    EARTHQUAKE
    EARTHQUAKE
    Objectives

    • To Define the Key terms: earthquake, seismic


    wave, focus, epicentre,
    seismometer,magnitude,Ritcher scale.
    • To explain the causes and formation of
    earthquake.
    Starter
    Describe and explain the distribution of
    earthquakes
    • Look at the map showing the plate margins.
    • Find locations of earthquake.
    Destructive
    Earthquakes are vibrations
    caused by earth movements
    at plate margins and at
    What are major fault lines (cracks in
    the earth’s surface).
    earthquakes?
    What are plate Conservative
    margins? They can occur at all
    major plate margins but
    the most severe
    earthquakes are normally
    found at Conservative
    and Destructive margins.
    Anatomy of an Earthquake
    An Earthquake is the shaking of the ground
    caused by sudden motions along faults, or
    fractures in the Earth’s crust.

    Fault
    Plates
    A fracture in the rocks that
    make up the Earth’s crust. Massive rocks that
    make up the outer
    layer of the Earth’s
    surface and whose
    Epicentre movement along faults
    trigger earthquakes.
    The point at the Earth’s
    surface directly above
    the focus.
    Seismic Waves
    Waves that
    Focus
    transmit the
    The point within the Earth energy released by
    where an Earthquake an earthquake.
    rupture starts.

    Epicentre Focus

    An earthquake has occurred along this fault line. Match the


    letter with the correct label.
    1. The two plates at a plate margin
    cannot move past each other easily.

    How do •2.The two plates


    lock together.

    earthquakes Friction causes


    pressure to build up.

    happen?
    3. Suddenly the pressure
    is released and the plates
    jolt into a new position. 4. This causes seismic waves.
    The vibrations they cause
    are called an earthquake.
    How are earthquakes measured?

    1
    The Richter Scale measures the magnitude of a
    2
    tremor (how powerful it is) using an instrument
    3
    called a seismometer
    4
    5
    6
    The Richter Scale is measured 7
    on a scale from 1 to 10. 8
    9
    10
    It is a logarithmic scale which means
    that a size ‘6’ on the Richter Scale is 10 Richter
    times more powerful than a size ’5’ and Scale
    100 times more powerful than a size ‘4’. The largest earthquake
    ever recorded was in
    Chile. It measured 8.9
    on the Richter Scale.
    TASK 1 TASK 2 TASK 3

    How do earthquakes What is the role of fault How do subduction zones


    form? lines in earthquake contribute to the
    What is the difference formation? formation of
    between an earthquake's earthquakes?
    focus and epicenter?
    Extended
    Research on how
    scientists use seismology
    to study earthquake
    formation and predict
    future seismic events.

    STRATEGIES

    EARTHQUAKE
    OBJECTIVE
    • To be able to describe the impacts of earthquake on people and the
    environment and explain the strategies to manage them.
    STARTER
    The impact of natural hazards
    can be social,economic or
    environmental.

    IMPACTS
    And it can have Primary and
    secondary effects (short term
    and long term)
    Must task
    Make two colomns and list out the primary and
    secondary effects.
    PRIMARY SECONDARY

    Ground shaking Leakage of gas


    Buildings collapsing fires.
    The ground splitting. power Shortages.
    Landslides,tsunamis.
    Destruction of farm land and
    Contamination of water supplies
