An earthquake is caused by shifting rocks beneath the earth's surface, releasing stress and causing shaking. During an earthquake, it is important to take shelter right away by hiding under a sturdy table or bed to stay safe from falling debris. You should hide alone under the table if possible and alert others around you to also find shelter. It is important to take cover as soon as you feel shaking start to protect yourself until the earthquake stops.

Earthquake Intro
An earthquake awareness month document outlines key information about earthquakes including:
1) What are earthquakes, how they are caused by the sudden release of energy in fault lines, and how they are measured on various scales.
2) The main types of faults that cause earthquakes - normal, reverse, and strike-slip - and how each results in different types of surface displacement.
3) The potential effects of earthquakes like fires, soil liquefaction, landslides, tsunamis, flooding, and loss of life and property damage. Historical examples like the 1755 Lisbon earthquake are provided.
Snap,Crash, Crunch
The document summarizes key concepts about earthquakes including: P waves and S waves which cause compression and damage during earthquakes; footwalls and hanging walls which describe the relationship between the sides of a fault; anticlines which form plateaus; stress which changes the shape of the land; and reverse faults which occur at divergent boundaries. Earthquakes cannot be predicted but can be located, and they often cause disasters that destroy homes.
Earthquake preparedness
An earthquake is the shaking of the Earth's surface caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes can range from minor tremors to violent shakes that toss people and destroy cities. The risks of earthquakes include injury, death, and destroyed properties. It is important to be prepared by having a safety-first mentality, being aware of one's surroundings as houses, trees and posts can be dangerous during a quake, and having an emergency kit with tools, equipment, medicines and supplies.
Earth Science 5.3 : Earthquakes and Society
The document discusses earthquake hazards, forecasting, and safety. It explains that earthquake hazard level is determined by past and present seismic activity, with more activity indicating a higher hazard level. Two methods of earthquake forecasting are discussed: studying patterns of past seismic activity to make general predictions, and the gap hypothesis which predicts quakes in areas along faults that have not experienced recent activity. The document outlines five ways to safeguard buildings from earthquakes through techniques like retrofitting and using steel, and provides safety procedures for during and after an earthquake.

DROP to the ground and take cover under sturdy furniture if possible during an earthquake. If no sturdy furniture is nearby, get down next to an interior wall and cover your head and neck with your arms. Getting into this position protects you from falling objects and allows you to move if needed. The text advises doing this immediately when shaking begins before the earthquake knocks you down, as it reduces the chance of injury in most situations.

Earthquake
This document provides information about earthquakes, including what causes them, different types of faults, seismic waves, measuring earthquake intensity, effects of earthquakes, and preparedness and response. It explains that earthquakes are caused by a sudden slip along a fault due to built up stresses in the earth's crust. There are three main types of faults - strike-slip, thrust, and normal - depending on the type of plate motion and rock. When an earthquake occurs, seismic waves are generated including body waves (P and S waves) and surface waves (Love and Rayleigh waves). Earthquake intensity can be measured using the Mercalli scale or Richter magnitude scale. Earthquakes can cause damage through ground shaking, landslides
Physics activity presentation on earthquakes
An earthquake is a sudden shaking or trembling of the Earth's crust due to the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates and volcanic eruptions. Earthquakes can result in devastating effects like loss of lives and property from building collapses, economic impacts from infrastructure damage, landslides, and tsunamis. Safety measures during an earthquake include dropping, covering, and holding on if inside, and staying away from buildings if outside.

Earthquake: A Tragedy to life and property
An earthquake is the shaking of the Earth's surface caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere. This social science project discusses earthquakes, including what they are, their causes, effects, and protection against them. Some key points made are that earthquakes result from the movement of tectonic plates and built-up pressure being released. Their effects include ground shaking, ground ruptures, landslides, tsunamis, and fires. Protection involves earthquake-resistant building construction and safety precautions during shaking. Some of the deadliest earthquakes mentioned caused thousands of deaths, such as in Nepal in 2015 and Japan in 2011.
Tsunami
The document discusses tsunamis, providing key facts and definitions. It explains that tsunamis are large waves caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides under the sea. The document outlines the devastating impacts of tsunamis, noting the 2004 Thailand tsunami that killed over 230,000 people and the 2011 Japan tsunami that killed over 300,000. It also discusses Hawaii's vulnerability to tsunamis and the largest tsunami ever recorded at 1,720 feet tall in Alaska in 1958.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes are caused by the release of energy in the Earth's crust due to movements of tectonic plates. The main types of fault that cause earthquakes are normal, reverse thrust, and strike-slip. Earthquakes produce seismic waves that damage buildings and infrastructure, endangering human life. They can also trigger tsunamis, which are large ocean waves that inundate coastal areas. Scientists are still working on predicting earthquakes, but earthquake-proofing of buildings has helped reduce risks in places like Japan and California that experience frequent seismic activity.

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.

The earthquake was caused by the subduction of the Indian plate under the Burma plate, resulting in the release of built-up tension along the plate boundary. It was the longest earthquake ever observed, lasting between 8-10 minutes. The earthquake was very powerful, with a magnitude of 9.1, and caused over 230,000 deaths as well as massive tsunamis up to 30 meters high.
Earthquake Engineering 2012 Lecture 0102 Nature of Earthquakes
The document discusses the causes and effects of earthquakes. It explains that earthquakes are primarily caused by the sudden movement of tectonic plates. Specifically, they occur at plate boundaries where the plates meet. Earthquakes can also be caused by volcanic activity or human activities like underground explosions. The document also describes different types of faults like normal, thrust and strike-slip faults. Finally, it outlines various ways that earthquakes can damage structures like through inertial forces, induced fires, liquefaction, fault displacement, landslides and tsunamis.
Earthquakes
1. The document discusses earthquakes and faults, explaining that the Philippines is prone to earthquakes due to its location along the Ring of Fire.
2. It defines a fault as a break in the earth's crust where significant movement has occurred, and explains how faults produce earthquakes through the buildup and sudden release of energy from inside the earth.
3. The document provides information on earthquake waves, intensity scales, and safety tips for both indoors and outdoors during and after an earthquake.

The document discusses earthquakes and tsunamis. It defines an earthquake as the shaking of the Earth caused by the sudden breaking and shifting of tectonic plates. Earthquakes occur when these plates in the Earth's surface break and shift, releasing energy through shockwaves. Undersea earthquakes can cause tsunamis by disturbing the ocean's surface. The document provides safety tips, advising people to take shelter under sturdy furniture during an earthquake and evacuate buildings afterwards. It also mentions the San Andreas Fault as an example of a slip fault where the rocks have moved horizontally, creating earthquakes.
Earthquake power point
The document discusses earthquakes and their causes and effects. It notes that earthquakes can kill people and damage buildings when they occur. The movement of tectonic plates beneath the earth's surface can cause earthquakes when the plates shift or collide. A specific earthquake that occurred in Beijing in June 2011 is described, where over 1,000 structures were destroyed, at least 25 people were killed, and 250 were injured. Rescue workers helped survivors and orphaned children were taken in by other families.
Earthquakes
This document provides an overview of earthquakes, including their causes, effects, measurement, and safety advice. Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of elastic energy from tectonic plate movement along convergent, divergent, and transform plate boundaries. They can cause severe damage to buildings and infrastructure and loss of life. While not perfectly predictable, the magnitude of earthquakes is measured on the Richter scale. Safety advice during an earthquake includes dropping, covering, and holding on until shaking stops, and staying away from windows or anything that could fall. Earthquakes can have some benefits like loosening soil and depositing nutrients, but generally cause significant disruption and harm.
