First, I'm going talk about the focus. The focus is were energy is released during a earthquake. Next I'm going to talk about a rector scale. A Rector scale is something that scientist use to see how much energy was released during an earthquake. Let's talk about the epicenter. The epicenter is on the earth's surface. Next I'm going to talk about the fault. The fault is a break in the earth's crust.
How does the movement of plates effect the strenth of earthquakes ?
Well they can bump into each other so they can either bump into to each other hard or soft. If they hit hard most likely it's going to be a big earthquake if it hit's softly it will not cuase as much damage. One more thing before we move on! Please look at the picture below.
This is when it is pushing away to cause earthquake know let's see another picture of when it bumps into each other.
This is a picuture of when the plates bump into each other. Well, we have a couple more things to talk about so let's move on.
What causes a earthquake?
The thing that causes a earthquake is when 2 or more boundaries meet. Also there could be a fault in the earth so that can also cause a earthquake. Also there are there are 3 movements. The three movements are collide, slide pass each other,and the last one is pulling apart from each other.Here is a picuture of the three movements . Another thing is if it rubs aggasint each other that can also cause a earthquake.
This is a picuture of the three movements.
Well that is a abut it folks so keep looking at my blog.
