Earthquake
Earthquake is a sudden shaking of the
earth’s surface that often causes a lot of damage. It is the result of a sudden
release of stored energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismis waves.
Earthquakes may happen naturally or as a result of human activities. Smaller
earthquakes can also be caused by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts,
and nuclear exxpreriments.
At the Earth’s surface, earthquakes
can be seen from the shaking or displacement of the ground. Sometimes, they
cause tsunamis, which may lead to loss of life and damage of property. There
are two types of earthquake that occurs naturally, they are tectonic and
volcanic earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are earthquakes that are caused by
tectonic plates getting stuck and
putting a strain on the ground. The strain becomes go great that’s rocks give
way by breaking and sliding along fault planes.
Volcanic earthquakes are earthquakes
which are caused by the movement of magma in volcanoes. In volcanic regions
earthquakes may be caused both by tectonic faults and by the movement of magma
in volcanoes. Such earthquakes can be an early warning of volcanic eruptions.
The size of an earthquake is usually
reported using the Richter scale or a related Moment scale. Earthquakes which
are 3 on the Richter scale or lower are hard to notice. Whereas, those which
are 7 on the Richter scale causes serious damage over large areas.
