|---|
| the record of an earthquake's seismic waves produced by a seismograph | seismogram |
| the force that opposes the motion of one surface as it moves across another surface | friction |
| an earthquake monitoring device that measures tilting or raising of the ground along a fault | tiltmeter |
| an earthquake monitoring device that uses a wire stretched across a fault to measure horizontal movement of the ground | creep meter |

| an earthquake monitoring device that can monitor changes in elevation as well as horizontal movement at faults using a network of Earth-orbiting satellites | GPS satellites |
| the process by which an earthquake's violent movement suddenly turns loose soil into liquid mud | liquifaction |
| an earthquake that occurs after a larger earthquake in the same area | aftershock |
| a giant wave usually caused by an earthquake beneath the ocean floor | tsunami |
