Slide1

Comparing and contrasting earthquakes

Comparing and contrasting earthquakes

Have compared the impacts of earthquakes on a

MEDC

and a LEDC.Have considered development as a key issue in earthquake response.

By the end of this section, you will: Slide2

magnitude of the earthquake

physical landscape

time of day

building design and constructionemergency service responseGDPeducation.

Which factors do you think are the most important?Which factors are related to the wealth of the country?How can education limit earthquake damage?What factors affect earthquake damage?

Different factors affect the damage an earthquake causes:Slide3

Why might more people have died in Pakistan than in LA?

How different were the immediate effects of these earthquakes?

What the papers saySlide4

Pakistan lies on a

collision

boundary between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate.

The Indian plate is moving into the Eurasian plate at a rate of 67 mm per year. The motion causes the Himalayas to rise, as well as producing earthquakes.

Epicentre of the 2005 Pakistan earthquake.

What’s moving in Pakistan?Slide5

What’s moving in California?

The San Andreas fault is a

conservative fault that runs along the West of California.

Los Angeles lies very close to it.

All land west of the fault on the Pacific Plate is moving to the North-west. All land east of the fault on the North American plate is moving to the South-west.

The epicentre of the 1994 LA earthquake

The rate of slippage across California is 33-37 mm per year.Slide6

Using these photos as a guide, can you tell a story of the effects the earthquake had and how people responded to it?
