  2. Earthquake weather - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_weather

    An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. Tectonic plates are always slowly moving, but they can get stuck at their edges due to friction.When the stress on the edge of a tectonic plate overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the Earth's crust and cause the shaking that is felt.

    What causes earthquakes? Earthquakes occur when the plates that make up the Earth's crust move around. These plates, called tectonic plates, can push against each other.

  5. Quake (natural phenomenon) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake_(natural_phenomenon)

    An earthquake is a phenomenon that results from the sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. At the Earth's surface, earthquakes may manifest themselves by a shaking or displacement of the ground and sometimes cause tsunamis, which may lead to loss of life and destruction of property. An earthquake is ...

  6. Soil liquefaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_liquefaction

    One positive aspect of soil liquefaction is the tendency for the effects of earthquake shaking to be significantly damped (reduced) for the remainder of the earthquake. This is because liquids do not support a shear stress and so once the soil liquefies due to shaking, subsequent earthquake shaking (transferred through ground by shear waves) is ...

    About 55 earthquakes a day – 20,000 a year – are recorded by the National Earthquake Information Center.Most are tiny and barely noticed by people living where they happen. But some are strong ...

  8. Earthquake environmental effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_environmental...

    Earthquake environmental effects are divided into two main types: Coseismic surface faulting induced by the 1915 Fucino, Central Italy, earthquake. Primary effects: which are the surface expression of the seismogenic source (e.g., surface faulting), normally observed for crustal earthquakes above a given magnitude threshold (typically M w =5.5 ...
