EARTHQUAKES

An earthquake is a sudden, violent shaking of the Earth's surface. The Earth is made up of four layers: the inner core in the centre, the outer core around it, the mantle and the crust on the surface. The crust is about 30–50 km thick, and it is broken into several pieces called tectonic plates. They are like puzzle pieces, and they move all the time. Earthquakes occur when two plates collide, move apart or slide next to each other.

The location below the Earth's surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocentre, and the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is called the epicentre. Scientists use a special instrument called a seismograph and a system called the Richter scale to record and measure the strength of an earthquake. The largest recorded earthquake occurred in Chile on May 22, 1960. It was 9.5 on the Richter scale.

Earthquakes are very dangerous and they can cause great damage to buildings and people. Moreover, after an earthquake there are often floods, landslides, avalanches or tsunamis. More than a million earthquakes occur every year, but most of them are minor and people don't feel them.

The most dangerous earthquakes are the ones that occur near big cities. The city of Almaty in Kazakhstan, for example, is located close to a zone where two tectonic plates meet: the Eurasian plate and the Indian plate. Almaty was destroyed or seriously damaged by earthquakes several times in the past, but the people rebuilt it. Scientists, engineers and the government worked together to make better buildings. They created maps showing the most dangerous zones in the city, and there is a lot of information available about what to do in case of an earthquake. At the moment, scientists cannot predict or prevent earthquakes, so the only way to stay safe is to be always prepared.
