Earthquake is one of the most destroying natural disaster. Unfortunately, it often happens in several regions. Recently a terrible earthquake has shaken
Earthquake are usually caused when plates underground breaks along a faults. This sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust causes the seismic waves. It make the ground shake. They shake a little when two blocks of plates are rubbing against each other. They don’t just slide smoothly. The plates are still pushing against each other, but not moving. After a while, the plates break because of all the pressure that’s built up. When the plates break, the earthquake happens.
The earthquake continues during the time and afterward, the blocks of plates start moving, and they continue to move. The spot underground where the plates breaks is called the center of the earthquake. For many years earthquakes have occurred. That is why there are earthquake proof buildings. To help prevent a roof from collapsing you can make your roof out of light-weight materials. Outdoor walls can be made with stronger and more reinforced materials such as steel or reinforced concrete. During an earthquake flexible windows may help that can hold the windows together so they don’t break.
