after shock
ground shaking
It produce tremors that occur before or after an explosion. It is relatively not common unlike tectonic earthquake.
Volcanic eruption

Tsunami Preparedness Checklist:
Prepare and make a disaster supply kit and have a family plan.
Readiness and awareness may protect you.
Everyone in your household should know what to carry out if tsunami arises.
Ready for the aftershocks and follow your school/work place emergency plan or instructions of the person in charge.
Earthquake safety checklist:
Arrange your heavy furniture, water tanks, and gas tank in a lower ground.
Teach each member of the family how to use the emergency equipment.
Family members should be familiar in turning off gas tank, water valve and electricity.
Everyone in your household should know what to carry out if tsunami arises.
Measures that can be taken DURING an earthquake:
Do deep breathing exercise and stay safe and calm.
Up against a wall near the center of the building or stand in a doorway.
No matter what, stay away from power lines, broken lines, and using candles, matches
or any flame are prohibited.
Determine the elevation of your street above sea level and the expanse of your street from the shoreline.
While an earthquake is taking place OR during you should:
Stop, Drop and Roll
Drop, Cover and Hold on
Roll, Cover and Hold
This refers to an offset of the ground surface when fault rupture extends to the Earth’s surface.
Ground rupture
Subsidence
Liquefaction

The safest thing to do during a tsunami is...
grab a surfboard and ride the wave
swim parallel to the shore
go to higher ground away from the coast
Which of the following best describes when earthquakes tend to occur?
mornings
springtime
nightime
there is no such thing as "earthquake time"
Disruptive up and down, and sideways motion experienced during an earthquake
Ground shaking
Ground rupture
Landslides
Liquefaction
Tsunami
A down slope movement of rocks and other debris commonly triggered by strong shaking. It may include soil, debris, and/ or rocks.
Landslide
Ground subsidence
