The area is also surrounded by many plate boundaries so it is a common place for many earthquakes and landslides to occur. The area is often in long periods of droughts followed by heavy showers. The area is covered with basin folds and thrust faults. There are also a lot of sedimentary rocks in the area. On August 21‚ 2012 A landslide

Earthquakes appear all over the planet‚ and there are many different sizes. Some earthquakes destroy entire cities while others only shake the ground for a moment. Faults are one of the causes of earthquakes‚ which I will tell about soon as well as the hazards and benefits they give. Earthquakes can be caused in many ways‚ some even

Earthquakes An earthquake is a shaking or trembling of the crust of the earth caused by underground volcanic action or by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the surface. The volcanic action and shifting rocks create strain which continues to build to a sudden release of pressure resulting in a shock wave. The vibrations produced in the crust can vary from barely noticeable to enormously destructive. Shock waves can be classified into two broad categories. Waves that send particles oscillating

Thesis: Earthquakes have been a natural part of Earth for many years and are caused by a shift in the Earth’s tectonic plates. Tectonic plates shift when two separated pieces of Earth’s crust push together because of the pressure of the hot air below them pushing up on the plates from the heat of the Earth’s core. This pressure must be released somehow‚ so when the pressure becomes too great for the plates to withstand‚ one part of a plate gives way to the pressure by rising above the other part

EARTHQUAKE Introduction An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves. CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKE Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the earth’s tectonic plates. Earthquakes occur where the earth’s plates meet along plate boundaries (see plate tectonics page for more information on this).For example as two plates move towards each other‚ one can be pushed down under the other one into the mantle. If this plate gets stuck it
