The seismic motion from the shaking of the earth caused huge landslides across Chile. Enormous flows of debris and water from both the earthquake and tsunami rushed across the Chilean landscape causing floods. Also on May 24, 1960 Volcano Puyehue erupted. ]]> 2017-11-15 05:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/WhateverTechBits/5jr2x748zduz/wish/207058268 WhateverTechBits https://padlet.com/WhateverTechBits/5jr2x748zduz/wish/207058488 The mankind has made a huge progress in surviving. It invented medicines, places to get healed, grocery stores to get food instead of hunting, a government to keep in line the people and live in peace instead of fighting like barbarians. Believe it or not, the Humankind has found ways to cope with Earthquakes: the seismograph is an instrument that uses seismic waves to measure the strenght of Earthquakes. It has a very loose "pen" that when the ground vibrates writes the frequency of the Seismic waves. These frequencies are then translated into numbers of the Ritcher's Scale, Mercalli's Intensity Scale or the Moment-Magnitude Scale.]]> 2017-11-15 05:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/WhateverTechBits/5jr2x748zduz/wish/207058488 aarav_chhoja https://padlet.com/WhateverTechBits/5jr2x748zduz/wish/207058539 Another thing that happened was that the earth got a Richter Scale of 7. and created a tsunami that was 1725 feet high and was told as the worst natural disaster in the whole of history

By the time they end, the quakes and their aftereffects kill 5,000 people and leave another 2 million homeless. Registering a magnitude of 7.6, the first earthquake was powerful and killed several people.]]> 2017-11-15 05:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/WhateverTechBits/5jr2x748zduz/wish/207059613 WhateverTechBits https://padlet.com/WhateverTechBits/5jr2x748zduz/wish/207060063 It is good to have a first-aid kit at hand when you live in a known Earthquake zone: even though it will not stop the Earthquake, a falling brick that hits your foot can be easily fixed with a first-aid kit.]]> 2017-11-15 05:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/WhateverTechBits/5jr2x748zduz/wish/207060063 aarav_chhoja https://padlet.com/WhateverTechBits/5jr2x748zduz/wish/207060349 The Earth’s outer layer is called the crust. It covers the Earth like a cracked eggshell. The pieces are called geological plates that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, with the joints known as fault lines. The plates naturally and continually move against each other. Usually they glide smoothly, but in places they catch and pressure gradually builds up. Eventually the pressure becomes too strong and the huge masses of rock that form the plates suddenly shift, releasing waves of energy that race out in concentric circles, rather like the waves in a pond if you throw a stone into the water. This is an earthquake. You can get the idea of how the plates shift if you snap your fingers. Pressure between the fingers builds until . . . snap!]]> 2017-11-15 06:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/WhateverTechBits/5jr2x748zduz/wish/207060349 aarav_chhoja https://padlet.com/WhateverTechBits/5jr2x748zduz/wish/207061224 Earthquake supplies kit: You and your family can cope best by preparing for disaster before it strikes. One way to prepare is by assembling a Disaster Supplies Kit. Once disaster hits, you won't have time to shop or search for supplies. But if you've gathered supplies in advance, your family can endure an evacuation (or home confinement).

Gather the supplies that are listed. You and your family may need them. Place the supplies you'd most likely need for an evacuation in an easy-to-carry container. These supplies are listed with an asterisk (*).
