earthquake

in #natural6 years ago

An earthquake is a vibration or vibration that occurs on the surface of the earth due to the sudden release of energy that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are usually caused by the movement of the Earth's crust (Earth's plate). The frequency of a region, refers to the type and size of an earthquake that has been experienced over a period of time.

Most earthquakes are caused by the release of energy produced by pressure caused by moving plates. The longer the pressure gets bigger and finally reaches the state where the pressure cannot be retained by the edge of the plate. That's when an earthquake will occur.

how to overcome if an earthquake occurs
When in the house:

Don't panic and don't run out, hide under a table or bed.
If not there, protect the head with a pillow or other object.
Stay away from bookshelves, cabinets and window glass.
Be careful of the ceiling that might collapse, objects hanging on the wall and so on.
When outdoors:

Stay away from tall buildings, walls, steep cliffs, electricity centers and electricity poles, billboards, tall trees and so on.
Try to reach open areas.
Stay away from shelves and window glass.
When in a public room:

Don't panic and don't run out because it's likely to be filled with people.
Stay away from objects that are easy to slip like shelves, cabinets, window glass and so on.
