than approximately 5 are reported for the entire globe. The more numerous earthquakes are none to be smaller than magnitude 5 reported by national seismological observatories which are measured mostly on the local magnitude scale‚ also none as the Richter scale. These two scales are numerically similar over their range of validity. Earthquakes that are magnitude 3 or lower are mostly almost imperceptible or weak and magnitude 7 and over potentially cause serious damage over larger areas‚ depending

His contributions have been invaluable in several fields‚ but there are some inventions which have made him a cult icon. Some of his famous inventions include the Archimedean Screw‚ which was developed in order to remove flooded water from

new rocks are formed. Plate tectonics allow scientists to know about the earth’s centre. The oceanic plate slides under the continental plate because it is heavier. Once it goes under the continental plate it melts into the asthenosphere. The Richter scale is a scale that scientists use to measure the magnitude of an earthquake. It can tell us how much the earth’s crust has moved (how hard; effecting the surface). A shift along a fault on the continental crust could also cause earthquakes.

The cause of the tsunami in Sumatra on 26 December 2004 which affected the entire Indian Ocean was a very violent earthquake of magnitude 9.3 on the Richter scale. It was the biggest earthquake ever recorded after the one in Chile on 22 May 1960‚ with a magnitude of 9.5. It originated at 00:58:53 GMT (7:58:53 AM local time)‚ on a fault in a subduction area between the Indo-Australian plate and the Burma plate (which forms part of the larger Eurasian plate (see fig. 1)‚ with the hypocenter at a depth

earthquakes can displace huge volumes of water. On the 26th December 2004 at the Indian plate/ Burma plate subduction zone‚ lots of pressure was suddenly released north-west of the coast of Sumatra‚ resulting in a megathrust earthquake of 9.1 on the Richter scale. A huge volume of water was displaced producing a series of tsunamis which hit 14 countries bordering the Indian Ocean. The other two causes are less frequent. Subsidence occurs when there is a downwards driving force such as gravity acting
