The Ring of Fire is a ring of earthquakes that occur.... causing MANY volcanic eruptions.

These are some example of the boundaries--- Divergent, Convergent, and Transform.

The world's largest earthquake was recorded in southern Chile on May 22, 1960. This earthquake was 9.5 on the Richter Scale--- the highest the world has ever seen. The earthquake soon created a massive tsunami that killed MANY people. The earthquake shook the ground vigorously and damaged or destroyed buildings. About 2,000,000 people were left homeless after this earthquake (and tsunami that followed). This was a very destructive earthquake--- something that these people couldn't even protect themselves from. :(

A scale that helps determine the magnitude of an earthquake and how much damage it will cause.

This is a diagram of the earth's layer. Inner Core (pink & red) - Outer Core (orange)- Lower Mantle (yellow)- Upper Mantle (light yellow)- Crust (green & blue)

This shows how an earthquake can make a volcano erupt. It happens often.

S- Wave: The S-ECONDARY wave, also known as aftershock. This is a little earthquake or tremor that occurs AFTER the original earthquake.

# data[].attributes.body
P- Wave: This is the P-RIMARY wave that you get from the earthquakes when it originally occurs. It is also the most dangerous and powerful.

# data[].attributes.body
Epicenter: The point where an earthquake or underground explosion originates.

This tool is used to measure the intensity of earthquakes. It can also pick up on aftershock or the S Wave of an earthquakes as well!

This is said to be how our continents were LONG BEFORE us humans came to this world. This "super-continent " is what scientist believe land used to be. Over MANY years, continents moved away from each other--- that is the Continental Drift Theory. Since our continents have shorelines that match up to each other, many more people believe this to be true. :)

Crust: the outermost solid shell of a rocky planet. Our crust is covered 75% by water.

Mantle: the part of the earth between the core and the the crust. It is the LARGEST layer!

Outer Core: a liquid layer about 2,300 km. It is made of iron and nickel.

Inner Core: The inner core is shaped like a ball. Scientists say the outer core is made mostly of iron and nickel. This layer is solid and the SMALLEST layer of our planet.

Transform plates: These plates slide BESIDE each other!

Earthquakes Can Make Transportation Tough

# data[].attributes.body
This shows how earthquakes affect roads--- therefore affecting MAJOR transportation.

# data[].attributes.body
This shows how earthquakes affect homes or other buildings--- the damage is quite extensive.

Subduction Plates: One plate goes UNDER another!

# data[].attributes.body
Convergent Plates: They collide TOGETHER!

# data[].attributes.body
Divergent Plates: They go AWAY from each other.

# data[].attributes.body
Earthquakes are formed by plates. When plates move, it causes a disturbance in the ground. The plate tectonics are what TRULY cause earthquakes.

# data[].attributes.body
Earthquakes can be different depending on where you're at.

If you have a tougher ground, your house (depending on how it's built) should last through an earthquake much longer or survive with minimal damage.

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.
