1 By Ker Than LiveScience Staff Writer Slow moving silent earthquakes that last on the order of weeks to months could be useful for predicting when more destructive temblors will strike scien. Move it, move it !!. What are they?. Fault: a break or fracture in the crust of Earth.. Earthquakes: shaking or trembling of the earth caused by movement along a fault.. Uplift: upward movement of Earth’s crust.. Deformation. The process of when a rock changes because of stress. Compression. -rocks push together (squeezing). Tension. -rocks pull away from each other (stretching). Rock layers bend when stress is placed on them. But when the stress is placed on rocks, they can reach their elastic limit and break. Earthquake. – shaking and trebling that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth’s surface.. Plate movement causes earthquakes from stress and faults in Earth’s crust. When the rock breaks earthquakes happen. 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: . Why you need to prepare for the next earthquake . Alaska has more earthquakes than any other region of the U.S. . And in fact is one of the most seismically active area of the world.. Great earthquakes (Earthquakes larger than magnitude 8) rock the state on average every 13 years since the 1900. . An . earthquake. is a shaking of the ground caused by the sudden movement of large blocks of rock along a fault. Earthquakes occur along faults.. A . fault. is a fracture, or break, in Earth’s lithosphere, along which blocks of rock move past each other.. !. All is calm, all is bright. .. Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.. Holy . infant so tender and mild,. Sleep . in heavenly peace,. Sleep . in heavenly . peace.. Silent night, holy night. !. Shepherds . 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:. William Mackaness, Carol Blackwood, Charlotte Graves. Institute of Geography. School of GeoSciences. University of Edinburgh. Drummond St, Edinburgh EH8 9XP. william.mackaness@ed.ac.uk. Earthquakes. Measure on a Richter scale 1-7. Move it, move it !!. What are they?. Fault: a break or fracture in the crust of Earth.. Earthquakes: shaking or trembling of the earth caused by movement along a fault.. Uplift: upward movement of Earth’s crust.. . What Is an Earthquake?. An . earthquake. is the vibration of Earth produced by the rapid release of energy. Energy released radiates in all directions from its source, the . focus. . Energy is in the form of waves.

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’..
