 Causes of Earthquakes

1. Volcanic Eruptions -volcanic activities

-plates are moving, thus
2. Tectonic Movements affecting the crust

- displacement of plates creates

3. Geological Faults the fracturing of rocks, which
releases a lot of energy.

4. Man-made -blasting activities

5. Minor causes -landslides, avalanche, etc.

What is
a FAULT?
- it is a

Earth’s
crust, and
along the
break,
significant
movement
has taken
place.

 Types of Fault
Normal faults form when the
hanging wall drops down in
relation to the footwall.
Extensional forces, those that
pull the plates apart, and
gravity are the forces that
create normal faults. They are
most common at divergent

Reverse form when the

hanging wall moves up.
The forces creating
reverse faults are
compressional, pushing
the sides together. They
Dip-Slip Faults are common at
convergent boundaries.
Types of Fault

Strike-slip faults have walls that

move sideways, not up or down.
That is, the slip occurs along the
strike, not up or down the dip. In
these faults, the fault plane is
usually vertical so there is no
hanging wall or footwall. The
forces creating these faults are
lateral or horizontal, carrying the
sides past each other.

MAGNITUDE - It is the energy released by
an earthquake at the focus. It is calculated
from earthquakes recorded by an
instrument called SEISMOGRAPH.

INTENSITY – It is the strength of an

earthquake perceived and felet by people in
a certain locality. Intensity is generally
higher near the epicenter.
