EARTHQUAKES by Gabrielle Drake https://padlet.com/gabriellemd0730/s12kzktvc4m8 This page will show the wonders of earthquakes. *ALWAYS REMEMBER! Earthquakes are caused by plate tectonics! Please Enjoy! * :) en-us 2015-03-19 18:11:51 UTC 2015-04-28 17:54:11 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.storage.googleapis.com/portrait/earth.jpg Earthquakes gabriellemd0730 https://padlet.com/gabriellemd0730/s12kzktvc4m8/wish/54488205 Earthquakes can be different depending on where you're at.

If you have a tougher ground, your house (depending on how it's built) should last through an earthquake much longer or survive with minimal damage.

An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves.

When plates move, it causes a disturbance in the ground. The plate tectonics are what TRULY cause earthquakes.

Crust: the outermost solid shell of a rocky planet. Our crust is covered 75% by water.

Mantle: the part of the earth between the core and the the crust. It is the LARGEST layer!

Outer Core: a liquid layer about 2,300 km. It is made of iron and nickel.

Inner Core: The inner core is shaped like a ball. Scientists say the outer core is made mostly of iron and nickel. This layer is solid and the SMALLEST layer of our planet.

This "super-continent " is what scientist believe land used to be. Over MANY years, continents moved away from each other--- that is the Continental Drift Theory. Since our continents have shorelines that match up to each other, many more people believe this to be true. :)

It is also the most dangerous and powerful.

This earthquake was 9.5 on the Richter Scale--- the highest the world has ever seen. The earthquake soon created a massive tsunami that killed MANY people. The earthquake shook the ground vigorously and damaged or destroyed buildings. About 2,000,000 people were left homeless after this earthquake (and tsunami that followed). This was a very destructive earthquake--- something that these people couldn't even protect themselves from. :(
