EARTH QUAKES : a sudden and violent
movement or fracture within the earth’s
crust followed by a series of shocks is
called an earthquake. The movement is
sudden and abrupt and short-lived but it
causes a lot of damage.
CAUSES FOR EARTHQUAKES



The colliding of continental and oceanic plates
causes earthquakes.
Violent and explosive volcanoes can cause
destructive earthquakes.
Minor causes of earthquakes are collapse of
underground caves, landslides and man-made
causes such as dams which causes a sudden
rush of water and disturbs the rocks.
MERACALLI SCALE


In1897 the Assam earthquAKE had a magnitude
of 8.7. In 1960 the Chile eaarthquke had
magnitude of 8.9 , the highest yet recorded.
Seismologists use the seismograph to measure
the intensity of earth quake waves. It is a highly
sensitive device to detect the slightest vibration
of earth’s crust.
seismography

The RICHTER scale measures the
magnitude of an earthquake. It is
logarithmic and open ended. It ranges
from 0-8.9, the largest earthquake,yet
recorded. the richter scale readings are
taken on a Seismograph.



Beware of falling building and flying object
Don’t go outside till the shaking stop
completely
Go to higher ground if you are near the
coastal area
Stand under a door frame or crouch under
a table or chair or bed untill quakes stops
