Earthquakes!
earthquakes by Borgna Brunner, earthquakes are caused by forces deepwithin Earth's interior that continuously affect its surface.

Extractions: Although "on the Richter Scale" is still a commonly used expression, the scale , developed by Charles F. Richter of California Institute of Technology in 1935, is no longer the most commonly used magnitude measurement . One of its flaws is its imprecision in measuring the biggest earthquakes, those in the range of 8 or 9.

Extractions: Welcome to All About Earthquakes ! Earthquakes have sparked man's curiosity since ancient times. They have also disrupted lives, destroyed great monuments and cities and created great tidal waves. After a brief tour of this site, you should know all about earthquakes. You can navigate through the site by clicking on the page link to the left that interests you most. Or you can visit the entire site by clicking on the "next page" links at the bottom of each page. At the All About Earthquakes site you will learn the history of earthquakes . We will talk about some of the great disasters of history, and how men have viewed earthquakes throughout the ages. The Science of Earthquakes has had many recent advances with new theories on plate tectonics and subduction. In this section, you will find out how earthquakes work. Many places around the world are subject to earthquakes, some more so than others. We'll show you where the danger areas are. What should you do about earthquakes? Of course, there is no stopping an earthquake, but you can be prepared for the event. We will tell you what you should do to prepare for an earthquake, how to survive an earthquake and, finally, what you should do when the shaking stops. Be sure to visit our Bulletin Board with discussion about earthquakes. If you have any questions regarding the material here it can be posted there or

Extractions: Please note, links will be checked and updated soon. Thanks for your patience. 12/18/97 Here is a lesson using the data set of the number of earthquakes from 1900 to 1989 with a magnitude of 7 or greater. I found this after browsing the Internet at this location: United States Geological Survey (USGS), U.S. Department of the Interior. I clicked on Geologic Data , and then clicked on the National Earthquake Information Center. I found the data set after clicking on Earthquake Statistics. Subject : Earth Science Grade level : High School Instructional Goal : To have students observe the number of earthquakes with a magnitude of 7 or greater from 1900 to 1989. Behavioral Objective : After observing the curves, the students will determine the movement of the Earth's plates, and if there is a pattern to the frequency of strong earthquakes.

Extractions: Origin Time 03:16 GMT Location 23.399N 70.316E Magnitude7.6Ms Depth 17 km 26 January 2001 Bhuj earthquake, Gujarat, India updated August 2001 Geodetic data from the epicentral region acquired in February were remeasured by CMMACS, Bangalore, in July to reveal postseismic displacements of roughly 1 mm/month. Coseismic displacements at a dozen historical monuments of the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India have been obtained but have yet to be interpreted in terms of subsurface rupture geometries. Aftershock data The Mw7.6 Bhuj earthquake that shook the Indian Province of Gujarat on the morning of January 26, 2001 (Republic Day) is one of the two most deadly earthquakes to strike India in its recorded history . One month after the earthquake official Government of India figures place the death toll at 19,727 and the number of injured at 166,000. Indications are that 600,000 people were left homeless, with 348,000 houses destroyed and an additional 844,000 damaged. The Indian State Department estimates that the earthquake affected, directly or indirectly, 15.9 million people out of a total population of 37.8 million. More than 20,000 cattle are reported killed. Government estimates place direct economic losses at $1.3 billion. Other estimates indicate losses may be as high as $5 billion. An informative assesment of damage has been assembled by the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, and EERI. Some
