  • The largest recorded earthquake in the United States was a magnitude 9.2 that struck Prince William Sound, Alaska on Good Friday, March 28, 1964.
  • The largest recorded earthquake in the world was a magnitude in Chile on May 22, 1960.
  • The world’s deadliest recorded earthquake occurred in 1556 in central China. It struck a region where most people lived in caves carved from soft rock. These dwellings collapsed during the earthquake, killing an estimated 830,000 people. In 1976 another deadly earthquake struck in Tangshan, China, where more than 250,000 people were killed.
  • The earliest recorded evidence of an earthquake has been traced back to 1831 BC in the Shandong province of China, but there is a fairly complete record starting in 780 BC during the Zhou Dynasty in China.
  • Alaska has more earthquakes than any other state

A trench has formed at the bend. All that folding and bending makes rock in both plates break and slip, causing earthquakes. 

    Ex: when the bumper of 1 car collides with the front of another car. the collision is like an earthquake.

The sinking of the block forms a central valley called a rift. Magma seeps upward to fill the cracks. In this way, new crust is formed along the boundary. Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form where the magma reaches the surface.

    Ex: try snapping a pencil in half. the pressure of you trying to break it will be too much for the pencil. then it will break. when you break the pencil, that is what an earthquake is like.

The most recent was about 2 months ago in Chillicothe, Ohio with a magnitude of 2.7 and a depth of 19 km. there are only 4 earthquake zones in Ohio. A couple of the earthquakes were cause by fracking.
