Earthquakes
Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault and this
sudden release of energy causes waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or
two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little ..... When the rocks break,
the earthquake occurs.
In ancient times earthquakes were thought to be caused by restless gods or giant creatures
slumbering beneath the Earth.
Over the centuries, some towns and cities have repeatedly been struck and sometimes devastated
by major earthquakes.

Soft ground, based mostly on sediments such as those in flood plains, reclaimed land or former
landfill, amplifies the effect of the earthquake vibrations, while harder rocks limit the amount of
shaking.

As for building design, Poor construction technique, where slab walls and floors are not tied
together correctly, for example, makes buildings far more vulnerable to earthquake damage;
buildings where the bricks have been held in place with the correct mortar tend to survive much
better.

Japan is the country where we locate the most


earthquakes? The whole country is in a very active
seismic area, and they have the densest seismic
network in the world.

earthquakes? Florida and North Dakota are the
