  1. How did this happened?

  2. Our earth is made up of Tectonic plates which are Forever moving

  3. Types of faults………………

  4. Dip Slip Faults  These are faults where the major movement is vertical.

  5. Strike Slip Faults These are faults where the major movement is horizontal.

  6. Oblique Faults  These are faults where them major movements are both horizontal and vertical.

  7. The intensity of the earthquake is measured by a siesmograph

  8. World’s earthquake prone zones

  9. India’s seismic zones

  10. Causes……

  11. Most earthquakes are causally related to compression or tensional stress build up at the margins of the huge moving lithospheres' plate that make up the earth's surface

  12. Volcanic eruptions, rock falls, landslides, and explosions are also caused due to earthquake, Shock waves formed due to a powerful earthquake can trigger smaller earthquakes in a distant location hundreds of miles away ,if the geologic conditions are favorable.

  13. Effects of…..

  14. Earthquakes causes a lot of devastation. It results in damage to human, animal life and property.

  15. Deformed ground surface

  16. Damage to man made structures

  17. Loss of human and animal life \

  18. Devastating fires

  19. Landslides

  20. Tsunamis

  21. Although it’s not possible to predict earthquakes, appropriate knowledge and preparation can help to minimize damage in an emergency.

  22. Before……………………………………… • Make sure you have a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, a battery-powered radio, a flashlight, and extra batteries at home. • Learn first aid. • Learn how to turn off the gas, water, and electricity. • Make up a plan of where to meet your family after an earthquake. • Don't leave heavy objects on shelves (they'll fall during a quake). • Anchor heavy furniture, cupboards, and appliances to the walls or floor. • Learn the evacuation plan at your school or workplace.

  23. ` During………………………………………. • Stay calm!  • If you're indoors, stand against a wall near the center of the building, stand in a doorway, or crawl under heavy furniture (a desk or table). Stay away from windows and doors. • If you're outdoors, stay in the open away from power lines or anything that might fall. Stay away from buildings (stuff might fall off the building or the building could fall on you). • Don't use matches, candles, or any flame • If you're in a car, stop the car and stay inside the car until the earthquake stops. • Don't use elevators (they'll probably get stuck anyway).

  24. After….............................................. • Check yourself and others for injuries. Provide first aid for anyone who needs it. • Check water, gas, and electric lines for damage. If any are damaged, shut off the valvesand report it to the authorities. • Turn on the radio. Don't use the phone unless it's an emergency. • Stay out of damaged buildings. • Be careful around broken glass and debris.

  25. Be careful of chimneys (they may fall on you). • Stay away from beaches. Tsunamis sometimes hit after the ground has stopped shaking. • Stay away from damaged areas. • If you're at school or work, follow the emergency plan or the instructions of the person in charge. • Expect aftershocks.

  26. There are many harder times We would see later in our lives We must be more vigilant to live those
