Please help me with thiss our changing earth
The answer of first two questions are as follows-
Answer 1.
- The epicenter is the location at the surface closest to the starting point of an earthquake. For earthquakes of moderate size, the fault rupture is small relative to the depth, so the epicenter is also closest to the main fault rupture.
- The amount of shaking and damage decreases with distance from the main fault rupture in general (except for areas of amplification due to sedimentary rock layers), so the maximum damage is usually near the epicenter.
- For large or great earthquakes, the fault rupture can be 10s, 100s or over 1000 km long, so the epicenter may be quite far from most of the fault rupture. In those cases, the damage may be maximum far from the epicenter where the earthquake started.
1 points- hardly felt
2-points- hardly felt. IS felt by the people in the constant position
3- points Weak Vibrations. The earthquake is felt by some people inside and few people outside the buildings. It is like the passage of the vehicle. The careful people are noticing the vibration of the things in the upper floors.
4- points Obvious vibrations- The earthquake is felt by outside and inside people. The people are being awoke but they are not frightened. The building is wholly vibrating. The sound of the squeak of the doors and windows the peal of the floors and walls are heard.
5- point. The earthquake is felt by the most people. The asleep people are awaking. Some of them run into the streets. Animals are being disturbed.The buildings are shaking.
6-points. The earthquake is felt by the most people outside and inside the buildings. Some of the people lose their balance. The wild animals are escaping from their places.
7-points. The buildings are damaging. The people are running out. The many of them are hardly standing on foot. The drivers are feeling the earthquake during the riding.
8-points The Buildings are damaging seriously. It causes a big panic. The drivers also being disturbed. The branches of the trees are breaking down.
9 points -The buildings are seriously damaging. The big and the panic and big alarm are caused
10- points The monuments and statutes are falling down. Causes a big changes on the ground. The brick houses are damaging and ruining. The big tsunamis appear on the water. The railway ways are bending.
11 –points. All buildings are ruining. The village houses made from raw brick are collapsing. It causes mountains collapse.
12-points. It causes the changes of the relief. All the buildings and apartments are collapsing the way is becoming useless.
If you want the answer the rest of the questions the post it in a seperate thread for rapid assistance.
