ANSWER KEY
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding
Describe the Pacific Ring of Fire
 The Pacific Ring of Fire is an area of
intense seismic activity that circles the
Pacific Ocean. It's characterized by a
chain of volcanoes and frequent
earthquakes.
 This ring is a result of tectonic plate
interactions where the Pacific Plate
collides with other plates, creating
subduction zones that trigger volcanic
activity and earthquakes.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding
Classify Faults by Angle and Slip
Fault Plane Angle
The angle of the fault plane
determines the type of fault:
Normal, Reverse/Thrust, or
Strike-Slip.
Direction of Slip
The direction of slip along the
fault plane classifies the fault
further, depending on whether
the blocks move up or down.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding
Normal Faults
Hanging Wall
The block above the fault
plane, moving downward.
Footwall
The block below the fault
plane, moving upward.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding
Reverse (Thrust) Faults
Hanging Wall
The block above
the fault plane,
moving upward.
Footwall
The block below
the fault plane,
moving
downward.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding
Strike-Slip Faults
1 Right-Lateral
Blocks move horizontally past
each other, with the opposite side
moving to the right.
2 Left-Lateral
Blocks move horizontally past
each other, with the opposite side
moving to the left.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding
Seismic Activities and Location
1
Plate Boundaries
Most earthquakes occur along plate boundaries, wher
tectonic plates interact.
2
Fault Zones
Within these boundaries, fault zones are
areas of weakness where rocks fracture and
slip, leading to earthquakes.
3
Seismic Risk
Countries located on or near active
fault zones face a higher risk of
Key Takeaways
1
Fault Classification
Faults are classified by their angle and slip direction, impacting seism
activity.
2
Pacific Ring of Fire
This area is prone to volcanic activity and earthquake
due to tectonic plate interactions.
3
Seismic Risk
Understanding fault types and their
location helps assess seismic risk
and prepare for potential
earthquakes.

them the questions that follow.
 What do you see in the picture?
 Why is it called the Pacific Ring
of Fire?
