Question

The hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall in
      a reverse fault.
       a thrustfault.
       a normalfault.
       all fault.


When rock fractures, the sudden movement produces vibrations thatare called
       seismicwaves.
       surfacewaves.
       S waves.
       P waves.


Which comparison below is valid?
       A Richter magnitude 4.0earthquake produces twice the ground movement as a 2.0earthquake.
       An earthquake of Richtermagnitude 5.0 produces about 100 times the ground movement of a 3.0earthquake.
       An earthquake of Richtermagnitude 6.0 releases about ten times the energy of a magnitude5.0 earthquake.
       An earthquake of Richtermagnitude 6.0 releases three times the energy of a magnitude 2.0earthquake.


The most important of all erosional agents is
       runningwater.
       glaciers.
       wind.
       oceans.
