Hazards: Ground shaking causes damage to manmade structures, tsunamis, Landslides, rockfalls, mudslides, subsidence (lowering of ground level), liquefaction (vibrations cause water to seep up)

Earthquake Preparation: Prep home: secure tall furniture to wall, strong fasteners on cabinets, keep first aid kit, flexible connections for gas appliances, keep critical items (water, medicine, important papers in secure area, emergency communication plan with family

Earthquake Warning signs: Technology uses ground sensors to look for vibrations that could indicated upcoming earthquakes

Mercalli Scale - IX (Violent); Richter Scale

1. tectonic earthquake = occurs when the crust breaks and releases pressure at faults

2. volcanic earthquake = occurs along tectonic faults along with volcanic activities

3. A collapse earthquake = underground openings shake with seismic waves and this continues to the surface

4. An explosion earthquake = manmade through nuclear or chemical device

The Gorkha Earthquake was a tectonic earthquake
