INFO REPORT ON EARTH QUAKES!!! T2W8 (IS W9)

 WALT: No Walt today

Hello everybody today I have made an info report about earthquakes and all the stuff you need to know I hope you enjoy ;) (note: tsunamis are made by under water earthquakes)

It was easy because i already did 1 paragraph so I had 2 more to go and a conclusion overall pretty fun

Earthquakes By Bilal

Introduction: Earthquakes are Deadly and

destructive because of the tectonic

plates earth has. There are 20 tectonic

plates covering Earth's Crust, mantles 

and the core. Earth's Tectonic plates

are actually moving, very

slowly and sometimes the tectonic

plates actually are hitting each other causing

earthquakes

Paragraph 1 

There are Different

types of earthquakes.

A Convergent Earthquake is

when the tectonic plates move over

each other this causes the tectonic

plates to make the hills or mountains.

The 2nd type is called a Divergent

earthquake, an earthquake that causes a

gap and water goes through that gap to form

rivers and ocean. The 3rd type is called a transform

earthquake Where two tectonic plates Slip by

each other that is also called a strike-slip fault.

Paragraph 2

Liquefaction

Liquefaction happens when the soil is

loosened up and turns into a liquid and happens

in earthquakes.  Liquefaction can be made by all

the rain water before the earthquake because if

you live somewhere like Canterbury NZ, it was

predominantly built on sand and sand cant hold

that much water so then liquefaction happens and

creates a lot of mud making cars or houses into

different angles.  Canterbury is surrounded by

Rivers, Oceans and Canterbury has a really high

water table and has a high annual rainfall.

Paragraph 3

Seismograph.

Many people haven’t heard of a seismograph, an

item that measures earthquakes. Scientists use

seismographs to see how strong or weak the

earthquake is like a 2.3 magnitude earthquake

that's weak compared to a 8.9 magnitude

earthquake which is really strong and does massive

damage and destruction. 

Conclusion

Earthquakes are destructive and

dangerous because of all the faults and

the 20 tectonic plates that are moving right

now below your feet!
