This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. olatunjiaa0202 https://padlet.com/olatunjiaa0202/1so1h75rjqus/wish/55939211 2015-04-06 14:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/olatunjiaa0202/1so1h75rjqus/wish/55939211 In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary, also known as a destructive plate boundary (because of subduction), is an actively deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide. olatunjiaa0202 https://padlet.com/olatunjiaa0202/1so1h75rjqus/wish/55941387 2015-04-06 15:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/olatunjiaa0202/1so1h75rjqus/wish/55941387 olatunjiaa0202 https://padlet.com/olatunjiaa0202/1so1h75rjqus/wish/55941553 divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.]]> 2015-04-06 15:09:47 UTC https://padlet.com/olatunjiaa0202/1so1h75rjqus/wish/55941553 The lithosphere, which is the rigid outermost shell of a planet (on Earth, the crust and upper mantle), is broken up into tectonic plates. On Earth, there are seven or eight major plates (depending on how they are defined) and many minor plates. olatunjiaa0202 https://padlet.com/olatunjiaa0202/1so1h75rjqus/wish/55942239 2015-04-06 15:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/olatunjiaa0202/1so1h75rjqus/wish/55942239 the worlds largest earthquake took place in chile and Approximately 1,655 killed, 3,000 injured, 2,000,000 homeless, and $550 million damage in southern Chile; tsunami caused 61 deaths, $75 million damage in Hawaii; 138 deaths and $50 million damage in Japan; 32 dead and missing in the Philippines; and $500,000 damage to the west coast of the United States. olatunjiaa0202 https://padlet.com/olatunjiaa0202/1so1h75rjqus/wish/55943366 2015-04-06 15:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/olatunjiaa0202/1so1h75rjqus/wish/55943366 The epicenter, epicentre /ˈɛpɪsɛntər/ or epicentrum is the point on the Earth's surface that is directly above the hypocenter or focus, the point where an earthquake or underground explosion originates. olatunjiaa0202 https://padlet.com/olatunjiaa0202/1so1h75rjqus/wish/56045995 2015-04-07 14:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/olatunjiaa0202/1so1h75rjqus/wish/56045995 sufaA seismic wave that travels across thesurface of the Earth as opposed to through it.Surface waves usually have larger amplitudes and longer wavelengths than bodywaves, and they travel more slowly than bodywaves do. Love waves and Rayleigh wavesare kinds of surface waves. olatunjiaa0202 https://padlet.com/olatunjiaa0202/1so1h75rjqus/wish/56046154 2015-04-07 14:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/olatunjiaa0202/1so1h75rjqus/wish/56046154
