THE FORMATION OF EARTHQUAKES by Anne Tuckwiller https://padlet.com/annewt0117/fmdncatb9vps My goal is to tell you about earthquakes and how cool they are! en-us 2015-03-19 18:08:02 UTC 2015-04-01 17:40:53 UTC hello@padlet.com Definition of earthquake... annewt0117 https://padlet.com/annewt0117/fmdncatb9vps/wish/54123370 a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.

The plates act like a hard and rough shell as to Earth's mantle. This tough outer layer is called the lithosphere.

]]> 2015-03-23 18:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/annewt0117/fmdncatb9vps/wish/54491585 What is a transform boundary annewt0117 https://padlet.com/annewt0117/fmdncatb9vps/wish/54492359  is a type of fault whose relative motion is predominantly horizontal in either sinistral or dextral direction.

]]> 2015-03-23 18:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/annewt0117/fmdncatb9vps/wish/54492359 Why does all of this matter? annewt0117 https://padlet.com/annewt0117/fmdncatb9vps/wish/54493196 This matters because we're all going to experience earthquakes, and we,re all going to learn about plate tectonics, so why not learn about it now!

]]> 2015-03-23 18:25:01 UTC https://padlet.com/annewt0117/fmdncatb9vps/wish/54493196 Who is affected by earthquakes? annewt0117 https://padlet.com/annewt0117/fmdncatb9vps/wish/54493830 People on the coasts, because many of the fault lines are in the ocean and cause earthquakes.

]]> 2015-03-24 17:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/annewt0117/fmdncatb9vps/wish/54682112 What's the difference between these boundaries? annewt0117 https://padlet.com/annewt0117/fmdncatb9vps/wish/54682695 Divergent- two plates spreads apart

Transform- two plates rubs against each other

Convergent- one plate goes under the other plate

These cracks can cause earthquakes and for volcanoes to erupt and for the liquid, magma, to seep out of Earth's crust.
