Earthquakes

 Earthquake is the shaking of the Earth’s surface resulting from a sudden release of energy into the Earth’s lithosphere that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes can range in size from those that are so weak that they cannot be felt violent enough to propel objects and people into the air, and wreak havoc across entire cities. The seismicity, or seismic activity, of an area is the frequency, type, and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.

At the Earth’s surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and displacing or disrupting the ground. When the epicenter of a large earthquake is located offshore, the seabed may be displaced sufficiently to cause a tsunami. Earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally, volcanic activity.

In its most general sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event—whether natural or caused by humans—that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults but also by other events such as volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear tests. An earthquake’s point of initial rupture is called its hypocenter or focus.

My personal blog:

Hello my name is adir and im sixteen years old.

4 months ago me and my family went  to japan and We’ve been there for 3 weeks. we had a lot of fun. we went to Disney land and to a lot of a good places. in the second week,we went to the mall . And to a lot of natural parks , my siblings really loves the natural places , we also went to the zoo. it was really fun but scary cause there’s a lot of scary animals, at the end of the zoo day we came our hotel in japan and my sister gaia open the tv for the news and we saw that maybe there is gonna be an earthquake.

In the last week in japan , we went to Disneyland again. it was such a beautiful place.

then , we felt that the ground start shaking.
me and my family ran outside of the magical park and tried to keep our little siblings safe
we all was really scared.
