Geography Assignment: Earthquake Part A: 1. Earthquakes are the sudden and rapid shaking of the earth. The collision of tectonic plates and volcanic eruptions are what cause earthquakes. 2. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates and by volcanoes. The Earth’s crust is made up of plates which can freely slide across the mantle. When these plates collide or slide past with other plates‚ earthquakes occur. After the main earthquake‚ an aftershock may occur as the rock masses

A tsunami is a series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body of water‚ generally an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes‚ volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear devices)‚ landslides‚ glacier calvings‚ meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.[3] Tsunami waves do not resemble normal sea waves‚ because their wavelength is far longer. Rather than appearing

Primary Effects occur as a result of the process itself. For example water damage during a flood or collapse of buildings during an earthquake‚ landslide‚ or hurricane. Secondary Effects occur only because a primary effect has caused them. For example‚ fires ignited as a result of earthquakes‚ disruption of electrical power and water service as a result of an earthquake‚ flood‚ or hurricane‚ or flooding caused by a landslide into a lake or river. Tertiary Effects are long-term effects that are set

that injects millions of gallons of water‚ sand‚ and chemicals under hi pressure into a well‚ cracking the rock to release natural gases and oil. It is beginning to become scientifically linked to creating earthquakes by aggravating the faults. But before we talk about how it is causing earthquakes‚ we must first go into detail on the complete process of fracking. Fracking site drills 6000ft through aquifer toward shell – then drill horizontally which can reach up to 4000ft. Then a specific tool

A natural calamity can cause loss of life or property damage‚ and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake‚ the severity of which depends on the affected population’s resilience‚ or ability to recover. A natural calamity are the side effects or the after effects of natural issues or hazards like flood‚ volcanic erosion‚ land slide or earthquake which will lead to the human‚ monetary and environmental

other hand‚ Tsunamis can be caused by a few different factors‚ which are an earthquake‚ a large-scale undersea landslide‚ a submarine volcanic eruption (Cause of Tsunami‚ n.d.). Firstly‚ the vast majority of tsunamis results from the earthquake. The earth ’s surface is covered by the continents and sea floor which are parts of the world-wide system of plates that are in the very slow motion. An earthquake occurs where the edges of plates run into one another‚ which are called faults
