    earthquakes are caused by the motion of tectonic plates individual sections that make up the Earth s surface like panels on a football.  
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/hottopics/naturaldisasters/earthquakes.shtml
    
    Extractions: Earthquakes are 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. Of course, if we want to know why earthquakes happen, we need to dig a little deeper. Centre of the Earth

    Extractions: State and Local Information Here's Something To Think About... In a severe weather situation, listening to a news station or a NOAA Weather Radio will help keep you informed about what to do. An earthquake is the sudden, rapid shaking of the earth, caused by the breaking and shifting of subterranean rock. While earthquakes are sometimes believed to be a West Coast phenomenon, there are actually 45 states and territories throughout the United States that are at moderate to high risk for earthquakes including the new Madrid fault line in Central U.S. Since it is impossible to predict when an earthquake will occur, it is important that you and your family are prepared ahead of time. Get an Emergency Supply Kit , which includes items like non-perishable food, water, a battery-powered or hand-crank radio, extra flashlights and batteries. You may want to prepare a portable kit and keep it in your car. This kit should include: Copies of prescription medications and medical supplies;

Question - HOW are earthquakes measured? Check out this site run by the California Geological Survey. Question - What is the difference between the HYPOCENTER and the EPICENTER? Earthquakes occur when two pieces of the earth snap past each other along a fault. That fault is actually a crack that extends deep into the earth. The HYPOCENTER is the point where the earthquake rupture begins, usually deep below the surface on this fault. The EPICENTER is the point on the surface directly above the hypocenter. Question - What was the largest earthquake?

    http://www.wrds.uwyo.edu/wrds/wsgs/hazards/quakes/quake.html
    
    Extractions: The Federal Emergency Management Agency and US Geological Survey have classified Wyoming as having a very high seismic hazard. The map above represents earthquakes of magnitiude 2.5 or intensity III and above that have occured in Wyoming from 1871 to present. As can be seen, historic earthquakes have occurred in every county in Wyoming. Damaging earthquakes can occur anywhere in the state. Magnitude 7.5 events can occur in western Wyoming, magnitude 6.75 events can occur along the northern and southern margins of the Wind River Basin. And magnitude 6.25 to 6.5 events can occur anywhere in the rest of the state. These web pages have been generated for two reasons. The first of these is to increase awareness of earthquakes in Wyoming. The second is to provide citizens with a means to access current earthquake data for the state. The map above shows many historic earthquakes. The Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) and the Water Resources Data System (WRDS) are in the process of generating a searchable database for Wyoming. At the present time, only limited historic data can be retrieved. Presently the database contains records from:

    Extractions: Did you feel that? Earthquakes can be so small that you can barely feel them — or they can be so strong that they topple buildings. In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby introduce you to the mechanics of earthquakes. They’ll tell you why earthquakes happen and what plates, faults, and waves have to do with it all. You’ll learn why the crust of the earth isn’t as stable as it seems; what can happen on a fault line; and the names for the three types of seismic waves. You’ll also find out how scientists use seismographs to measure the strength of earthquakes. Take cover!
