PPT-Earthquake Safety 6 th Grade Earth Science

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. scecorg EARTH SCIENCE ACTIVITY 2 All Grades Measure My Magnitude This activity is one of several in a basic curriculum designed to increase student knowledge about earthquake science and preparedness The activities can be done at any time in the week Hazards are produced from the response of energy released. 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. LITHOSPHERE. Oceanic Crust.

Prague Conference 2015. They Shape Our Landscape. As plates move, we may feel these movements as earthquakes. If there were no plate motions, our planet would not look like home. There would be no mountains, no valleys, no plateaus . 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.
