Earthquake Report Text

Earthquakes are caused by a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. There are three main types of earthquakes: tectonic, volcanic, and explosions. Tectonic earthquakes are the most common and occur due to the movement of tectonic plates. Volcanic earthquakes happen during volcanic eruptions from a build up in pressure. Explosion earthquakes result from cave-ins within underground mines or caverns.

Earthquake

An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in


the Earth's crustthat creates seismic waves. Earthquake often happens
around us. It brings great damages. Earthquake is hard to be predicted and
that makes lot victims.
Actually there are three kinds of earthquake. This kinds of earthquake are
commonly base on the factor and geological area where the earthquakes
happen. These three kinds of earthquake are tectonic, volcanic and
explosion.
Tectonic earthquakes is most common one. This kind of earthquake
happens while earths crust rocks break because of the geological strength
created by moving of the earths plates.
Volcanic earthquakes happen exactly with volcanic activity. Volcanic
earthquakes are when the volcano produces acidic lava, which drys
quickly, when it drys quickly it blocks the top of the volcano. This make no
more magma can escape. Pressure starts to build up and eventually the
acidic lava can no longer stand the pressure. So the volcano is free to
explode, the pressure is released so fast that an earthquake is caused. A
volcanic earthquake is usually kept within 10-20 miles of the volcano.
Explosion earthquakes are the result of the collapse earthquakes that are
small earthquakes occurring in underground mines and caverns.
