What is an Earthquake? How Do Earthquakes Occur? How Do We Protect Ourselves From Earthquakes?

#earthquake #earthquakes #earthquakevideo Hello! Today we will briefly talk about earthquakes. Earthquakes are bursts of energy in the Earth’s crust and usually occur in seismic zones where plates rub against each other. The energy accumulated in these cracks is suddenly released, causing earthquakes. The intensity of earthquakes is measured by the Richter or Moment Magnitude scale. It is also important how close or far the earthquake occurs to the ground surface. It is important to understand this connection, especially since earthquakes occurring under the sea can cause tsunamis. However, we can cope with these natural events. It is important to build earthquake-resistant buildings, make disaster preparations and know post-earthquake safety measures. With this information, we can make our societies safer and more resilient to earthquakes. In short, earthquakes are a part of nature, but knowledge and preparedness can help us minimize the effects of these events. Twitch üz
