EARTHQUAKES!

I  learned in geography that earthquakes are measured by Richter scale. Also I learned a lot more about earthquakes and volcanos but I’ll start with earthquakes first. When an earthquake is happening you get down and tuck your self in or you could go under something strong. An earthquake will only go on for a few minutes but if it’s really bad maybe days! Earthquakes are caused by the 2 templates under ground they could bump into each other or go under or slide up. I don’t know if heard on the news but an earthquake in turkey has happened recently. It was a really bad earthquake!

VOLCANOS!

The melted rock, or magma, is lighter than the surrounding rock and rises up. This magma collects in magma chambers, but it is still miles below the surface. When enough magma builds up in the magma chamber, it forces its way up to the surface and erupts, often causing volcanic eruptions. One of the most effective ways of reducing the risk of a volcanic eruption is having an evacuation plan. This involves ensuring evacuation strategies are in place along with emergency shelter and food supplies being planned for.
