1.5 How do plate movements create hazards?

 The important term A related to earthquakes is____?

Refer to the figure ,B is ____?

According to the figure, C is____?

Earthquake is the sudden____of the land.

Earthquake is caused by the  sudden release of stored in the rocks beneath the earth’s   surface.                                                                                              

When the stress is applied to rocks, energy builds up in the ___ layer and a fracture  is formed;

When the  energy exceeds the _____ of the rock, the rock breaks and displaces along the fracture.

               It is because when plates  move   towards   or  slide  past  each other, friction and stress  are great.  Energy  builds up more easily and rapidly at the plate boundaries that explains why ____ and transform plate boundaries produce more earthquakes.

Some earthquakes are found far away from plate boundaries,such as earthquake in the_____.

• Taiwan

• The Philippines

• California

• Hawaii islands

At divergent and transform plate boundaries,         earthquakes occur.

• deep

• shallow
