3. Compare (tell how they are similar) and contrast (tell how they are different) body waves and surface waves. Part 2 - Locating and Measuring Earthquakes 4. Explain how a seismograph records earthquake data. 5. How is the fact that P-waves travel more quickly than S-waves used to determine the distance of an earthquake's epicenter from the seismograph? 6. List the two scales used to measure earthquakes, a) their names, b) the size of their scale, and c) what exactly each measures. (Hint: One scale starts with "R" and one starts with "M".) Part 3 - Earthquake Hazards 7. Describe how ground shaking and liquefaction can cause buildings to collapse. 8. How can studying the effects of earthquakes help engineers improve the safety of building and other structures? 9. What is a seismic gap? Part 4 - Studying Earths Interior 10. Explain why the shadow zone of an earthquake in Japan would be different from the shadow zone of an earthquake in California. 11. Petroleum geologists can use seismic waves to locate oil beneath Earth's surface. Oil is usually trapped in porous rock that lies beneath a layer of denser rock. Predict how the speed of a seismic wave would change as it traveled through these layers.

| The rising sun country is one of world leaders on manufacture of cars and motorcycles.
