Earthquakes and Volcanoes
The Earth's crust is constantly moving throughout the world. It moves in some places more often
than in other places. The Earth's crust moves when blocks of the earth abruptly slip past one
another. This results in an Earthquake. Earthquakes are related to cracks in the crust called faults.
The earthquake vibrations travel through the crust and the farther people are away from the
earthquake the harder it is to feel the vibrations. The location below where the earthquake starts
is called the hypocenter, and the area directly above it on the surface of the earth it is called the
epicenter.
A seismograph is a device that records the motion at locations all around the crust. The size of an
earthquake is called its magnitude. There is one magnitude for each earthquake that takes place.
The lower the magnitude of an earthquake the less damage is done to a town or city. Large
earthquakes can destroy entire towns and cities.
An underwater earthquake can cause a tsunami. A tsunami is a large ocean wave which can
reach the coastlines and cause major damage and flooding. Earthquakes may also be the cause of
some volcanoes to become active and erupt.
A volcano is a rupture on the crust of the Earth that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to
escape from a magma chamber below the surface. The hot molten rock deep below Earth's
surface is called magma and it rises upward. If the magma reaches the surface of the Earth it may
flow out as lava, or it is hurled out when the volcano erupts.
Scientists have classified volcanoes into three main categories: active, dormant, and extinct.
With an active volcano there is the possibility the volcano will erupt, and most likely recently
erupted. A dormant volcano is a volcano is one that has not erupted in a very long time but there
is possibility that it may erupt sometime in the future. The third type, the extinct volcano, is one
that erupted thousands of years ago and there is no possibility of another eruption.
In summary, an earthquake caused by a fault in the earth's crust, and a volcano, caused by a
rupture on the crust of the Earth, are related to each other and both can cause major damage and
destruction. An earthquake can also cause a tsunami, which is a giant ocean wave. There are
three types of volcanos: active, dormant, and extinct. Earthquakes and volcanos are both
considered natural disasters.
