How Earthquakes Work

... Shop or Compare Prices An earthquake is one of the most terrifying phenomena that nature can dish up. We generally think of the ground we stand on as "rock-solid" and completely stable. An earthquake can shatter that perception instantly, and often with extreme violence. Up until relatively recently, scientists only had unsubstantiated guesses as to what actually caused earthquakes. Even today there is still a certain amount of mystery surrounding them, but scientists have a much clearer understanding. Photo courtesy USGS A section of Interstate 880 in Oakland, California, damaged by the magnitude 7.1 earthquake that shook the San Francisco area in 1989. There has been enormous progress in the past century: Scientists have identified the forces that cause earthquakes, and developed technology that can tell us an earthquake's magnitude and origin. The next hurdle is to find a way of predicting earthquakes, so they don't catch people by surprise.

  • Choose a safe place in every roomunder a sturdy table or desk or against an inside wall where nothing can fall on you.
  • Practice DROP, COVER, AND HOLD ON at least twice a year. Drop under a sturdy desk or table, hold on, and protect your eyes by pressing your face against your arm. If there's no table or desk nearby, sit on the floor against an interior wall away from windows, bookcases, or tall furniture that could fall on you. Teach children to DROP, COVER, AND HOLD ON!
  • Choose an out-of-town family contact.
  • Consult a professional to find out additional ways you can protect your home, such as bolting the house to its foundation and other structural mitigation techniques.
  • Take a first aid class from your local Red Cross chapter. Keep your training current.

What to Do After an Earthquake

Why Talk About Earthquakes?
Earthquakes strike suddenly, without warning. Earthquakes can occur at any time of the year and at any time of the day or night. On a yearly basis, 70 to 75 damaging earthquakes occur throughout the world. Estimates of losses from a future earthquake in the United States approach $200 billion. There are 41 states and territories in the United States at moderate to high risk from earthquakes, and they are located in every region of the country. California experiences the most frequent damaging earthquakes; however, Alaska experiences the greatest number of large earthquakes-most located in uninhabited areas. The largest earthquakes felt in the United States were along the New Madrid Fault in Missouri, where a three-month long series of quakes from 1811 to 1812 included three quakes larger than a magnitude of 8 on the Richter Scale. These earthquakes were felt over the entire Eastern United States, with Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi experiencing the strongest ground shaking.

    2 Sep 1999. Turkey's industrial heartland was devastated by a terrific earthquake Aug. 17. One of the strongest quakes of the century hit a heavily populated area near the giant metropolis of Istanbul. A large number of multi-story concrete apartment buildings collapsed, killing more than 14,000, at last estimate. Hundreds of thousands more were left homeless, injured or bereaved by the disaster. "We are facing the greatest natural disaster in the history of the Turkish Republic," Koray Aydin, minister of public works and housing, told the Parliament Aug. 18. On Aug. 20, Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit described the quake as "one of the worst in human history and the heaviest in Turkish history Amid widespread accusations of shoddy construction and inadequate rescue efforts (Turkish newspaper headlines included "Total fiasco" and "We died twice"), more than a dozen nations contributed rescue teams to search for survivors in flattened buildings. The quake occurred along the North Anatolian Fault, a long break that allows movement between plates of the Earth's crust. In some areas, one side of the fault moved 12 feet compared to the other side. The shock was the seventh large quake to rock the fault since 1939, and was rated at magnitude 7.4.

    2nd Anniversary of the Earthquake in Turkey
    In August 1999, a massive 7.4 earthquake shook western Turkey, followed shortly thereafter by a second quake. The American Red Cross had been working with the Turkish Red Crescent Society to provide assistance to victims, funneling supplies, financial assistance and human resources into the area. A year after the first quake, the American Red Cross and the Turkish Red Crescent entered into a mutually beneficial partnership to build capacity for response to future earthquakes, with an emphasis on high population, urban, high-risk areas.

    Magnitude on the Richter Scale: 7.4
    Epicenter: Near Izmit, 56 miles southeast of Istanbul
    Areas of greatest destruction: Izmit, Yalova, Adapazar, Istanbul and Goleuk
    People killed: More than 17,000 people
    People injured: 44,000
