 Liquefaction: occurs when loose soil temporarily takes on some of the properties of a liquid  Liquefaction Liquefaction  hyOwsl_NY hyOwsl_NY  Aftershock: smaller earthquakes originating close to the focus of the large earthquake  Tsunamis: huge ocean waves

 Buildings or bridges may collapse or become unsafe  Bridge Moving in Chile EQ Bridge Moving in Chile EQ  Subsidence, in which land sinks, and landslides damage buildings, roads and municipal services  Fire from gas line ruptures  Water pipes might break

 Assumption: earthquakes are periodic events  Seismic gaps: places where the fault line has not moved for a long period of time, increasing the likelihood of an earthquake

 What would you do to protect yourself from earthquakes and the associated hazards?  Earthquake Safety Earthquake Safety
