid rock and fluids, like water or the liquid layers of the earth. It pushes and pulls the rock it moves through just like sound waves push and pull the air.

Earthquakes4. What are S waves? 4. S waves are secondary
or shear waves. They are
slower. S waves are
transverse- move from
side to side.
S waves move rock
particles up and down,
or side-to-side—
perpendicular to the
Direction of the wave.http://aspire.cosmic-ray.org/labs/seismic/index.htm

Earthquakes5. What are L waves? 5. L waves are “love waves”
Named after a British scientist who calculated a mathematical model for a wave.
L Waves are the fastest waves and move from ground to side to side. In other words, they are P or S waves that hit the surface.

6. The focus is
where rocks first
break and move.
7. What is the epicenter? 7. The Epicenter is the point on earth’s surface directly above the focus.

Earthquake Scales10. What is the Mercalli Intensity Scale?
10. The Mercalli Intensity Scale is a scale that measures the intensity of an earthquake. The scale quantifies the effects of an earthquake on the Earth's surface, humans, objects of nature, and man-made structures on a scale of I through XII, with I denoting a weak earthquake and XII one that causes almost complete destruction.
