EARTHQUAKES

For millions of years earthquakes have been

happening across the globe each year. The good

thing is that nearly all of them are too small to feel.

PLATE TECHTONICS

• Our planet is divided into three main layers. The three main layers are the

crust, magma and the solid core also there’s. Another layer that’s the mantle

but the crust floats on top of individual plates. The plates play a important

role in most earthquakes.

PLATE BOUNDRIES

Earthquakes mostly occur the at the boundary where one plate meets one

other. Techtronic plate either converge, collide, diverge, pull apart or move past

each other when they meet. When plates converge it means that one plate is

slowly pushed beneath the other when plates diverge lava, comes up from the

mantle and cools to form new sections of the crust.

EARTHQUAKE!!!

• In some places the plates become locked together. Earthquakes

leads to death, ugly cities and a ugly environment. You’ve

probably heard a lot of times in the news when a major

earthquake happens just like when a tsunami or eruptions happen

it’ll be recorded on the news.
