• Q What is an earthquake?
• A An earthquake is when the edge of two pieces
  of the earth grind together and cause rumbling
  and shaking underneath the surface of the earth.
  The more severe the earthquake the more that
  things fall off shelves and the more that
  buildings will fall down.The less severe, then
  things like your dishes will rattle.

Question 2

• Q How likely is it that your area will
  experience an earthquake?
• A It is very, very unlikely that our area will
  experience an earthquake. This is because our
  area is not near the edge of any tectonic plates.

Question 3

• Q Where are earthquakes most prone to occur?
• A There is no technology available in any part
  of the world to determine the place, time, or
  magnitude, of an earthquake. However, they are
  most likely to occur where the plates meet.They
  are most prone to the fault line of the
  plates.Because the plates are in constant motion.

Question 4

• Q Is there any relationship between earthquakes
  and volcanoes?
• A Earthquakes can be a warning of volcanoes.
  Earthquakes can happen days or hours before a
  volcanic eruption happens. They both have to do
  with Tectonic plates and they are both can be
  very destructive.Earthquakes along with volcanoes
  can cause deaths and loss of homes.

Question 5

• QWhat is the cause of earthquakes?
• AThe earth is divided into three main layers
  a hard outer crust, a soft middle crust, and a
  center core. The outer crust is broken into
  massive irregular pieces called plates. These
  plates are moving very slowly, driven by energy
  forces deep within the earth. Earthquakes occur
  when these moving plates grind and scrape against
  each other.
