Earthquakes
An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault.A fault is a fracture of the earth along which rocks on one side have moved relative to those on the other side.Stresses in the earth's outer layer push the sides of the fault together.After the stresses accumulate over time,the rocks slips suddenly,releasing energy in waves that travel through the rock to cause the shaking that we feel during an earthquake.Earthquake tend to be concentrated at the boundaries of the plates.There are 7 major crustal plates on earth,about 80 km(50 miles)thick,all in constant motion relative to one another.They move at between 10mm and 130mm per year.It is estimated that there are several million earthquakes in the world each year.Many of these eqrthquakes go undetected because they occur in remote areas or have very small magnitudes.On average,about 60 earthquakes per year are classified as significant,with 19 classified as major.A significant earthquakes is one of magnitude 6.5 or higher or one of lesser magnitude that causes casualties or considerable damage.Major earthquakes have a magnitude larger than 7.0.The Great Tangshan Earthquake of July 28,1976 is one of the largest earthquakes.Many sources list it as 8.2 on the Richter scale,but Chinese Government's official sources state 7.8 or 7.6.The 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake was an undersea earthquakes that occurred on December 26.2004.The earthquake generated a tsunami that was among the deadliest disasters in modern history.At magnitude of 9.0,it was the largest earthquake sice 9.2 magnitude Great Alaska Earthquake in 1964.The earthquake originated in the Indian Ocean,off the western coast of northern Sumatra,Indonesia.The resulting tsunami devastated the shores of Indonesia,Sri Lanka,South India,Thailand and other countries with waves up to 30 m high.It caused serious damage and deaths as far as the east coast of Africa,with the furthest recorded death due to the tsunami occuring at Port Elizabeth in South Africa,8 000 km away from the epicentre.Anywhere from 228 000 to 310 000 people are thought to have died as a result of the tsunami,and the count is not yet complete.

地震
一次地震由在一种过失上的突然滑所引起.一种过失是向前地球的一个破碎哪一在边上摇动已经与在另一边上的那些相关的移动.地球的外部层压迫力一起推动过失的边.在压迫力随着时间的过去累积之后,岩石突然滑倒,放出旅行过岩石引起那个摇动的波我们在一次地震期间感觉的能源.地震容易在碟子的边界被集中.有在地球上的 7个主要的地壳碟子,大约 80 公里 (50 里) 厚的,全部是在持续的与彼此相关的运动中.他们移动在 10 毫米之间和每年 130 毫米.资讯科技被估计每年在世界上有数百万地震.因为他们在遥远的区域中发生或有非常小的大小,所以大部份这些 eqrthquakes 变未被发现.一般说来 , 大约每年 60个地震被归类为重要的, 由于 19 分类如主修科目.一个重要的地震是大小 6.5 之一或比较高的或造成意外事件或相当多的损害较少的大小之一.主要的地震有大于 7.0 的大小.七月 28,1976 日的大唐山地震是最大的地震之一.许多来源在里克特震级上把它列为 8.2 ,但是中国政府的官方来源说 7.8 或 7.6 .2004 印度洋地震是一个在十二月 26.2004 日发生的海面下的地震.地震产生了一个在近代史的最致命的灾祸之中的海啸.在大小 9.0,它在 1964 年是最大的地震 sice 9.2次大小大师安拉斯加州地震.在苏门答腊北部,印尼的海岸西部外地震在印度洋开始.产生的海啸用达到 30 m 的波高度毁坏印尼,斯里兰卡,南方印度的海岸,泰国和其他的国家.资讯科技由于在南非在港口伊莉莎白发生的海啸藉由最远的记录死亡像非洲的东海岸一样的远造成了严重的损害和死亡远离震央的 8000 公里.来自 228000 到 310个 000 人的任何地方被认为已经海啸的结果死,而且计数是还未完全.
