What is the caused of the earthquake?
The movement of the tectonic plates
The Tsunami that happens in the ocean
The movement of the landslide in the hills
The frictions between the plates in an area
These are some movements of the tectonic plates. They are:
Divergent Boundaries. It is where plates move apart
Convergent Boundaries. It is where plates move into one another
Insurgent Boundaries. It is where plates create an earthquake
Transform Boundaries. It is where plates move sideways in relation to each other.
Hypocenter is . . . .
The point where the Tsunami happens.
The point within the earth layer where an earthquake rupture starts.
The point where the plates is moving
The point above the earthquake at the surface of the Earth.
Epicenter is . . .
The point on the earth where a landslide might starts
The point within the earth layer where an earthquake rupture starts
The point at the surface of the Earth where the earthquake starts
The point when the rupture starts in the ocean
The strength of an earthquake's seismic waves is called . . .
epicenter
magnitude
tsunami

Giant ocean waves are called . . .
epicenter

TRUE or FALSE:
Scientists believe that Earth is made up of plates that float on the partly melted rock of Earth's mantle
(a)
TRUE or FALSE:
A building can be made to withstand against earthquake.
(a)
TRUE or FALSE:
A seismograph is used to detect, time, and measure the movements of the earthquake.
(a)
TRUE or FALSE:
Materials chosen to build super structure is not important, the aesthetic design is important so that the building is standout even in the area where it is prone to earthquake.
(a)
TRUE or FALSE:
Bricks is good materials for building structure like a house or other structure because it is lightweight and it is flexible.
(a)
TRUE or FALSE:
Wood is good materials for building structure like a house or other structure because it is lightweight and it is flexible.
(a)
TRUE or FALSE:
Steel is good materials for building structure like a house or other structure because it can be used to reinforce other materials and it is flexible.
(a)
TRUE or FALSE:
Concrete, mortar and cement can be used to build a structure like a house or any other structures because they will make the building stiff and strong. As a result, you do not need to use steel anymore for your structure.
(a)
TRUE or FALSE:
The higher the building is, the stronger and deeper the foundation have to be.
(a)
TRUE or FALSE:
To make a building structure withstand the earthquake, you have to make it flexible so that it can send the wave through the building up and down.
(a)
