Internal Forces Shaping the Earth. Tectonic Plates Magma is like a conveyer belt (see right): Heated magma moves up towards the crust, cools and goes.

Volcanoes and Earthquakes. What is a volcano? Weak spot in crust where molten material (magma) comes to the surface.

Earthquakes: an introduction. Hindu Mythology Japanese Mythology.

The earth has “plates” and when two plates hit each other, one goes under and becomes “molten” which means it gets so hot, the ground turns into liquid.

Introduction What is an earthquake? Consequences of an earthquake Tsunami Landslides Shaking & Rupture Liquefaction Fires Life Loss Financial Loss

Causes of earthquakes Natural Causes Human Causes Rockslides & Volcanos Plate Tectonics Plate Subduction Human Causes Hydraulic Fracturing Dams & Reservoirs Groundwater Extraction Geothermal Power Plants

Hydraulic Fracturing What is hydraulic fracturing? How does hydraulic fracturing cause earthquakes? What are the benefits of hydraulic fracturing? What are the regulations on the use of hydraulic fracturing? Example of earthquakes due to hydraulic fracturing: Oklahoma, United States https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrLRoQzb6LY

Dams & Reservoirs What are dams & reservoirs? How do dams & reservoirs cause earthquakes? What are the benefits of dams & reservoirs? Example of earthquakes due to dams & reservoirs: Zipingpu Dam in Sichuan, China https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8FBf0v plQA

Groundwater Extraction What is groundwater extraction? How does groundwater extraction cause earthquakes? Example of earthquakes due to groundwater extraction: Lorca, Spain http://www.bbc.com/news/science- environment-20025807

Geothermal Power Plants What is geothermal power plants? How does geothermal power plants cause earthquakes? What are the benefits of geothermal power plants? Example of earthquakes due to geothermal power plants: Salton Sea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRNGbLG VBuw

Conclusion Earthquakes lead to severe consequences. Natural causes may not be controllable. However, human causes should be regulated.
