Question

matching
focus
epicenter
surface waves
seismograph
magnitude
a. records ground movements caused by seismic waves as they move through earth.
b. slowest seismic waves that produce the most severe ground movements
c. the point beneath earths surface at which rock under stress breaks and triggers an earthquake.
d. a measurement of an earthquakes strength
e. the point on surface directly above the point the point at which an earthquake occur.

Explanation:

The focus is the point beneath the Earth's surface where rock under stress breaks and triggers an earthquake. The epicenter is the point on the surface directly above the focus. Surface - waves are the slowest seismic waves that produce the most severe ground movements. A seismograph records ground movements caused by seismic waves as they move through the Earth. Magnitude is a measurement of an earthquake's strength.

Answer:

Focus - c
Epicenter - e
Surface Waves - b
Seismograph - a
Magnitude - d
