It includes terms like fault, stress, earthquake, seismograph, seismic waves, primary waves, secondary waves, surface waves, epicenter, focus, normal faults, reverse faults, strike-slip faults, aftershocks, and tsunamis. It also has questions to label the parts of an earthquake diagram and identify different types of seismic waves. The matching questions test knowledge of 15 key terms and their descriptions related to earthquakes.

    Long Test 1 – Science 8

    MATCHING TYPE: For each section, place the letter on the line which best matches each term with its’
    description.

    _____1. Fault A. the vibrations caused by an earthquake


    _____2. Stress B. an instrument that constantly records ground movements
    _____3. Earthquake C. a fracture in Earth’s lithosphere along which blocks of rock move past
    each other
    _____4. Seismograph D. the force applied by an object pressing on, pulling on, or pushing
    against another object
    _____5. Seismic Waves E. a shaking of the ground caused by the sudden movement of large
    blocks of rocks along a fault
    _________________________________________________________________________________

    _____6. Primary Waves F. in an earthquake, the point underground where the rocks first begin to
    move
    _____7. Epicenter G. these waves move along Earth’s surface and cause the largest ground
    movements and the most damage
    _____8. Secondary Waves H. the point on Earth’s surface directly above the focus of an earthquake
    _____9. Focus I. the fastest seismic waves that are the first to reach any particular
    location after an earthquake, also called P waves
    _____10. Surface Waves J. the second seismic waves to arrive at any particular location after an
    earthquake, also called S waves
    _________________________________________________________________________________

    _____11. Normal Faults K. a smaller earthquake that follows a more powerful earthquake in the
    same area
    _____12. Tsunami L. In these faults, blocks of rock move sideways on either side of the fault
    plane
    _____13. Reverse Faults M. Huge ocean waves caused by an underwater earthquake or
    underwater volcanic eruption
    _____14. Aftershock N. in these faults, the block of rock above the fault plane slides down
    relative to the other block
    _____15. Strike-Slip Faults O. along these faults, the block of rock above the fault plane moves up
    relative to the other block
    16 – 19. Label the parts of the earthquake.

    20 – 25. Identify the type of seismic wave being described in each statement.
    A. Body wave B. Surface Wave C. P-wave D. S-wave E. Love wave F. Rayleigh wave
    ____________________ 20. The surface wave that creates a rolling motion, making the ground move up and
    down and side to side in the same direction the wave is moving.
    ____________________21. The seismic waves that travel through the earth’s interior only.
    ____________________22. This is the fastest seismic wave.
    ____________________23. This seismic wave can only move through solid rock.
    ____________________24. This seismic wave creates horizontal motions, moving the ground from side to
    side.
    ____________________25. The types of waves that are considered to cause the damages and destructions
    that occur during and after an earthquake.

    26 -40. Complete the table.
