Earthquakes
An earthquake is what happens when two of the pieces of the earth bump into each other. Earthquakes are caused by the edges of plate boundaries getting stuck on each other, and slipping, therefore shaking the area. It shakes because, when the two edges of the fault get stuck on each other, the energy is stored, and is released more strongly, resulting in shaking.
ReplyDeleteScientists use seismographs to measure the size of earth quakes. The seismograph creates a wiggle that demonstrates the size of the earth quake. The larger the wiggle, the larger the fault is, and the larger the earthquake was. Scientists can measure earthquakes, but they have absolutely no way of predicting when they will occur.
Scientists use specific types of seismic waves, and then triangulation to locate the source of the earthquake. It is called triangulation because "tri" means three, and the locating of an earthquake uses three different seismographs. The scientists draw circle around three different seismograph locations on a map, with the radius being the distance from the tool to the earthquake, and where the three circles intersect, is the epicenter.
Scientists do not understand whether animals or humans can guess when an earthquake is coming. They also do not know whether there is specific whether before or after an earthquake.
I agree scientist do not know if people or animals can predict earthquakes.

Yeah, I like your answer too. It's very descriptive.

DeleteYou did really well on this. It has a lot of information, good job.
DeleteAn earthquake is when 2 plates slip past each other. earthquake happens when a fault slips. earthquakes shake because when the faults are stuck together but the rest of the earth is still moving. they use an object called a seismograph. The size depends on the size of the fault. They do not know if humans or animals can predict earthquakes.
ReplyDeleteThey also show no records of specific weather.
DeleteAn earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. An earthquake happens when two tectonic plates slide past one another.Sciencetist cannot predict earthquakes.Sciencetist cannot find answers for those two question.
ReplyDeleteEarthquakes shake because two fault edges get stuck on each other.
Deletean earthquake is when two blocks of earth slide past one another. they happen below the earths surface. they make the earth shake because of the seismic waves. they record earthquakes with seismographs. They cant be predicted. people can not tell when a earthquake is about to happen.
ReplyDelete@ dallas B.
DeletePeople can't tell when an earth quake is about to happen but, they can make inferences around when it may happen and dogs can tell and many people have dogs and so it may help.
An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another.most of the earthquakes around the world occur on faults.While the edges of faults are stuck together, and the rest of the block is moving, the energy that would normally cause the blocks to slide past one another is being stored up. When the force of the moving blocks finally overcomes the friction of the jagged edges of the fault and it unsticks, all that stored up energy is released.Earthquakes are recorded by things called seismographs.Scientist can not predict when there will be an earthquake.Scientist can tel where the earthquakes where because of the seismographs.

They also did not know how animals and people can tell if an earthquake will hit.
DeleteAn earthquake is what happens when two of the Earth's plates slip past each other. Earthquakes occur at different places of the world that lie on the faults. The earth shakes during an earthquake because seismic waves shake the earth as they move through it, and when they reach the surface of the earth they shake the ground. Scientists can tell where an earthquake happened by using a method called triangulation. Scientists don't have the answers on if there is earthquake weather, or if animals and people can tell if an earthquake is coming.
ReplyDeleteWe agree with your statement.
Delete@ Jalynn Johnson,
DeleteWe agree but also plate tectonics cause volcanoes. Scientists can't predict earthquakes, I wonder why?
I agree that scientist could tell where an earthquake happened by using method called triangulation.
Delete@Lowrey Lorraine
ReplyDeleteWe agree with your statement
An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of earth suddenly slip past one another. At tectonic plate boundaries earthquakes occur when plates slip past each other and are normally felt only on fault lines. When the plates a sliding past each other they store up energy and when this energy overcomes the plates the earth shakes and causes a earthquake. Earthquakes are measured using a seismograph. The seismograph has a firmly planted base and a heavy weight that hangs freely, when the earth shakes the base moves but the weight stays still. Scientists know where a earthquake happened by measuring the p and s waves. P and s waves shake the ground in different ways as they travel through it. P waves are faster then s waves and that is how we know where earthquakes occurred. Scientists can not predict when earthquakes are going to happen. If weather does effect earthquake occurrence, or if some animals or people can tell when an earthquake is coming, we do not yet understand how it works.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on your answer.
DeleteAn earthquake is when two plates slip past each other. Earthquakes are caused by faults in the earth's layer's under the ground. They happen around plate boundaries. Scientists use seismographs to measure earthquakes. No scientists can not predict when an earthquake will happen. scientists use seismographs to find where earthquakes happen. Scientists do not have a definite answer to know if we can use weather to find out if an earthquake can happen.
ReplyDeleteVery true, Brett and Dylan. Are you sure you wrote this? I like it it is very detailed
Delete@ Jesse Noell
ReplyDeletei agree that earth quakes happen when two blocks of earth slide past one another
An Earthquake is when two blocks of the Earth slide past, push against eachother or move away from eachother. The Earth shakes because the plates un-stick and it releases a big amount of energy. Scientists use Seismographs to measure earthquakes. Earthquakes are not predictable. There will be broken buildings cracks in the road and maybe aftershocks. Scientists don't know if humans or animals can detect an earthquake. They also don't know if there is there is any specific weather that follows or comes before an earthquake.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all your answeres
DeleteAn earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. When the edges of plate boundaries get stuck on each other, an earthquake occurs. The shaking occurs when two edges of the fault get stuck on each other. Scientists use seismographs to study earthquakes. Seismographs measure the size of the earthquakes. They can't predict when they occur, however, they can tell they happened by drawing circles on different seismographs.
ReplyDeleteThere is no understanding on if or how humans and animals can predict an earthquake. There is also no record of weather during an earthquake.

The earth shakes because when the force of the moving blocks finally breaks all that stored up energy is released.
ReplyDelete@ Alex stevens
ReplyDeleteGood paragraph contains lots of important information and is well worded.
An earth quake is a natural disaster that makes the earth shake it may be very dangerous. It is because of plate tectonics when two plates hit each other it causes the earth to rumble. The seismograph
ReplyDeletemeasures the strength of the earth quake. I wonder how animals can guess when natural disasters are coming but, its very cool.
Scientists do not know how animals or humans can tell if there is going to be an earthquake either.
DeleteWhat makes the earth shake.
Delete@Taylar:
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said. I think it is important to know what the scientists use to know where the earthquake happened. In my answer I said they use the method called triangulation, and I also was thinking that they use the seismographs too.
An earthquake is when the ground starts to shake after two plate boundaries of the earth slide against each other. Since the edges of the plate boundaries are rough, they get stuck while the rest of the plate keeps moving and when the plates unstick on one of the faults it causes an earthquake. Earthquakes are recorded by an instrument called seismograph. No they can't, they can only measure how strong they are when they happen. Scientist use the P wave and the S wave to tell where earthquakes happen. No there is no earthquake and people or animals can tell if an earthquake will hit.
ReplyDeleteI mean there is no earthquake weather.
DeleteAn earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. Tectonic plates cause earthquakes when they are moving past each other. Earthquakes occur at the top of the mantle and the crust. Seismic waves cause the earth to shake when there is an earthquake. Scientists measure The size of earthquakes by a seismograph. Scientists can measure earthquakes.Scientists then use a method called triangulation to determine exactly where the earthquake was. It is called triangulation because a triangle has three sides, and it takes three seismographs to locate an earthquake. If you draw a circle on a map around three different seismographs where the radius of each is the distance from that station to the earthquake, the intersection of those three circles is the epicenter. Scientists still have not been able to determine whether humans or animals can tell when an earthquakes coming. or whether weather affects earthquakes
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that scientists do not know the answers to the last two questions
DeleteAn earthquake is a sudden shake in the ground. An earthquake is what happens when two fault planes suddenly slip past one another. The earth shakes when there is an earthquake because while the faults are stuck together, the rest of it is moving and the energy that would normally cause the blocks to slide past one another is being stored up. The force of the moving blocks finally overcomes the friction which makes it unstick, it then is released. Scientist measure earthquakes by looking at seismograph recordings. We can not predict earthquakes, we have tried many things but none were successful. Scientist can tell where an earthquake happened by using a method called triangulation. That question is unknown and if it is possible, we haven't understood how it works.
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake is when two blocks of the earth slip past each other suddenly. Earthquakes are started by two tectonic plates touching each other. The earthquakes usually happen at faults where the plate boundaries are. The earth shakes because energy radiates outward in all directions in the form of seismic waves like ripples in a pond. They measure earthquakes with an instrument called a seismograph. No scientists can not predict earthquakes. Seismograms help scientists find out where an earthquake happened. Neither of those last two questions have a definite answers.
ReplyDeleteYeah but i wonder if there really is weather that shows there is an earthquake happening?
DeleteI wonder that too
DeleteI agree that the last two don't have definite answers.
DeleteP and S waves can also help scientist tell if there was an earthquake.
DeleteAn earth quick is when to plates of earth rub tpgether. this happens below the earths surfice.the earth then shakes do to semic waves. They record earth quaks by using semic graphs. Earthe quakes can not be predicted eather. you can not tell when a earth quake is happining because they happen so fast.
ReplyDeleteI agree @ dalles blasek
ReplyDeleteI agree withe you
An earthquake occurs when two blocks of earth slip past one other. Earthquakes are caused when the edges of plates get stuck together while the rest of the plate keeps moving. When the plate moves far enough, the edges become unstuck on the fault and cause an earthquake. An earthquake starts at the epicenter. It shakes because when the edges of the plates get stuck together, it stores energy, and releases the energy more strongly. Scientists use seismographs to measure the earthquakes size. Scientists cant predict when earthquakes will occur. Scientists can tell where an earthquake has happened by using the seismic waves to triangulate the location of the earthquakes. By drawing circles around three different locations of seismographs, with the radius being the distance from the tool to the earthquake, scientists can tell where the three circles intersect. Weather, humans,and animals arent able to tell when an earthquake is about to hit.
ReplyDelete@Jesse Noell and Eric Fisher,
ReplyDeleteWhat 2 questions are you talking at the end?
An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. When the edges of plate boundaries get stuck on each other, an earthquake occurs. The shaking occurs when two edges of the fault get stuck on each other. Scientists use seismographs to study earthquakes. Seismographs measure the size of the earthquakes.

They measure earthquakes with seismographs. No they can't predict them. P waves travel faster than S waves. These questions don't have a definent answer.
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake is when two blocks of the earth slide past eachother. they happen among fault lines. the earth shakes because there is a mass amount of energy coming from the plates. scientists measure earthquakes by seismographs. we cant predict earthquakes before they happen. the buildings are broken and the ground is deformed. no and no.
ReplyDelete@ wade yea as far as i know its impossible to predict them
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake is the reaction from when two tectonic plates run into each other. An earthquake happens at a fault when two tectonic plates run into each other. The earthquake happens when the tectonic plates grind against each other. Scientists measure earthquakes with seismographs, a device that measures the tremors of the earthquakes. By looking at these measurements they can tell how bad the quake will be, but unfortunately they have no way of predicting these earthquakes will occur. Scientists can tell when an earthquake happens because of the sesmic waves caused by the earthquake, they use these waves to calculate where it was. scientists do not know how a human or animal could guess other than the darkening of clouds and harder winds, but that could just mean a thunder storm.
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake is the effect of two pieces of the earth sliding past each other, this causes vibrations, which shake the earth. The shaking destroys buildings and kills lots of people from the falling buildings and other rubble and debris.
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake is caused when the edges of the plates move past each other and since the edges of the plates are rough, they might get stuck while the rest of the plate keeps moving. When the plate moves far enough the edges get unstuck and that causes an earthquake. Earthquakes happen at fault lines which are the edges of plates.
The earth vibrates because when the force of the moving plates finally overcomes the friction of the jagged edges, all of the energy is released. The energy goes out in ripples called seismic waves and when the waves reach the surface they shake the ground.
Scientists use seismographs to measure earthquakes. When there is an earthquake, the base of the seismograph moves, but the weight on it doesn't and the difference of the weights position and the bases position is recorded.
Scientist's cannot predict earthquakes and probably never will be able to. They've tried to predict them in many different ways, but they've never been successful. All they can do is say that on any fault there will be an earthquake in the future.
Scientists can tell where an earthquake was because P waves travel faster than S waves. If you are close to an earthquake the waves will happen close to the same time, but if you're fara way they will not. Then they use triangulation to find exact position.
I liked how you were desriptive when you typed it and i like how you wordeed your sentences
DeleteI like how in your second paragraph that you included that earthquakes kill many people and destroy a lot of buildings, not many people included that in their statement.

ReplyDeleteAn earthquake happens when two pieces of the earth bump into each other. Earthquakes occur when the plates get stuck together, and they start slipping. Scientist use seismographs to measure earthquakes. Scientist can measure but, can not predict when a earth quake will occur. Scientist could tell when a earthquake occur because, of the damage it left behind, obviously. Scientist don't know if humans (ME!) or animals can tell weather an earthquake is about to hit. Scientist also don't know if there is a certain weather after a quake , like strong winds.
ReplyDelete@ Sara Bloemker
DeleteI wonder if there was specific types of weather what kind of weather it would be. Like you said, maybe strong winds or something?
Interesting, a volcano eruption could send lava into a fault and release it causing an earthquake and launching lava into the air!
DeleteThat would be cool!
DeleteAn earthquake is, plates from the earth bump into each other. The plates get stuck on each other then slip off causing the ground to shake. Shaking is caused from the plates getting stuck on each other which stores up energy and is released strongly. Scientists measure earthquakes with a seismograph. Scientists can't tell that earthquakes are about to happen. Scientists understand where earthquakes happen by using triangulation. They use three different seismographs to locate three different areas and where the areas are they draw circles around. Then where the three circles intersect is the earthquake. Scientists aren't sure if animals and humans can understand when an earthquake is coming and aren't sure if certain weather is related to earthquakes.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how scientist will define if there is an earth weather, but I agree with you!
DeleteI thought maybe a certain weather pattern would happen, like maybe windy or rainy or something like that.
DeleteMeara: An Earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the Earth suddenly slip past one another. most earthquakes occur on faults. the ground shake because when the edges of faults are stuck together and the rest of the block is moving the energy that would normally cause the blocks to slide past one another
ReplyDeleteBailee: An earthquake happens when two plates move at a fault. The ground shakes because of the vibrations that the plates makes when it strikes another plate. The energy is caused b the build up of energy when they slide past each other.
An earthquake is when 2 tectonic plates rub against each other creating friction. Earthquakes only happen at fault line along the plates. The earth shakes when there is an earthquake because the vibrations that the plates cause from hitting each other, shakes the ground which topples buildings and kills people. Scientists measure earthquakes by using a tool called seismographs, the base of the seismograph moves and it records the weight difference and position. Scientists can't predict earthquakes, but they can take the seismic waves and use them to triangulate to the source of the quake. The "tri" in triangulation means three, and the locating of an earthquake uses three different seismographs. Then the scientists draw a circle around the 3 points and find the source of the quake. Scientist don't know whether there is a certain weather for earthquakes and no human or animal can predict an earthquake as far as we know.
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake is when 2 plates of the earth slip past one another. Earthquake happen around plate boundaries where 2 plates meet. The edges of a fault (or where 2 plates meet) often build up energy from being pressed to another plate and when they brake away all the energy is sent out and it rumbles the earth. Scientist recorded these earthquakes with a tool called a seismogram, But scientist can not fully predict where these quakes will happen. Scientist use different type waves from traveling from the earth quake at different speeds. These waves are called "P" and "S" waves. People do not no if there is earthquake weather or if animals or people tell when an earthquake is about to hit.
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slide past each other.The surface where they slide at is called a fault. They are caused by the sliding of earths plates and they happen at faults.The earth shakes Because of energy stored up in theses faults and when it is released we get a shake. Scientists us a contraption called a seismograph to measure earth quakes if the pen makes a short line it is a small earthquake but if the pen makes a tall line it is a larger earthquake.Scientists can tell if an earthquake has occurred by the shaking of the ground and the lines on the seismograph. scientists can not predict earthquakes and when they will arrive and it it very unlike for them ever to.
ReplyDelete@ rachel lincoln
Deleteoh yeah, I didn't even think to put in the part about how you can tell if the earthquake will be small or big
At Murph, and Maddie
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there is a certain weather for earthquakes because that could make it a lot easier to predict them. Also can't animals normally sense a disaster before it comes?
@ Brad
DeleteAnimals are more medical emergency than natural disaster. Plus if there is a certain weather pattern it must be very long and detailed or scientists would have found it by now.
An earthquake is when two of the earth's blocks slip past one another.They happen when the tectonic plates move far enough the edges unstick on one of the faults and there is an earthquake and where they happen is along the fault line. The earth shakes because two faults are stuck together but the rest of the earth is moving. Scientists measure earthquakes with seismographs, and they can not predict them. they can tell where an earthquake was because of things called P waves and S waves. No there is no earthquake weather. And finally no people and animals can not tell if there will be an earthquake.
ReplyDelete@abby coogan
ReplyDeletei liked how you used so much detail and you really explained what you meant. very detailed good job.
@ Alex stevens
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Your answer is very detailed and long.
An earthquake is when 2 blocks of earth slip past each other.An earthquake is caused by 2 tectonic plates sliding past each other but sometimes the edges get stuck and when they get unstuck they move a lot causing an earthquake. These usually occur on fault lines. Earthquakes shake the ground because when the plates are stuck together energy builds up and when they get unstuck that energy is released and seismic waves move through the ground and shake everything. Scientist measure earthquakes by using seismographs. Scientist cannot predict earthquakes. Scientist can tell when an earthquake happens by measuring the time it takes between the P and S waves. Scientist do not know if there is earthquake weather or if animals can tell people when one will happen.
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake is the energy released when plate boundaries "un-stick." They are caused by plate boundaries releasing energy. The energy released is the earthquake. The earth shakes during earthquakes because energy is being released all at once. Seismographs are used to record earthquakes and the recording they make is called a seismogram. Scientists can't predict earthquakes, and we aren't sure if they ever will be able to; however we can make better buildings and structures to help protect against disaster. They can find out where an earthquake was by using triangulation. Triangulation works by measuring P and S waves, since P waves move faster than S waves do we can measure how far away an earth quake was,if we do this for three points then we can find the epicenter. We are not sure if earthquakes have to do with weather or if animals can predict earthquakes. If they can predict earthquakes we aren't sure how it works yet.
ReplyDeleteAt everyone & Finn
ReplyDeleteDo earthquakes get wide enough to swallow hole cars? because when people are driving and the road pops up the could be really bad
O yeah, That was in a movie once, the road split all the people and cars on the street fell into it but i doubt it could actually happen.
DeleteI disagree with Will. I'm sure it could happen and has we just haven't been around long enough to have recalled one.
Delete@Brad
DeleteThat would be terrible like will said I don't that anything liken that could happen. Maybe a small part of the earth opening up could happen. Usually the most damage is when building go down. I wonder if this is what kills a lot of the people.
I agree with Will I have seen it in movies but I do not think it's realistic.
Delete@ Brad
DeleteI think you should get extra credit for asking a question to the whole class.
An earthquake is what happens when tow of earth's tectonic plates collide or grind together until the building pressure is released and the ground starts shaking, causing earth shattering results. These earthquakes happen along plate boundaries or faults. Seismogram recordings show scientist how large an earthquake was. If the line isn't very wiggly it was a small earthquake, if the line is very wiggly the earthquake was big. Seismograms can locate earthquakes as well as measure them, it takes three seismograms to pinpoint a quake, once the scientist do some calculating they can draw three circles on a map around the seismogram stations and where all the circles intercept, that's where the quake was. So far, no. Scientists can't predict when or where and earthquake will hit. And if a human or animal can predict them, scientists don't yet know how. There is no weather that shows when an earthquake will hit, weather changes nothing about an earthquake.
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake happens when two pieces of earth slip past one another below the earth's surface. Earthquakes are caused when the plates move, and when they move, the faults rub against each other causing an earthquake. The friction between the faults makes energy that shakes the earths surface and anything on it when it reaches it. Scientist measure when earthquakes occur with a seismograph, but cannot predict when they will occur next. Scientist can tell when an earthquake has happened by the S and P waves that pick up on the shaking of the earth's surface. It is not yet known if humans and/or animals can know when an earthquake will occur by the weather happening during an earthquake.
ReplyDeleteI wounder if cows can predict earthquakes like they predict storms by laying down.

DeleteAn earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another.Earthquakes are caused by the edges of plate boundaries getting stuck on each other, and slipping, therefore shaking the area. When the plates a sliding past each other they store up energy and when this energy overcomes the plates the earth shakes and causes a earthquake. Earthquakes are recorded by an instrument called seismograph.No, and it is unlikely they will ever be able to predict them. Seismograms come in handy for locating earthquakes too, and being able to see the P wave and the S wave is important.These are two questions that do not yet have definite answers. If weather does affect earthquake occurrence, or if some animals or people can tell when an earthquake is coming, we do not yet understand how it works.
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. the earth has tectonic plates and at the edges of the plates are plate boundary's and they are made up of volts and that is where most earthquakes happen. the earth shakes when there is an earth quake because all this energy is building up and when it releases it causes the earth to shake. earthquakes can be recorded by an instrument called a seismograph it obsorbes the movement of the quake to be able to tel its size. earthquakes are measured in magnitude the bigger the magnitude is the worse the earthquake is. scientists can not yet understand or be able to tell when an an earthquake will happen and if animals or people are able sense if a earthquake is coming.
ReplyDelete@ Kat
ReplyDeleteI know how scientists use P and S wave to measure earthquakes but is there an abbreviation for the P or the S?
i have a guess, P-plasmatic S-seismatic
DeleteI looked it up and P is either primary or pressure
DeleteAnd S-wave is secondary wave, or shear wave
Delete@ Will
DeleteWell that makes more sense! Good job Will!
Thank you, I did my research.
Deletea earthquake is when one plate slides under another plate until the plate underneath the other plate builds up presur and releases that presure and causes the plate above it to shake or move causing the ground above it to shake which is called an earthquake. earthquakes happen at plate boandries a plat boundrie is where two plates meat. scientist mesure earthquakes with a device called a seismograph a seismograph mesures how much the ground shake it is recorden on paper by a pen that shakes when the seismograph shakes. they can not predict earthquakes. they can tell where a earthquake happened by looking at p and s waves a p wave traveles faster than an s wave so if you are closer to an earth quake they will happen at the same time and if your farter away they will happen at difrent times and they can use a device called a triangulation to find the exsact position where the two waves happen at the same time
ReplyDelete@Kat Slattery: Great answers, they have very good detail and they are very clear. I agree with your answers, they are very well said. Your answers are pretty close to mine too.
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake is when two plates slide past each other, causing the ground to shake. Earthquakes are cause at faults or fault planes. The earth shakes when there is an earthquake because the edges of the faults are stucking together while the rest of it is moving, energy is being stored. Finally the energy that was stored is released, making the earth shake. The size of an earthquake depends on the fault. But scientist can't measure the fault lines so they use seismogram recordings made on seismographs at the surface of the earth to determine how large the earthquake is. Scientist can not predict when there will be earthquakes. On a fault, scientist know there will be an earthquake there but they don't know when. Scientist are unsure if the weather affects the earthquakes or if animals can predict earthquakes.
ReplyDeleteLexi, do you think that if humans and/or animals could tell when an earthquake is about to happen, that it would be possible to find a way to make the damage of an earthquake less, or maybe even none, if we could predict and prepare for the earthquake?
DeleteI don't think that the weather would affect the earthquakes because the earthquake is happening inside the earth.
DeleteI don't think so either but it would be cool!
DeleteAn earthquake is the result when two blocks of earth suddenly slide past each other.The edges of the tectonic plates are rough, they get caught while the rest of the plate keeps moving. Then when the plates have moved far enough , the edges unstick on one of the faults and there is an earthquake. While the edges of the fault are stuck together, and the rest of the block is moving, the energy that would normally cause the plates to slide past each other is being stored up. When the two plates let go all of that energy is released. The energy is released outward from the fault in all directions causing the ground to move in the form of seismic waves like ripples on a pond. Scientists use seismic graphs to measure the seismic waves. Scientists use a method called triangulation to figure out exactly where the earthquake was. There is no definite answer to if there is earthquake weather and there is no definite answer to if people or animals can tell if an earthquake is about to hit.
ReplyDelete@ Jenna Bertke...
ReplyDeleteA seismogram is the measurement that a seismograph makes. Seismographs are the actual tool! I like your choice of adjectives "earth shattering results", your answer was very thorough and descriptive.
@ brad weidner
ReplyDeleteI like how you added that when the two plates rub against each other it creates friction.
An earthquake is the result of blocks of earth sliping past each other.Earthquakes are caused by the edges of plates getting stuck and then unstuck.The energy that usually lets the plates slide past isn't being released and then when they unstick the energy travels outwards in seismic waves. scientist use seismographs to measure the earthquakes and then they use triangulation to find the exact location. Scientists have no way of predicting earthquake and aren't sure if animals or people can tell if an earthquake is coming.
ReplyDelete@ Jonathan Finn and EVERYONE...
ReplyDeleteThe tool used to measure seismic waves is called a seismograph (not seismic graph or seismogram) and the recordings that it creates are called seismograms. I hope people will stop making this mistake.
An earthquake is when two blocks of earth suddenly slip past each other. Earthquakes are caused when to plates slip past one another on a plate boundaries. When two plates get stuck against each other and when the break free or slip from the fault it cause a quake. The energy from the plates slipping forces the energy out in all directions in a ripple form. This cause the earth to shake. A seismograph measures a quake. The seismograph makes lines during an earthquake and the smaller and less wiggly they are the smaller the earthquake. the longer and wiggler the line is the bigger the earthquake. Scientist can not predict earthquakes and probably never will. Scientist now know how to find out where earthquakes happen my finding the difference in the time the s wave hits and the time the p wave hits. Earthquake weather and animals can sense when one happens is still being researched. There is no definite answer to these questions.
ReplyDelete@ Matthew Buddy
DeleteI agree because what I said is similar to what you said.
every one basically has the same answer.
DeleteAn earthquake is when two blocks of the earth slide past one another. When they slide past each other its called a a fault or fault pane which causes the earth to shake. Earthquakes are caused by plates moving slow, bumping into each other and sliding past each other. Since the edges of the plates are rough the plates get stuck while the others are still moving around. Many of the earthquakes occur around the world at the fault lines, which are the edges of the plates. The earth shakes when there is an earthquake. The edges of the faults are stuck together, and other blocks are moving. The blocks slide one past another when the energy is being stored up.

DeleteA earthquake is when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past each other. A earthquake is caused when two plates pass each other and there form at a fault or fault plane. The reason why the earth shakes is because the earth has a hypocenter. Scientist measure earthquake by using a seismograph. No, in fact they may never predict when a earthquake will happen because they have tried in the pass and they have not been successful.They can tell when P waves and S waves change in a curtain spot. That is two question that can not be answered. If weather does affect earthquake occurrence, or if some animals or people can tell when an earthquake is coming, we do not yet understand how they do it.

An earthquake happens when two blocks slide past one another which can be hard for scientists to predict.-Dominic Deutsch
ReplyDeleteMrs.Hoffman,
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another.The location below the earth's surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is called the epicenter.
The size of an earthquake depends on the size of the fault and the amount of slip on the fault but that’s not something scientists can simply measure with a measuring tape since faults are many kilometers deep beneath the earth’s sur If weather does affect earthquake occurrence, or if some animals or people can tell when an earthquake is coming, we do not yet understand how it works.face.They use these things called Seismograms to tell where the earthquake happened.no scientist cannot predict earthquakes.
i agree with dominic
ReplyDelete@Kamal
ReplyDeletei agree with you because I feel your answer is correct and in my answer I put basically have some of the same answers as you.
An earthquake is what happens when two of the pieces of the earth bump into each other. Earthquakes are caused by the edges of plate boundaries getting stuck on each other, and slipping, therefore shaking the area. It shakes because, when the two edges of the fault get stuck on each other, the energy is stored, and is released more strongly, resulting in shaking.
ReplyDeleteScientists use seismographs to measure the size of earth quakes. The seismograph creates a wiggle that demonstrates the size of the earth quake. The larger the wiggle, the larger the fault is, and the larger the earthquake was. Scientists can measure earthquakes, but they have absolutely no way of predicting when they will occur.
Scientists use specific types of seismic waves, and then triangulation to locate the source of the earthquake. It is called triangulation because "tri" means three, and the locating of an earthquake uses three different seismographs. The scientists draw circle around three different seismograph locations on a map, with the radius being the distance from the tool to the earthquake, and where the three circles intersect, is the epicenter.An earthquake is when two blocks of the earth slide past one another. When they slide past each other its called a a fault or fault pane which causes the earth to shake. Earthquakes are caused by plates moving slow, bumping into each other and sliding past each other. Since the edges of the plates are rough the plates get stuck while the others are still moving around. Many of the earthquakes occur around the world at the fault lines, which are the edges of the plates. The earth shakes when there is an earthquake. The edges of the faults are stuck together, and other blocks are moving. The blocks slide one past another when the energy is being stored up. After the force of the block finally overcomes the friction of the edge of the fault, it unsticks which allows all of the energy release. The scientists use the seismogram recordings to determine how large the earthquake is. Many scientists are not able to predict the earthquakes and will not be able to. Seismograms help them know that P waves & S waves are important. The P waves are faster than S waves and it allows the scientists to know where the earthquake was. Earth weather hasn't been defined yet but it does effect earthquakes. Scientists do not yet know if animals and people know when an earthquake is coming.

a earthquake is what happends when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another.
ReplyDeleteThe crust and the top of the mantle make up a thin skin on the surface of our planet. But this skin is not all in one piece –
the layers r a cone with green , yellow grey and black ..
So how do they measure an earthquake? They use the seismogram recordings made on the seismographs at the surface of the earth to determine how large the earth is . A short wiggly line that doesn’t wiggle very much means a small earthquake,
no it is very hard for Scientists to predict when earthquakes happend . some Scientists can predict the time and date but never when it is gonna happend ...
no body can tell when a earthquake gonna hit .
the Scientists can tell when a earthquake just past by looking a the houses and the ground the people the damage it cause the people ..

ReplyDeleteA earthquake is what happens when 2 blocks of earth suddenly slip past each other.Earthquakes are caused by plates slide past each other also known as tectonic plates.The earth shakes when there is a earthquake because when edges of faults are stuck together the rest of the block is moving and the energy is stored up and it releases and sends out seismic waves that shake the earth.They measure a earthquake by using recordings on a siesmograph at the surface of the earth to determine how large the earthquake is.Scientist can tell where earthquakes will accure because of siesmographs show P waves and S waves P waves also travel faster than S waves.If animals and people can predict when a earthquakes will happen scientist do not yet know how it works.

Deletean earthquake is when the ground shakes.-earthquakes happen because the plates in the ground touch or hit one another.-most earthquakes happen around the outer core.-They use the seismogram recordings made on the seismographs at the surface of the earth to measure earthquakes.-It is also very unlikely that scientists will ever be able to predict earthquakes.

No they can't predict earthquakes but they tried a lot of different ways to predict an earthquake.Scientists can tell where there is an earthquake coming their seismogram recordings system.Animals can tell when an earthquake is coming but I think some people can.
ReplyDelete@Erin Pegg
DeleteI thought that yours was worded nicely and I liked how you added information in yours from teh arrticle
A earthquake is when for example say to objects in the earth slip past one another witch causes the ground to shake. When a plate tectonic gets stuck and has enough force of built up energy it continuse to slide in til it gets stuck and with all the presure built up in it it causes an earthquake. Scientist use something called a seismograph witch they record seismograms to keep track. they have something called a p wave and a s wave a p wave moves faster before the s wave witch comes after the s wave. So there might be little damage or there might be major damage done where the earthquake hit. No scientist can not predict earthquakes they have tried many differnt ways to predict an earthquake but they all have failed in that so far.There is not a definet answer yet, but they think that some animals and people can tell when one will come. They do not understand yet how some people and animals can tell but it just depends on it. They do not know if there is earthquake weather or if there is not a earthquake weather yet.
ReplyDelete@Kylie Lonneman
ReplyDeleteI like your because I like how you did your paragraphs.
i say that the plate tetonics on the earth when they rub and then make a quake that is neat how it works and the fact that they fit together like a puzule piece i think is true and that the crust cant get as hot as the mantel and that undergroud like until fifty feet is weird because it is closer to the core and should be hotter and i didnt know that the plate tectonics have different forces and that they can produce different power thatn others and can make more powerful earthquakes than others.
ReplyDeletei like u post because u explained everything relay good and it was a good post by Kyle bearse
DeleteEarthquakes are caused when to plates slip past one another on a plate boundaries. When two plates get stuck against each other and when they break free or slip free from the fault it cause a quake which shacks the ground. The energy from the plates slipping forces the energy out in all directions in a ripple form. This cause the earth to shake. A seismograph measures a quake. The seismograph makes lines during an earthquake and the smaller and less swiggly they are the smaller the earthquake. The longer and swiggler the line is the bigger the earthquake. Scientist can not predict earthquakes and probably never will. Scientist now know how to find out where earthquakes happen my finding the difference in the time the s wave hits and the time the p wave hits. Earthquake weather and animals can sense when one happens is still being researched. There is no definite answer to these questions.

ReplyDeleteWhen two blocks of earth slip past echother. The moving of the tectonic plats, and they happen around the plate boudrys. Scientist mesuer the earthqwakes by using seismogram recordings. they can find were a qwake is going to be by using p and s waves. There is no real answer yet but if they can or do happen they have not found out yet.
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake happens by two blocks lip past another.it can happen by a forshock.cuase the layers are moving.scientist measure it by a instrument.yes.by a instrument.animals can but peaple like scientist can.
ReplyDeleteA earthquake is when two tectonic plates slip past one another at the plate boundary. We shake when an earthquake occurs because the plate is still moving when it hits the other plate. So even if its stuck, the rest of the plate moves. Scientist measure them with seismographs. It sits on a base and when an earthquake occurs the base moves, but not a string that is attached to a wait. The wait picks up all of the force and energy, which the scientists can analyze. Scientist have no way of knowing when will occur. They can use the seismographs to see where they are going to happen. Scientist don't know if there is a specific weather pattern when an earthquake occurs. They also don't know if humans and animals can tell when one will happen.
ReplyDeleteolivia yours was good but put more info
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake is created when 2 plates slide past one another it creates a vibration in the ground which causes the ground to shake.There is a shock called a foreshock which is little earthquakes that come before a mainquake which is a big earthquakes and the mainquakes always have an aftershock following it.The crust is made up of many pieces like a puzzle,but these pieces keep moving around slowly.Earthquakes are recorded by a machine called a siesmographand the size of an earthquake is called a magnitude.
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another.The earth has four major layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle and crust. The crust and the top of the mantle make up a thin skin on the surface of our planet.The plate boundaries are made up of many faults, and most of the earthquakes around the world occur on these faults.They happen were ever there are tectonic plates. While the edges of faults are stuck together, and the rest of the block is moving, the energy that would normally cause the blocks to slide past one another is being stored up. When the force of the moving blocks finally overcomes the friction of the jagged edges of the fault and it unsticks, all that stored up energy is released.Earthquakes are recorded by instruments called seismographs. The recording they make is called a seismogram.Seismograms come in handy for locating earthquakes too, and being able to see the P wave and the S wave is important. You learned how P & S waves each shake the ground in different ways as they travel through it. P waves are also faster than S waves, and this fact is what allows us to tell where an earthquake was. No, and it is unlikely they will ever be able to predict them. Scientists have tried many different ways of predicting earthquakes, but none have been successful. Theese two answers yet.

An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the Earth suddenly slip past each other. Tectonic plates slid past each other and move and bump around causing the Earth to shake. Plate boundaries are made up of many faults, these faults are where most of the earthquakes occur. When the blocks energy is released the energy is moving outward in all directions causing the earth to shake. Scientist measure earthquakes with a seismograph. Scientist have tried many different ways to try to predict an earthquake but they have never been successful in the process. To find out where the earthquake was scientist have to record it then scientist use a method called triangulation. They use this method to determine exactly where the earthquake was. They draw a circle on a map around three different seismographs where the radius of each is the distance from that station to the earthquake. The intersection of those three circles is the epicenter. This is the method they use to determine where the earthquake was. Scientist say that it is very hard to determine if people or animals can predict an earthquake or not. They still do not have the answers to this yet.
ReplyDeleteI think an earthquake is when the earth shake's, and people can die or get hurt really bad, and homes get destroyed. 2. The thing that causes earthquake's is the plate's on the earths crust slip and collide into each other.I think that the plate's collapse and fall down onto the ground and that's how an earthquake happens.
ReplyDeletethat's not all that can happen people can get saved!
Delete@ key
A earthquake is either three things
ReplyDelete1. two tectonic plates are are pushed apart by tension build up at the divergent boundaries.
2. two tectonic plates are colliding with one and another,one goes underneath one at the Convergent boundaries.
3. two tectonic plates are sliding and scraping past each other and this happens at the transforming boundaries.
An earthquake is when two boundaries of the earth suddenly slip past one another. What causes earthquake is since the edges of the plates are rough they get stuck while the rest of the plate keeps moving. When the plate has moved far enough the edges unstick on one of the faults and there is an earthquakes. Earthquakes happen almost everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThe earth shakes when there is an earthquake because While the edges of faults are stuck together, and the rest of the block is moving the energy that would normally cause the boundaries to slide past one another is being stored up. When the force of the moving boundaries finally unsticks all that stored up energy is released. The energy goes outward from the fault in all directions in the form of seismic waves like ripples on a pond. The seismic waves shake the earth as they move through it, and when the waves reach the earth’s surface, they shake the ground and anything on it.Scientists use seismographs to measure the size of earth quakes. The seismograph creates a wiggle that demonstrates the size of the earth quake. The larger the wiggle, the larger the fault is, and the larger the earthquake was. Scientists can measure earthquakes, but they have absolutely no way of predicting when they will occur.
Scientists use specific types of seismic waves, and then triangulation to locate the source of the earthquake. It is called triangulation because "tri" means three, and the locating of an earthquake uses three different seismographs. The scientists draw circle around three different seismograph locations on a map, with the radius being the distance from the tool to the earthquake, and where the three circles intersect, is the epicenter.
Scientists do not understand whether animals or humans can guess when an earthquake is coming. They also do not know whether there is specific whether before or after an earthquake.
An earthquake is when to blocks of the earth soddenly pass each other. An earthquake is caused by when two tectonic plates rubbing against one another and they mostly occur between the plate boundaries. The energy that is usually moving the plate is being stored up and finally the energy is realist causing an earthquake that is moving in all directions. Scientist record earthquakes by using a seismograph and they measure earthquakes by using a seismogram. Seismogram also let you locate the earthquake by letting you know if its a p or a s wave. No they can not they have tried but it never worked. So far they have not been able to tell if their is a weather for it or if animals and people cn tell

ReplyDeleteluster: Minerals can be described as metallic, pearly, glassy, silky, greasy, brillant, or dull.
streak: this is the color of the streak made by rubbing a mineral across a hard, rough surface like a bathroom tile.
Cleavage: hen certain minerals break in a definite way..
Hardness: is measured by seeing how easy it is to scratch a mineral.
Specific Gravity : of a mineral is its relative weight compared to the weight of an equal volume of water. It determines the density of the mineral.

ReplyDeleteAn earthquake is what happens when two blocks of earth slip past one another. What causes earthquakes is when tectonic plates bump or rub against each other.
