and what do these factors affect? (5 min / 5 pts)
(Tue) Earthquakes can have different magnitudes. What
are the two major factors that determines the magnitude
and what do these factors affect? (5 min/5 pts)
Two factors:
How much friction there is between the plates
What is the yield strength for the breaking of
the rocks
How affects:
Both of these affect the elastic rebound after
the rocks break apart
(Wed) Quiz – No warm up
