26. FEMA FOR KIDS: EARTHQUAKES earthquakes happen along fault lines in the earth’s crust. earthquakes canbe felt over large areas although they usually last less than one minute. http://www.fema.gov/kids/quake.htm

Shake With The Quake Story Rumble Tumble Story ... Earthquake Legends arthquakes are the shaking, rolling or sudden shock of the earth’s surface. Earthquakes happen along "fault lines" in the earth’s crust. Earthquakes can be felt over large areas although they usually last less than one minute. Earthquakes cannot be predicted although scientists are working on it! Most of the time, you will notice an earthquake by the gentle shaking of the ground. You may notice hanging plants swaying or objects wobbling on shelves. Sometimes you may hear a low rumbling noise or feel a sharp jolt. A survivor of the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco said the sensation was like riding a bicycle down a long flight of stairs. he intensity of an earthquake can be measured. One measurement is called the Richter scale. Earthquakes below 4.0 on the Richter scale usually do not cause damage, and earthquakes below 2.0 usually can’t be felt. Earthquakes over 5.0 on the scale can cause damage. A magnitude 6.0 earthquake is considered strong and a magnitude 7.0 is a major earthquake. The Northridge Earthquake, which hit Southern California in 1994, was magnitude 6.7. Earthquakes are sometimes called temblors, quakes, shakers or seismic activity. The most important thing to remember during an earthquake is to DROP, COVER and HOLD ON. So remember to DROP to the floor and get under something for COVER and HOLD ON during the shaking.

Mitigation Division Earthquakes Earthquakes, "Mega Quakes," and the Movies Earthquake Facts and Earthquake Fantasy What is an earthquake? An earthquake is a sudden, rapid shaking of the Earth caused by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the Earth's surface. This shaking can cause buildings and bridges to collapse; disrupt gas, electric, and phone service; and sometimes trigger landslides, avalanches, flash floods, fires, and huge, destructive ocean waves (tsunamis). Buildings with foundations resting on unconsolidated landfill, old waterways, or other unstable soil are most at risk. Buildings or trailers and manufactured homes not tied to a reinforced foundation anchored to the ground are also at risk since they can be shaken off their mountings during an earthquake. Earthquakes can occur at any time of the year. ( More Information What Should I Do? Before The Earthquake Strikes Protect Your Property During An Earthquake After The Earthquake Preparedness Information Preparedness planning involves those efforts undertaken before an earthquake to prepare for or improve capability to respond to the event.

Grade 7 Natural Disasters Project 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. Earthquakes are among the most devastating natural events that occur on Earth and are a reminder that our planet is a dynamic, changing body. An earthquake is the shaking of the earth caused by pieces of the crust of the earth that suddenly shift. The crust , the thin outer layer, is mostly cold and brittle rock compared to the rock deeper inside. The most common cause of earthquakes is faulting. A fault is a break in the earth's crust along which movement occurs. The study of this movement is known as plate tectonics Most earthquakes occur in narrow belts along the boundaries of crustal plates, particularly where the plates push together or slide past each other. At times, the plates are locked together, unable to release the accumulating energy. When this energy grows strong enough, the plates break free. When two pieces that are next to each other get pushed in different directions, they will stick together for a long time (many years), but eventually the forces pushing on them will force them to break apart and move. This sudden shift in the rock shakes all of the ground around it.

36. PREDICTION OF EARTHQUAKES H.L. Dunegan, May, 1996 http://www.deci.com/poe.htm

HOME WHAT'S NEW ABOUT ACOUSTIC EMISSION DECI NEWSLETTERS AND REPORTS ... H.L. DUNEGAN Prepared for presentation at "6th Conference on AE/MS Activity in Geologic Structures and Materials" Pennsylvania State University June 11-13, 1996. PREDICTION OF EARTHQUAKES WITH AE/MS? WHY NOT H.L. Dunegan May, 1996 INTRODUCTION Earthquakes account for more loss of life and property than any other natural phenomena. In spite of this fact, and the fact that we know why and how earthquakes occur, there is a great deal of pessimism from both the scientific community and Government agencies concerning one's ability to accurately predict earthquakes. This pessimism is evidenced by the large amount of funds expended in earthquake preparedness programs compared to the funds available for research concerning earthquake prediction. The primary reason for the lack of an earthquake prediction model is the inability of low frequency surface mounted seismic instrumentation to detect the higher frequencies associated with small fractures that occur prior to a large movement of a fault. The high frequencies associated with these small events are attenuated by the upper mantel and never make it to the surface. Once the higher frequency events due to small fractures occurring from a fault are detected, it is proposed that the data be handled in a fashion similar to that used for acoustic emission data from man made structures. Therefore some discussion of the procedures used for handling acoustic emission data will be presented, and analogies drawn to their use for earthquake prediction.
