Earth Science Chapter 8– Song Lyrics
Seismology Matters
[Yo… you
know the song]
Seismology
is the study of earthquakes
The tremor
or the temblor or the shock when the earth shakes
Rupture,
rebound, snap back into place
Respect for
the changes Mother Earth makes
Seismology is the science of studying
earthquakes [Sing the tune]
and seismic waves [You know the song]
Earthquakes occur mostly at the edges of
tectonic plates
at faults where the Earth’s crust breaks
[You know
the song… now hit it]
The Richter
scale measures magnitude
An
earthquake of 4 can be felt by most humans
2 means
small and 7 means huge
When
earthquakes hit the best thing to do
is hide
under cover in the center of the room
‘cos buildings are often designed to stand through these
shakes
And these
quakes occur on the moon and the sun too
You know
the song, now sing the tune
Seismology is the science of studying
earthquakes
and seismic waves
Rocks stretch and squeeze like a spring
released during an earthquake
And seismic waves are body waves or surface
waves
Seismology is the science of studying
earthquakes
and seismic waves
Rocks stretch and squeeze like a spring
released during an earthquake
Seismic waves are body waves or surface waves
Seismology is the science of studying earthquakes
and seismic waves
Seismology is the science of studying
earthquakes
