PPT-Get Ready for an Earthquake

Earthquakes are the sudden rapid shaking of the earth caused by the breaking and shifting of rock deep underground Including Illinois Indiana and Wisconsin there are 45 states and territories in the US at moderate to high risk for earthquakes. Are You Prepared To Ride It Out? We have heard it so many times –the “big one” is coming. In our lifetime, we still haven’t seen or felt that huge earthquake. That shouldn’t stop us from preparing.

The plates are usually marked by fractures or fault lines formed when the plates tear apart or slide or collide past each other. This results in a change of the earth’s interior masses which send out powerful shock waves with enough force to alter the surface of the earth. The shock waves can thrust up cliffs and open huge cracks on the ground leading to an earthquake event. earthquake.

Earthquake is a shaking of the ground caused by the sudden breaking and shifting of large sections of Earth's rocky outer shell. Earthquakes are among the most powerful events on earth, and their results can be terrifying. A severe earthquake may release energy 10,000 times as great as that of the first atomic bomb. Rock movements during an earthquake can make rivers change their course. Earthquakes can trigger landslides that cause great damage and loss of life. Large earthquakes beneath the ocean can create a series of huge, destructive waves called tsunamis that flood coasts for many miles. . has not occurred in . either the San Francisco or the Los Angeles area for over 100 years..
