The document discusses earthquakes and the importance of being prepared. It summarizes a magnitude 7.2 earthquake in Bohol in 2013 that killed 222 people and damaged 73,000 structures, as well as a 2012 earthquake in Eastern Samar. It explains that earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates and faults, which can cause shaking and damage depending on magnitude and location. The document stresses the importance of being prepared to lessen the impact of disasters.

14. What is earthquake?
•An earthquake is the
shaking of the surface of
the Earth, resulting from
the sudden release of
energy in the Earth’s
lithosphere that creates
seismic waves.
•Earthquakes can range in size from those that are so
weak that they cannot be felt to those violent
enough to toss people around and destroy whole
cities.

16. What causes earthquakes and
where do they happen?
•The earth has four major layers: the
inner core, outer core, mantle and crust.
The crust and the top of the mantle
make up a thin skin on the surface of
our planet. But this skin is not all in one
piece – it is made up of many pieces like
a puzzle covering the surface of the
earth.

17. • Not only that, but these puzzle pieces keep slowly
moving around, sliding past one another and
bumping into each other. We call these puzzle
pieces tectonic plates, and the edges of the plates
are called the plate boundaries. The plate
boundaries are made up of many faults, and most
of the earthquakes around the world occur on
these faults. Since the edges of the plates are
rough, they get stuck while the rest of the plate
keeps moving. Finally, when the plate has moved
far enough, the edges unstick on one of the faults
and there is an earthquake

19. Effects of earthquakes
.

20. The severity of the local effects depends
on the complex combination
of the earthquake magnitude
the distance from the epicenter
local geological and geomorphological conditions,
which may amplify or reduce wave
propagation. The ground-shaking is
measured by ground acceleration.
