Amount and duration are related to the amount of energy released. Which hazards do you know?. Earthquake Hazards. Tsunami: displacement of a large volume of water. Briefly, “explain” the intent of this cartoon. Why do earthquakes occur?. Which of the following diagrams represents a normal fault? What is your evidence? . A.. B. .. TPS – What is going on here?. Tectonic plates are huge rock pieces within the earth’s crust. 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 Risk. Earthquakes are likely wherever plate movement stores energy in the rock along faults.. Geologists can determine earthquake risk by locating where faults are active and where past earthquakes have occurred.. So you think you have a safe office job.. You spend most of your day sitting in a chair. What could go wrong? The National Safety Council says employees are two-and-a-half times more likely to suffer a disabling fall in an office setting than anywhere else. How to avoid them?. Earthquake Country Alliance.
