Question

Arrange the events to describe how one earthquake happens.


1)The plates create great stresses in rocks near the edges of the plate

2)The intensity of the earthquake reduces with the distance from the epicenter

3)Large chunks of Earth called tectonic plates collide with each other

4)The seismic waves created at the hypocenter spread out radially and cause shaking wherever they travel.

5)The energy released causes shaking of Earth in that position.

6)The edges of the plates slide past each other in close contact.

7)The separation of the plates release a great amount of energy.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Earthquakes develop in the crust of the earth. The crust involves the earth's surface, submarine levels, down to the ocean floors. The inner part of the earth contains massive energy. Some of this energy escapes through cracks and other volcanic activity, but the bulk of it is stored within the earth’s inner part, contained in the crust.

2. earthquake formation The earth’s outer crust is held in place like a completed jigsaw puzzle, with rough edges and lines. The energy stored here causes the pieces to slide, glide, knock and move around each piece. These pieces best describe what we call ‘Tectonic plates’ (See illustration below)

3. earthquake formation After a period of time, the built up energy and movement causes huge tension in the plates, and there is massive pressure on the fault lines. This intense pressure resulting from energy build up causes the fault lines give way, and plates move over, against or apart from each other.

4. In the form of seismic waves (like water ripples) the escaping energy radiates outward from the fault in all directions. The seismic waves shake the earth as they move through it. When the waves reach the earth’s surface, they shake the ground and anything on it, tearing down houses and structures.

that's all i got so far hope this will help u

Answer 2

Answer: Event 3, Event 1, Event 4 and Event 2 (From first to last)

Explanation: Earthquake occurs due to the sudden release of energy in the interior of the earth. The steps that follows an earthquake are given below-

• Initially, the lithospheric plates moving over the earth's upper mantle collides with one another. This could be due to the convergent, divergent or transform plate movement.
• Due to this collision, the denser plates gets subducted beneath the lighter one, as a result of which stress generates at the edge of those plates.
• Because of this stress, seismic waves generates from the hypocenter, that radiates in all direction, causing vibration or shaking of the earth.
• Due to this shaking, earthquake occurs and the intensity is very high at the epicenter but as we move away from the epicenter, the intensity decreases.
