Earthquakes and Subduction Zones Lab Amy Paret Mrs. Igo 9th Grade Periods 3 and 4 Even Date: 2/14/13 Background Research: This lab uses earthquake data to construct profiles of two convergent boundaries: the Tonga Trench and the Peru-Chile Trench. Where two tectonic plates converge‚ if one or both of the plates is an oceanic lithosphere‚ a subduction zone will form. When crust is formed at a mid-ocean ridge‚ it is hot and buoyant meaning it has a low density. As it spreads away from the ridge and

making it susceptible to earthquakes CONSTRUCTION OF EARTHQUAKE RESISTENT BUILDINGS IN SEISMIC ZONES OF INDIA Earthquakes occur due to movements along faults that have evolved through geological and tectonic processes. Often they occur without any prior warning and are‚ therefore‚ unpredictable. The large area of India is prone to earthquake. The construction of earthquake resistant building is the only solution for safeguarding our urban centres from the menace of earthquakes. On the basis of

Underwater earthquake causing Tsunami. * The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea megathrust earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53UTC on Sunday‚ 26 December 2004‚ with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra‚ Indonesia. The quake itself is known by the scientific community as the Sumatra–Andaman earthquake. The resulting tsunami was given various names‚ including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami‚ South Asian tsunami‚ Indonesian tsunami‚ and the Boxing Day tsunami. * The earthquake was caused

2013 a calamity so unexpected and tragic struck the islands in Central Visayas. Recorded as the deadliest earthquake that struck the Philippines in 23 years‚ fear‚ anxiety and panic were felt all throughout the area. Houses collapsed‚ buildings got destroyed and churches had fallen. More crucially‚ lives had been taken. Currently‚ we’re still within weeks after the 7.2 magnitude earthquake‚ hit into the peaceful surfaces of Bohol and Cebu. The destruction brought about by the quake is heartbreaking—over

Technology is the best way to reduce the impact of an earthquake. To what extent do you agree with this view? Technology can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used to manage the hazard as well as the vulnerability and loss. Despite the fact that unlike volcanoes‚ there is no definite or set method on predicting earthquakes‚ technology in terms of seismographs and tilt meters are used to give a slight clue. One method of reducing the impact is by managing the vulnerability. One of the main

Earthquakes An earthquake is a shaking or trembling of the crust of the earth caused by underground volcanic action or by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the surface. The volcanic action and shifting rocks create strain which continues to build to a sudden release of pressure resulting in a shock wave. The vibrations produced in the crust can vary from barely noticeable to enormously destructive. Shock waves can be classified into two broad categories. Waves that send particles oscillating

Definition: An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves.TThe recent earthquake In India on September 18 ‚ 2011 compelled me to write an essay about earthquake. In this essay many things related to earthquake will be discussed.e seismicity or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency‚ type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time. Measurement: Earthquakes are measured with the help of seismometers. The moment
