EARTHQUAKE

Earthquake is one of the natural disaster which is the shaking of the earth’s
surface. This disaster happens in many areas of the world. This brings many
victims and material damages.
There are several types of earthquake including tectonic and volcanic
earthquake. The tectonic earthquake is the common one and it happens because of
the movement of the crust, meanwhile volcanic earthquake happens as the effect of
volcanic activity.
Tectonic Earthquake happens as the layers below the surface of earth are
active. The basic layers are a solid crust, a hot, nearly solid mantle, a liquid outer
core and a solid inner core. The crust and mantle forms a lithosphere. It is made up
of tectonic plates. The plates are constantly moving and it makes stresses on the
crust. When the stresses are too big, it causes a fault. The movement happens on
the fault as the tectonic plates are moving. When there is a sudden movement of
the crust in the fault line, then the tectonic earthquake happens.
Volcanic earthquake is caused by sudden opening of channels in crustal
rocks, rapid changes of motion of magma, excessive accumulation of gas pressure
in the crust, roof collapses of subterranean channels emptied of magma, and so on.
The epicenter is the point or the center of an earthquake. However, the
shaking can be felt miles away from the center.

MAIN IDEA
 Descriptions 1. Earthquake is one of the natural disaster which is the
shaking of the earth’s surface.
2. This disaster happens in many areas of the world

DETAILED FACTS
Elements 1. There are several types of earthquake including
tectonic and volcanic earthquake.
2. The tectonic earthquake is the common one and it
happens because of the movement of the crust,
meanwhile volcanic earthquake happens as the effect
of volcanic activity
Reasons 1. Tectonic Earthquake happens as the layers below the
surface of earth are active.
2. When there is a sudden movement of the crust in the
fault line, then the tectonic earthquake happens.
3. Volcanic earthquake is caused by sudden opening of
channels in crustal rocks, rapid changes of motion of
magma, excessive accumulation of gas pressure in the
crust, roof collapses of subterranean channels emptied
of magma, and so on.
Characteristic 1. There is a sudden movement of the crust in the fault
line for tectonic earthquake.
2. There is the effect of volcanic activity for volcanic
earthquake.
3. There is the epicenter is the point or the center of an
earthquake.
Consequences 1. This brings many victims and material damages.
2. The epicenter is the point or the center of an
earthquake. However, the shaking can be felt miles
away from the center.
