Timeline of events Earthquakes When the Earth moves Earthquakes are caused by the motion of 'tectonic plates' - individual sections that make up the Earth's surface like panels on a football. Immense strain accumulates along 'fault lines' where adjacent plates meet. When the rock separating the plates give way, sudden 'seismic' ground-shaking movement occurs. Of course, if we want to know why earthquakes happen, we need to dig a little deeper. Centre of the Earth The Earth is made up of three main layers: The core is at the centre of the Earth The mantle is a mobile semi-molten layer around the core The outer-shell of the Earth is called the crust. Scientists call this the lithosphere - it's the part we're on now

127. Introduction Find out what earthquakes are, why they occur, and why we cannot predict them. http://www.thetech.org/exhibits_events/online/quakes/intro/

What's Shakin'? What are earthquakes ? Why do they occur ? and Why can't we predict them ? Although we still can't predict when an earthquake will happen, we have learned much about earthquakes as well as the Earth itself from studying them. We have learned how to pinpoint the locations of earthquakes, how to accurately measure their sizes, and how to build flexible structures that can withstand the strong shaking produced by earthquakes and protect our loved ones. So press the Next Button and come learn more about Earthquakes......

Earthquakes in Wyoming, Information Pamphlet 6 (PDF 1,891kb) The Federal Emergency Management Agency and US Geological Survey have classified Wyoming as having a very high seismic hazard. The map above represents earthquakes of magnitiude 2.5 or intensity III and above that have occured in Wyoming from 1871 to present. As can be seen, historic earthquakes have occurred in every county in Wyoming. Damaging earthquakes can occur anywhere in the state. Magnitude 7.5 events can occur in western Wyoming, magnitude 6.75 events can occur along the northern and southern margins of the Wind River Basin. And magnitude 6.25 to 6.5 events can occur anywhere in the rest of the state. These web pages have been generated for two reasons. The first of these is to increase awareness of earthquakes in Wyoming. The second is to provide citizens with a means to access current earthquake data for the state. The map above shows many historic earthquakes. The Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) and the Water Resources Data System (WRDS) are in the process of generating a searchable database for Wyoming. At the present time, only limited historic data can be retrieved. Presently the database contains records from:

137. Savage Earth: Restless Planet Sections on learning from earthquakes, predicting quakes, and engineering quakeresistant buildings. Uses Flash animation and Quicktime video. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/savageearth/earthquakes/

Earth: All Stressed Out by Daniel Pendick To experience the drama of plate tectonics the jostling of the giant plates that carry continents and oceans try this experiment: Sit in a comfortable chair, hold your hand out, and watch your fingernails grow. That's about the average speed of a tectonic plate. But wait around long enough, and even the tortoise crawl of plate tectonics will have dramatic and deadly consequences. Though plate tectonics is a global phenomenon and virtually invisible to us in our daily lives, it introduces enormous stresses in the crust where we live. From time to time, stressed-out crust releases the stress in sudden fits: earthquakes. More frequently than time to time, actually. If you imagine the Earth as a giant bell, it's ringing with earthquakes every second of the day from the many imperceptible clinks of microquakes to the deafening gong of very occasional but "great" earthquakes (those of magnitude 8.0 or greater). The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that several million temblors, most undetectable, happen every day. The great earthquake of 1906 devastated San Francisco, killing 700.

Welcome to All About Earthquakes ! Earthquakes have sparked man's curiosity since ancient times. They have also disrupted lives, destroyed great monuments and cities and created great tidal waves. After a brief tour of this site, you should know all about earthquakes. You can navigate through the site by clicking on the page link to the left that interests you most. Or you can visit the entire site by clicking on the "next page" links at the bottom of each page. At the All About Earthquakes site you will learn the history of earthquakes . We will talk about some of the great disasters of history, and how men have viewed earthquakes throughout the ages. The Science of Earthquakes has had many recent advances with new theories on plate tectonics and subduction. In this section, you will find out how earthquakes work. Many places around the world are subject to earthquakes, some more so than others. We'll show you where the danger areas are. What should you do about earthquakes? Of course, there is no stopping an earthquake, but you can be prepared for the event. We will tell you what you should do to prepare for an earthquake, how to survive an earthquake and, finally, what you should do when the shaking stops. Be sure to visit our Bulletin Board with discussion about earthquakes. If you have any questions regarding the material here it can be posted there or

140. Volcanic Earthquakes Volcanic earthquakes. There are two general categories of earthquakes that can occurat a volcano volcanotectonic earthquakes and long period earthquakes. http://www.geo.mtu.edu/volcanoes/hazards/primer/eq.html

Volcanic Earthquakes Earthquakes related to volcanic activity may produce hazards which include ground cracks, ground deformation, and damage to manmade structures. There are two general categories of earthquakes that can occur at a volcano: volcano-tectonic earthquakes and long period earthquakes. Earthquakes produced by stress changes in solid rock due to the injection or withdrawal of magma (molton rock) are called volcano-tectonic earthquakes (Chouet, 1993). These earthquakes can cause land to subside and can produce large ground cracks. These earthquakes can occur as rock is moving to fill in spaces where magma is no longer present. Volcano-tectonic earthquakes don't indicate that the volcano will be erupting but can occur at anytime. The second category of volcanic earthquakes are long period earthquakes which are produced by the injection of magma into surrounding rock. These earthquakes are a result of pressure changes during the unsteady transport of the magma. When magma injection is sustained a lot of earthquakes are produced (Chouet, 1993). This type of activity indicates that a volcano is about to erupt. Scientists use seismographs to record the signal from these earthquakes. This signal is known as volcanic tremor People living near an erupting volcano are very aware of volcanic earthquakes. Their houses will shake and windows rattle from the numerous earthquakes that occur each day before and during a volcanic eruption. Residents in Pompeii felt earthquakes daily before Vesuvius erupted in A.D. 79 but continued to go about their daily routines (Francis, 1993). When Mount Pinatubo in the Philipines erupted in 1991, nerves were rattled as much as windows by volcanic earthquakes.
