The Topic: Earthquakes Easier - An earthquake makes the ground move or shake. These natural events can cause massive damage and destruction. The study of earthquakes is called seismology. Harder - An earthquake is caused by sudden, violent shifting of massive rocks called plates under the earth's surface. This movement of the plates releases stress that accumulates along geologic faults. A fault is a deep crack that marks the boundary between two of these plates. Earthquake belts occur along faults around the world. Many run along coastal areas. The San Andreas fault in central California is well-known for causing severe earthquakes. The epicenter is the point on the surface where the earthquake is the strongest. The Richter scale is used to measure the amount of energy released by the earthquake. The severity of an earthquake runs from to 9 on this scale. Small tremors occur constantly, but every few months a major earthquake occurs somewhere in the world. Scientists are researching ways to predict earthquakes, but their predictions are not always accurate.

Fires...Floods...Riots...Earthquakes...John Carpenter! Hollywood's Prince of Darkness Destroys LA by Ted Elrick photo by Gregory Schwartz It's nine o'clock on a February evening. The Back to the Future town square on the Universal Studios lot is serving as a different place in a different kind of future. Technically, production notes call it the "Happy Kingdom" sequence. But it could be standing in for Disneyland's Magic Kingdom gone to hell in the year 2013. A gigantic earthquake has turned Los Angeles and environs into an island. The town square, lit eerily by torches and oil drum fires, is covered with graffiti, broken windows and some 400 extras costumed as all manner of anti-social types, from bikers to gangstas. In director John Carpenter's world, this should come as no surprise. Since his 1976 film, Assault on Precinct 13 , the forces of evil have stood united. It's the forces of good who are continually at war with one another over what to do next. In the world of Snake Plissken (actor Kurt Russell), the lead character in Escape from New York who now finds himself having to Escape from LA , the "so-called" forces of good the police and government are sometimes indistinguishable in their methods from the forces of evil.

Jeffrey Marshall, Dan Orange, and Alfred Hochstaedter; html by Joe Overton Earthquakes occur along plate boundaries, like the one shown at right between the Pacific Plate (to the west) and the North American Plate (to the east). The yellow dots represent earthquake epicenters, which are aligned along faults. As the plates move, stress builds up along faults. When this stress is released, the blocks or plates move and an earthquake occurs. The distribution of epicenters reveals that several fault zones on either side of San Francisco Bay and Santa Clara Valley take up portions of the movement between the Pacific and North American Plates. One of these faults, the San Andreas, runs through San Juan Bautista, the Santa Cruz mountains, north through the San Francisco Peninsula, off shore from the Golden Gate, and then on-shore just east of the Pt. Reyes Peninsula. The San Andreas Fault is considered the main boundary between the Pacific and North American Plates. At five in the afternoon on October 17, 1989 the San Andreas fault system in northern California had its first major quake since 1906. The quake was responsible for 62 deaths, 3,757 injuries, and over $6 billion in damage. Over 18,000 homes and 2,600 businesses were damaged and about 3,000 people were left homeless.

156. Earthquakes And The Bible earthquakes AND THE BIBLE. Californians prefer to ignore the ever AREearthquakes REALLY ON THE INCREASE? We continue to hear from many http://www.ldolphin.org/quakes.html

EARTHQUAKES AND THE BIBLE No part of the world is totally immune from great earthquakes, as can be seen from a global map of earthquake occurrences. Most temblors are concentrated on the continental plate boundaries-the "ring of fire" around the Pacific Rim or the African Rift zone running from the heart of Africa through the Red Sea, Dead Sea and Jordan River Valley for example. At least a million earthquakes per year, large and small, release a total energy equivalent to nearly one billion tons of TNT. Although this may seem to be a large amount of energy, heat flow from radioactive decay in the earth's crust is 1000 times greater. Energy released by earthquakes per year is only 10% of all energy used by man; heat from the sun which reaches the earth amounts to 5 million times more energy than is released in earthquakes. (Ref.1) There is no scientific evidence (as far as I know) that the number of earthquakes per year is increasing, contrary to the claims of some Bible prophecy teachers who seem to be misinterpreting passages in the Olivet Discourse of Jesus such as Matt. 24:7. There is more instrumentation to record earthquakes around the world in place today compared to former times, of course. Increases in world population mean that the impact of earthquakes on people has become greater. (See Addendum). Earthquakes are confined to the earth's crust. Most occur within 40 miles of the surface though a few extend ten times deeper. Stress accumulates gradually as the continental plates move and mountains shift and this is relieved periodically through gradual creep-or sudden jolts. Although some wish it were otherwise, California is not likely to drop off into the sea from a major earthquakes-the main faults move mostly sideways or at shallow angles, rather than vertically.

Gujarat Earthquake 2001 Earthquakes - An Introduction An earthquake is a sudden movement of the earth's surface. You can find out about current earthquakes here Cause of Earthquakes Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the earth's tectonic plates. Earthquakes occur where the earth's plates meet along plate boundaries (see plate tectonics page for more infomration on this).For example as two plates move towards each other, one can be pushed down under the other one into the mantle. If this plate gets stuck it causes a lot of pressure on surrounding rocks. When this pressure is released it produces shock waves. These are called seismic waves. This is an earthquake. The waves spread out from the point where the earthquake started - the focus. More damage is done near the focus. The point on the earth's surface directly above the focus is the epicentre.

Default depths of 5 or 10 km are usually used in mid-continental areas and on mid-ocean ridges since earthquakes in these areas are usually shallower than 33 km.
