Personal Response 5 : Earthquakes

1. Earthquake is caused by the motion of tectonic plates - individual sections that make up the Earth's surface like panels on a football.Immense strain accumulates along fault lines where adjacent plates meet. When the rock separating the plates give way, sudden seismic ground-shaking movement occurs.
2. People can hide under furnitures and use their hands to cover their heads. Refraining major injuries or they can go to a safe place where it is not affected during the quake as soon as possible.
3. Yes. The scientist did not use any instruments but they can tell when earthquakes happen if plates move towards each other.
4. Well, earthquakes happens in many places including China, America, Afghanistan
and many more.
5. These countries have earthquakes because the motion of tectonic plates.
6. Yes sooner or later. You won't know the world is changing like the price increase for the rise because the weather around the world is changing so the grains can't grow so that is why the price of the rice increases.
