EARTHQUAKES An earthquake is a major demonstration of the power of the tectonic forces: Transcript
An earthquake is a motion of the ground surface According to AN Strahler and AH Strahler 1976 An earthquake is a vibration or oscillation of the surface of the earth caused by a transient disturbance of the elastic or gravitational equilibrium of the rocks at or beneath the earth the surface. -Black. Shensi, China. When did this happen?. January 23, 1556. How many people died?. It is estimated that 830,000 people where killed in it.. The geological effects that were reported where ground fissures, uplift, subsidence, liquefaction, and landslides.. Andrei Gabrielov. Purdue University.

What are Destructive Forces?. A destructive force is a process that lowers or tears down the surface features of the Earth. . Examples of Destructive Forces:. Destructive forces can occur in many ways. The following are common examples of destructive forces:. earthquake. (also known as a . quake. , . tremor. or . temblor. ) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the . Earth's. . crust. that creates . seismic waves. . . The . seismicity. , . seismism. About 200 earthquakes occur in our region each year, mainly in southeast Missouri’s . New Madrid Seismic Zone. Missouri’s Great Quakes. Among the biggest earthquakes ever to hit the continental U.S.:. Divergent. Convergent. Transform. Three types of plate boundary. Spreading ridges. As plates move apart new material is erupted to fill the gap. Divergent Boundaries. Iceland has a divergent plate boundary running through its middle. (Lesson 22). ENQUIRY QUESTION 3:. How successful is the . management. of tectonic hazards and disasters?. H/W :TASK 4. Read the information . (Hodder page 90 in this booklet) . about two recent tectonic mega disasters : . Content Purpose:. Explore the scientific theory of plate tectonics by describing how the movement of Earth's crustal plates causes both slow and rapid changes in Earth's surface, including volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and mountain building. .
