 Earthquakes are the Earth's
natural means of releasing
stress. When the Earth's plates
move against each other, stress is
put on the lithosphere. When
this stress is great enough, the
lithosphere breaks or shift.
THE RING OF FIRE
Earthquakes happen around the ring of fire.
Also earthquakes happen in the Virgin
Islands. The ring of fire is made up of
different plates. Like the pacific plate,
Philippine plate, north American plate,
Cocos plate, and the Nazcs plate.
Earthquakes can happen in California
but not as recent as Alaska. Alaska has an
earthquake almost everyday which is
pretty amazing. The reason is stress
between to tectonic plates release that
stress and the plates shift.
 Earthquakes play a role in
people’s lives. Earthquakes can
destroy your homes, cars, jobs/
businesses, ect. Also
earthquakes can kill people by
how the structure collapses
them. Around 67% of people are
killed by earthquakes.
 Emergency response plans for earthquakes
can be every serious. You should have a
medical pack ready cause you never can
tell when an earthquake will appear. In
these picture you can see various items for
an earthquake. You can have more also.
When an earthquake happens you should
go underneath something like a table
something big. So you should have an
emergency response plan ready for an
earthquake.

Letter to President
Dear Mr. President
In my research I have found interesting facts about earthquakes and volcanoes. In this letter I will tell you
about those facts. Also I will answer your questions you might have. I have also found some scientific discoveries you need
to know about.
Earthquakes can occur in different regions through out the world. These areas include places such as; Alaska,
Virgin Islands, Russia, and Japan. Earthquakes also occur near bodies of water and in isolated regions. As you can see
earthquakes can happen all over the world.
To determine what parts of the world are prone to earthquakes one must look into the history of the country
to see how many earthquakes that country has had. The more earthquakes they had the more likely they will have more
earthquakes in the future. You could also invent some new technology to determine what parts of the world are most
prone to earthquakes. Those are some ways to determine what parts of the world are most prone to earthquakes.
There is a relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes. There are several relationships between
volcanoes and earthquakes. One relationship is that they are deadly and can cause million dollars in damage. Another
reason is small islands could be destroyed because earthquakes can cause volcanoes or vise versa. As you can see
earthquakes and volcanoes can be related in some ways.
Earthquakes can be caused by an eruption of volcanoes, or if an earthquake has a greater magnitude then it
could cause another earthquake in other areas. Also earthquakes can be caused by movements of tectonic plates. There
are different kinds plate boundaries like divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries. That is what could cause
earthquakes.
Thanks for choosing me to do this assignment. I hope I answered your questions and that is what you are
looking for. Thanks for this great opportunity. Thanks for your time to sit down and read this letter. Thank you very much.
Sincerely;
Jarred Beckley
I have found some interesting facts as you can see in my
power point. Earthquakes can happen all over the
world. You should all was have an emergency response
plan. Earthquakes have a big roll in people’s lives.
Earthquakes can be every deadly. If you hear about an
earthquake listen to the news cause you could help
those people in need. Also the earthquake could be
near your state. Always that natural disasters serious
cause that could be you someday.
