collapsing buildings
mudslides
fires
floods
tsunami

A 6.6 magnitude earthquake went right through the town. This left more then 26,000 dead and 30,000 people injured. The town was basically wiped of the map when the earthquake destroyed 85 percent of the infrastructure. ]]> 2017-05-17 00:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_holmquist/k7ee4yzxqsr4/wish/172220093 kyla_holmquist https://padlet.com/kyla_holmquist/k7ee4yzxqsr4/wish/172225135 S wave:
The secondary wave that is slower but stronger then the p wave.

P wave:
Primary wave comes first but weaker the S wave 
 
Hypocenter: 
The movement that first accrued in the fault of an earthquake. 

Epicenter:
The point on the surface directly above the hypo center.

Seismographs:
Waves measured on sensitive instruments commonly used for detecting an earthquakes magnitude. 

Richter Scale:
A numerical scale for expressing the magnitude of an earthquake based off seismograph oscillation. It goes up by multiplying its self every time it goes up starting at ten in level one magnitude. Level one is 10 level two is 100 and level three is 1000 etc.

Mercalli Scale:
Used to measure the intensity of the earthquake. It measures the effect of the earthquake like if a building falls or wall gets creaked]]> 2017-05-17 01:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_holmquist/k7ee4yzxqsr4/wish/172225135 kyla_holmquist https://padlet.com/kyla_holmquist/k7ee4yzxqsr4/wish/172227105 2017-05-17 01:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_holmquist/k7ee4yzxqsr4/wish/172227105 kyla_holmquist https://padlet.com/kyla_holmquist/k7ee4yzxqsr4/wish/172227488 More indeapth,]]> 2017-05-17 01:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_holmquist/k7ee4yzxqsr4/wish/172227488 kyla_holmquist https://padlet.com/kyla_holmquist/k7ee4yzxqsr4/wish/172228039 2017-05-17 01:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_holmquist/k7ee4yzxqsr4/wish/172228039 kyla_holmquist https://padlet.com/kyla_holmquist/k7ee4yzxqsr4/wish/172229407 2017-05-17 01:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_holmquist/k7ee4yzxqsr4/wish/172229407 kyla_holmquist https://padlet.com/kyla_holmquist/k7ee4yzxqsr4/wish/172229555 First of all have plan and be prepared.
Have on hand batteries, a battery powered radio, Water, food, a map of the surrounding area, and be in a safe area with a strong building that will not fall and trap you under tons of ruble. Avoid places that can cause huge fires and get to high ground if you are near an ocean in case of a tsunami.]]> 2017-05-17 01:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_holmquist/k7ee4yzxqsr4/wish/172229555
