In my new blog I will be covering earthquakes and how you should be prepared for them. The first thing you should know is what earthquakes really are. What causes earthquakes is when there is a shift in the Plate Tectonics, which if you don't already know Plate tectonics is the process where sections of the Earth's crust and upper mantle move, or slip past each other. The place where they part is called the fault, or plane. Many times there will be fore and aftershocks to the earthquakes, which is a smaller earthquake before and after the main earthquake. Earthquakes can be big and small, so it would be a good idea to research earthquakes in your area, for example: If you live near an earthquake fault, or if large, or even small, earthquakes are something that you should be constantly prepared for. Even though you should always be prepared, just in case!
Thank you for reading, please feel free to comment!
The information you gave is great. Everyone should read it. I especially liked the part about having drills with your family. I think we should practice several times a year with our families. When they each know what to do, it takes some of the shock and fear away should it really happen. Living in an earthquake zone it is probable that it will happen sometime and we should all be as prepared as possible.
ReplyDeleteIt is always a good reminder to think about what we would do during a earthquake. I really liked how you shared a little about what an earthquake is and why.
