I chose to research earthquakes and the prediction of earthquakes because I was curious as to how they work. In this paper‚ I will discus the history of earthquakes‚ the kinds and locations of earthquakes‚ earthquake effects‚ intensity scales‚ prediction‚ and my own predictions. An earthquake can be defined as vibrations produced in the earth’s crust. Tectonic plates have friction between them which builds up as it tries to push away and suddenly ruptures and then rebounds.

An earthquake (also known as a quake‚ tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity‚ seismism or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency‚ type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time. Tectonic earthquakes occur anywhere in the earth where there is sufficient stored elastic strain energy to drive fracture propagation along a fault plane. The sides of a fault move past each other smoothly

1. Briefly define and describe each of the creation theories put forth by Richter. Which do you think is the best interpretation of Genesis 1-3? Why? The first theory is the gap theory (p 95-96). This theory states that between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2‚ Satan and a third of the angels have fallen. In Genesis 1:1‚ God has already created something and then right after it there is the gap where Satan destroys it after falling‚ and God is forced to recreate it which we see in Genesis 1:2.
