8.1 What Is an Earthquake? How many stories was this building originally? What happened to the other stories?

Earthquakes An earthquake is shaking or movement of the Earth. They are caused by plate tectonics.

But they are clustered along the Pacific Coast. Why?

What is a Region? A region is an area of land whose features set it apart from other areas. The number of people, the kinds of businesses, and the weather.

Deformation of Rocks How Rocks Deform Brittle-Ductile Behavior

Folds Rocks are often bent into a series of wave-like undulations called folds Characteristics of folds Folds result from compressional stresses which.
