ter> What is the evidence for our knowledge of the
internal structure of the Earth? As we
enter the twenty first century we are beginning to
learn more and more about the composition of the
Earth. Early predictions have thrown up some
rather strange and peculiar thoughts as to what is
making up our Earth, but now days scientists can
be confident that the Earth is made up of what
they think. As from experiments and other sources
of information a picture to what is really down

EARTHQUAKE REFERENCE FILES Earthquake, shaking of
the earth's surface caused by rapid movement of
the earth's rocky outer layer. Earthquakes occur
when energy stored within the earth, usually in
the form of strain in rocks, suddenly releases.
This energy is transmitted to the surface of the
earth by earthquake waves. The study of
earthquakes and the waves they create is called
seismology. Scientists who study earthquakes are
called seismologists. (Webster's p. 423) The
destruction an earthquake ...

When there is a sudden breaking of rocks within
the earth or an explosion, wave like energy
travels through the earth and is recorded on
seismographs. These are called seismic waves and
they are of two types: body waves and surface
waves categorized into different kinds. What we
will be discussing are body waves; there are two
types of body waves: primary waves (P waves) and
secondary waves (S waves). Both kinds travel
through the Earths interior in all directions and
arrive before the surface w...

Earths Surface Ground Motion

An earthquake, one of the most destructive natural
phenomena, consists of rapid vibrations of rock
near the surface of the earth. It is the most
terrifying of all natural phenomena and has
brought fear since ancient times because of its
sudden unpredictable occurrence and enormous
capacity of destruction. A single shock usually
last no more than a few seconds, although several
quakes may last for as much as a couple of
minutes. The quake as felt on the surface is
always the result never the caus...

An earthquake is Earthquakes Earthquakes An
earthquake is a naturally induced shaking of the
ground, caused by the fracture of rock within the
Earth and the resulting sliding of rocks past one
another along a geological fault The sudden
movement of rocks along a fault causes vibrations
that transmit energy through the earth in the form
of waves. Waves that travel in the rocks below the
surface of the earth are called body waves, and
there are two types of body waves: primary, or P,
waves, and se...

Geology is the study of the earths landmasses. The
earth is constantly changing. Often changes are to
slow to be able to see them in a human lifetime.
Forces cause different things to happen on the
surface of the earth (Such as Mountains growing
and eroding). Scientists believe that the earth
was formed by very dense elements such as iron and
nickel which are in the core of the earth. The
earths crust covers the mantle. The crust is made
up of over two thousand different compounds called

Light Waves Light Rays

Toss a pebble in a pond -see the ripples? Now drop
two pebbles close together. Look at what happens
when the two sets of waves combine -you get a new
wave! When a crest and a trough meet, they cancel
out and the water goes flat. When two crests meet,
they produce one, bigger crest. When two troughs
collide, they make a single, deeper trough.
Believe it or not, youve just found a key to
understanding how a hologram works. But what do
waves in a pond have to do with those amazing
