Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates clash together underground, causing the ground to shake. While most earthquakes are small, they occur frequently around the world. Alaska experiences the most earthquakes in the United States. It is important to prepare an emergency kit with supplies like food, water, a radio, and first aid supplies to last at least three days in the event of an earthquake. The largest earthquake recorded in the United Kingdom was a 4.8 magnitude quake, while the Caribbean's biggest was a 7.3 magnitude earthquake that impacted much of the region.

Autumn photos
Here are 3 concise sentences summarizing the key points from the document:
The document shares several beautiful photographs of autumn scenery and nature that Guy and Will found online, including photos of trees, sunsets, clouds, and seasonal sights like rainbows, flamingos, and bluebells to enjoy.
Weather and climate.q4 week3
The document discusses weather and climate. It defines weather as the condition of the atmosphere over a short period of time, involving elements like sunshine, water, and air. Climate is defined as the average weather conditions over a long period of time. The Philippines experiences two general climatic conditions - a dry season and wet season. True/false questions are also provided to test understanding of these concepts.
Nick's haikupoems
The poem describes nature scenes of a mountain, ice, and ocean. The mountain section depicts snow falling on the mountain as goats ascend. The ice section shows ice slowly melting as spring arrives. The ocean section portrays waves lapping boats, the bright sun, and crashing tides.
Cascade lakes hike
The document summarizes a husband and wife's hiking trip to explore the area around Todd Lake and hike to Broken Top in the Cascades. They hiked over 9 miles along the ridge north of Todd Lake, passing beautiful meadows and views of other lakes. They reached the bowl of Broken Top, an awe-inspiring view. The next day, they had to evacuate their campsite at Sparks Lake due to a major thunderstorm, and while safely making their way to Bend, the wife injured herself on a flagstone patio requiring seven stitches.
Global Warming
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases trapping the sun's energy in the atmosphere and causing the Earth's temperature to rise. As the planet continues to warm, sea levels will rise and more extreme weather events like hurricanes will occur due to warmer ocean temperatures. Coastal areas will be flooded and species will die off as ecosystems are disrupted by the changing climate. To mitigate these effects, individuals need to reduce their carbon footprint by using less energy and resources, while governments should implement policies to transition to renewable energy sources and lower emissions.
Letter (3)
The letter discusses how climate change is affecting the environment. It notes that temperatures are projected to rise between 0.5 to 8.6°F over the next hundred years according to the EPA. This warming will cause ice caps to melt and sea levels to rise, oceans to become more acidic which harms agriculture, and issues like droughts and floods in the US. The letter argues that agricultural practices that release methane from cows eating corn are disrupting the climate, and this methane and nitrous oxide from cow waste harm the environment more than carbon dioxide. It also discusses how rising carbon dioxide and ocean acidification damage coral reefs and marine biodiversity. The letter urges the recipient to be open-minded about climate change and
Scott
The short document discusses the weather, mentioning that it is a sunny day and the weather is nice. Cumulus clouds are referenced as being awesome. The document is signed by Scott.
Final project
The document discusses how greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun on Earth, causing global warming. This warming is shrinking animal habitats like those of polar bears as polar ice caps melt. Small actions by individuals, such as recycling and biking, can help slow the greenhouse effect and global warming.

An earthquake safety guide provides facts about earthquakes, advice on what to do during an earthquake, and photos. It notes that earthquakes can be dangerous, there are different magnitudes, and trees can fall during strong ones. It recommends running to an open field or going under a table or to a door frame for safety. People should have a first aid kit, water, and cover their heads for protection if a major earthquake occurs.
Games vs sports Maia, Ansley, Dionne
Games are competitive but less serious than sports, where winning is the primary goal. Sports involve teams that are very competitive against each other, while games are played more for fun and people do not blame each other for losing. The main difference is that sports are taken extremely seriously and competitively, where the goal is always to win, while games are more lighthearted and about having fun rather than serious competition.
Game vs sport
Some sports like bull rush and paintball can be too competitive, while other sports like tennis have objectives like balls or flags to focus on instead of just competition. Sports should aim to be fun rather than just about winning or losing, and should provide enjoyment for all participants. The document provides brief information about the competitiveness of different sports and encourages focusing on having fun rather than just competition.

Earthquakes form when tectonic plates pass over each other. During an earthquake, people should get under a table and hold on to the legs while staying away from glass. If outside, stay away from buildings and remain in a car if in one. An earthquake survival kit should include a flashlight, 3 days of food and water supplies per person, a backpack, radio, drink bottles, matches, dust mask, blanket, whistle, and extra batteries. Most earthquakes occur along the ring of fire and there are about 3 million earthquakes annually, with around 9,000 happening daily.

An earthquake is caused by the sudden release of built-up energy along fault lines in the earth's crust. Most earthquakes occur along plate boundaries and fault lines, especially around the Pacific Ring of Fire. Earthquakes can cause tremendous damage through ground shaking and secondary effects like tsunamis. Recent major quakes in Nepal and Japan killed over 9,000 and led to widespread destruction. While earthquakes can't be prevented, communities can take steps to minimize damage by strengthening buildings and infrastructure and preparing emergency plans.

Earthquakes are caused by volcanic eruptions or tectonic plate movement. To prepare, have a survival kit with water, food, medical supplies, torches, and a radio to last 3 days. Earthquakes are measured using the Richter scale based on seismic wave amplitude, and recorded by seismographs which have a weighted base.
Earthquakes[1].ppt
Earthquakes are caused by the shaking and vibration of the earth's crust. They occur around the world and can cause devastating effects such as landslides, avalanches, tsunamis, and damage to buildings and infrastructure. While some regions are more prone to earthquakes, they are difficult to predict precisely and can strike with little or no warning. Scientists study earthquake mechanisms and seismic waves to build more earthquake resistant structures, but risk can never be fully eliminated.
Landform geohazard
The document discusses earthquakes, including what causes them, how they are measured, and some devastating examples. Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates shift underground, causing shaking and damage. They are most common near mountains where tectonic plates meet. Earthquakes are measured using the Richter scale and seismometers, which detect ground vibrations. Some catastrophic quakes discussed include the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, which triggered a tsunami killing over 230,000 people, and the 2010 Chile earthquake, an 8.8 magnitude quake felt by most of Chile's population.
Population Project
The document provides various facts about populations, species, oceans, and people:
1) The United States has the third largest population in the world at over 303 million people, while China has the largest at over 1.3 billion.
2) Scientists estimate there are over a million undiscovered species in the deep oceans, including mega-mouthed sharks and gulper eels.
3) The oceans hold promise for new medical discoveries from marine microbes, but also face threats like disappearing forests that can grow and vanish in a week.

Weathering and-erosion-
Erosion and weathering are major forces that shape the Earth's surface. Erosion is when the Earth's surface is worn away by forces like moving water, wind, oceans, and glaciers. Weathering is when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces through various processes like freezing and thawing of water, plant roots, and chemical reactions. Understanding these forces helps explain landforms like canyons, shorelines, and how soil erosion impacts food production.

Earthquakes
This document provides an overview of earthquakes, including what causes them, where tectonic plates are located, major faults in California, significant historical earthquakes worldwide, and issues and concerns regarding earthquakes. It discusses that earthquakes occur along fault lines due to the release of stress in the Earth's crust. Major plates include the North American, Pacific, Eurasian and others. Significant historical quakes included the 1964 Alaska quake, 1960 Chile quake, and 2004 Sumatra quake. Concerns addressed are economic impacts, induced quakes from fracking, lack of building codes, and environmental effects. Solutions proposed include retrofitting structures, education, and preparedness.
Earthquakes presentation bn
Earthquakes are caused by movements of tectonic plates underneath the Earth's surface along faults. Scientists use instruments like seismographs and magnetometers to detect and record earthquakes. While it is difficult to precisely predict earthquakes, some research has shown animals can sense them before they occur. Major earthquakes cause extensive damage by collapsing buildings and breaking gas pipes and power lines, which can lead to fires. Some of the most devastating earthquakes in recent history include those in Haiti in 2010, Chile in 2010, San Francisco in 1989, and Colombia in 1979.
Earthquakes
The document discusses earthquakes and related topics in three main sections. Section one describes how earthquakes are caused by movement along tectonic plate boundaries and outlines the different types of seismic waves generated by earthquakes. Section two explains how earthquakes are measured, located and recorded using seismographs. Section three discusses the damage earthquakes can cause to buildings and properties from ground shaking and liquefaction. It also describes tsunamis and provides safety tips for earthquake preparedness.

Earthquakes are a common cause of tsunamis, with the largest tsunami reaching heights up to 1720 feet. While tsunamis can travel far inland, often over 25 kilometers, their strong currents make swimming in one impossible. When preparing for a tsunami or earthquake, it is important to pack supplies like canned food, water, and a flashlight with batteries to help survive until help arrives.

If an earthquake strikes, the best things to do are to hide under a desk at school, run to an open field, or lay down and cover your head. An earthquake is a strong shaking of the ground that can be heavier and harder than a regular shake. Earthquakes are caused by the plates that make up the Earth's crust hitting each other, with the largest recorded being a magnitude 9.5 in Chile in 1960.

Volcanoes erupt ash, magma, and lava at extremely high temperatures. The smallest volcano is located in the USA, while the largest volcano is also located in the USA. Volcanoes can reach temperatures up to 1,200 degrees. Floods can develop slowly over days or suddenly within minutes from heavy rain.
