    earthquakes. by Borgna Brunner. earthquakes are caused by forces deepwithin Earth s interior that continuously affect its surface.

    Extractions: Although "on the Richter Scale" is still a commonly used expression, the scale , developed by Charles F. Richter of California Institute of Technology in 1935, is no longer the most commonly used magnitude measurement . One of its flaws is its imprecision in measuring the biggest earthquakes, those in the range of 8 or 9. Different methods of measuring magnitude have superseded the Richter Scale , including surface-wave magnitude, which measures the seismic waves crackling around Earth's surface, and moment magnitude, the newest method, which is based on the size of the fault on which an earthquake occurs and the amount the Earth slips. Moment magnitude is the most uniformly applicable scale.

In 1995 China put into force a law to improve emergency response to earthquakes. State media reported at the time that more than 610,000 Chinese had been killed by earthquakes in that century. Earthquakes regularly rattle the vast Tibetan plateau, including Tibet itself, the far west region of Xinjiang and Qinghai province. They are also common in southwest Yunnan province and northern areas. Quakes are relatively rare in central China and along the eastern seaboard but the northwest is frequently hit by tremors. The following is a chronology of some of the biggest earthquakes in recent decades: July 1976: At least 270,500 people die when an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale flattens the northern city of Tangshan.

87. Earthquake Detector
    The Quake Alarm provides early warning of earthquakes by detecting the compression wave (the P wave) which preceeds the actual shear wave of an earthquake.  
    http://www.quakealarm.com/
    
    Extractions: Español Provides early warning by detecting an earthquake's sound wave before the earthquake's destructive shear wave strikes your area. Fully adjustable sensitivity setting. Automatically resets and shuts off alarm when earthquake stops. Mounts easily to wall. No screws, nails or tools required. Operates off a 9-volt battery. 6" high x 3" wide x 1-1/4" deep Loud distinctive alarm to wake you up. Monitors aftershocks. Offers peace of mind and keeps you informed. Can detect earthquakes that occur many miles away. Saves valuable seconds by removing the normal guesswork involved in earthquake detection. Patented reverse pendulum detection system. The Quake Alarm is designed to provide instant warning of seismic activity by detecting the "P" wave (compression wave) of an earthquake, which travels faster than the more destructive "S" wave (shear wave). The Quake Alarm saves valuable seconds by removing the guesswork in earthquake detection. It is capable of detecting large earthquakes that occur hundreds of miles away and can detect moderate to minor earthquakes for many miles around your local area. One very important advantage of the

You are free to move around from one part of the lesson to another by clicking on the special hypertext. However, you will understand each activity better if you complete them in this order: Building Your Own Seismograph (optional) Can You Read a Quake? Where Did It Hit?

Teacher Plans Perhaps you remember being in an earthquakethe ground rumbles, hanging lamps begin to sway back and forth, shelves begin to rattle or spill their contents, the floor and walls shake.... Even if you do not remember seeing or feeling an earthquake, you have probably lived through thousands of tiny earthquakes during your lifetime. The earth is constantly creating earthquakes. Focus is the location within the earth where underground rock moves and sends out earthquake waves.

    Extractions: New Zealand's position on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific plates is the reason for the large number of earthquakes we witness. Underneath New Zealand these two huge plates are grinding together in three distinct ways. To the east of the North Island the Pacific plate is being forced under the Australian plate. Under the South Island the two plates push past each other sideways, and to the south of New Zealand the Australian plate is being forced under the Pacific plate. There is still a great deal to learn about the causes of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides. The new and higher quality information from the GeoNet monitoring network will be crucial to improving our understanding of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and landslides. The data from GeoNet will contribute to improving disaster risk management in New Zealand communities. A better understanding of the hazard provides the basis for improved readiness and reduction of the community’s exposure to risk, while accurate and timely information aids the response to an event and subsequent recovery.

The American Red Cross had been working with the Turkish Red Crescent Society to provide assistance to victims, funneling supplies, financial assistance and human resources into the area. A year after the first quake, the American Red Cross and the Turkish Red Crescent entered into a mutually beneficial partnership to build capacity for response to future earthquakes, with an emphasis on high population, urban, high-risk areas.
