Earthquakes are caused by movements within the earth and can cause disastrous effects on the surface. The most accepted theory is that earthquakes are caused by faults within rock rupturing. Shock waves are released at the focus, which is the underground site of faulting. There are three main types of earthquake waves - P waves, S waves, and L waves. A seismograph is an instrument that records earthquakes by producing a permanent record called a seismogram. Tsunamis are tidal waves caused by earthquakes, usually under the ocean, that can travel over 600 miles per hour and pile up destructively when reaching shallow shorelines.

passage above •Answer the following questions Earthquakes are the result of movement within the earth. They in turn produce effect at the surface that may be disastrous to man and his buildings. The most general accepted theory of earthquakes (seismic) activity is the rupture of rock by faulting. Shock waves are released by an earthquake at the underground site of the faulting, which is called focus. Earthquakes are classified as shallow, intermediate, and deep. The nearest place on the surface is the epicenter. Three main types of earthquake wave are known, although these wave types generate many other kinds as they travel through the earth and interact with one another and with the rock boundaries (discontinuities). P waves are compressing wave that move through the earth’s interior from the point of origin. S waves are shear wave that also go through the body of the earth from the point of origin. L waves are surface waves that begin near the ground and travel just below it. The instrument that records earthquakes is a seismograph. A Seismogram is the permanent record that is produced. The intensity of an earthquake is determined by the amount of damage done. The actual energy released by an earthquake is measured as a magnitude. Although an earthquake may happen anywhere in the world, most of those that now occur are concentrated around the pacific Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, across central Asia, down the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and in separate areas in eastern Africa and eastern Asia. Tsunamis are so-called tidal waves, but they are due to earthquakes, usually originating at the bottom of the ocean. They may travel more than 600 miles an hour across the open sea, piling up when they reach a shallow shoreline. •Answer these questions ! 1. What is earthquake ? 2. Explain what focus is! 3.
