How are earthquakes made? by Anmol Rawal https://padlet.com/anmolrawal/qd8nqfs9gslx Why the ground shakes? en-us 2017-11-21 09:59:40 UTC 2017-11-21 10:53:03 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/prod/221750667/e0a8dfa266120acf9a9e6407c3be90fb/earthquake_clipart_symbol_png_1.png First anmolrawal https://padlet.com/anmolrawal/qd8nqfs9gslx/wish/209019294 Below the Earth's Crust {the ground we walk on} there are giant rocky 
plates called TECTONIC PLATES. These plates move from the heat from the Earth's Core.           ]]> 2017-11-21 10:08:06 UTC https://padlet.com/anmolrawal/qd8nqfs9gslx/wish/209019294 First Pic anmolrawal https://padlet.com/anmolrawal/qd8nqfs9gslx/wish/209021790 There are 6 main plates]]> 2017-11-21 10:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/anmolrawal/qd8nqfs9gslx/wish/209021790 Second anmolrawal https://padlet.com/anmolrawal/qd8nqfs9gslx/wish/209023056 These plates move all the time in different directions and when they come in contact or they collide they keep colliding and hitting each other and after al lot of time {hundreds of years} they try and stop the collision by going under, or opposite direction, or slide past in the same direction however speed varies. ]]> 2017-11-21 10:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/anmolrawal/qd8nqfs9gslx/wish/209023056 Second Pic anmolrawal https://padlet.com/anmolrawal/qd8nqfs9gslx/wish/209025191 It happens almost all the time]]> 2017-11-21 10:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/anmolrawal/qd8nqfs9gslx/wish/209025191 Third anmolrawal https://padlet.com/anmolrawal/qd8nqfs9gslx/wish/209025541 When that happens an earthquake occurs. During the earthquake and afterward, the plates or blocks of rock start moving, and they continue to move until they get stuck again. The spot underground where the rock breaks is called the focus of the earthquake. The place right above the focus (on top of the ground) is called the epicenter of the earthquake.]]> 2017-11-21 10:28:31 UTC https://padlet.com/anmolrawal/qd8nqfs9gslx/wish/209025541 Third Pic anmolrawal https://padlet.com/anmolrawal/qd8nqfs9gslx/wish/209026232 This is Epicenter Formation and that causes Seismic Waves]]> 2017-11-21 10:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/anmolrawal/qd8nqfs9gslx/wish/209026232
