Question

v. earthquake hazards
a. seismic shaking
a. earthquake related hazards include seismic shaking, liquefaction, landslide, mudflows, and tsunamis
b. · causes buildings to jolt, twist, and collapse
· usually
· can cause severe damage
b. liquefaction
a. occurs where soil and rock are saturated with water
· stable
· liquid cannot support buildings or structures
· tanks, pools, and sewer lines may float towards surface
c. landslides and mudflows
a. occur when loose rock and soil shift down steep slopes, often in areas with fractured rock
· triggered by earthquakes, heavy rain, or erosion
b. happen when water - saturated soil rapidly flows downhill due to an earthquake
· fast - moving and destructive, carrying debris over long distances
d. tsunamis
a. tsunamis form when the
· a fault movement or earthquake uplift pushes a slab of ocean floor, displacing water
· waves ripple outward at high speeds, traveling hundreds of miles per hour
· volcanic eruptions and underwater landslides can also trigger tsunamis
vi. earthquake safety and preparedness
a. earthquake safety
a. follow the rule:
b. indoors: drop to the ground, cover under a sturdy table, and hold on
· stay away from windows, furniture, and heavy objects that could fall
c. outdoors: move to an open area, away from power lines, trees, and buildings
· stay low and protect your head from falling debris
b. earthquake preparedness
·, like under sturdy furniture or against interior walls
· stock up on emergency supplies, including food, water, a first aid kit, and flashlights
· create a family emergency plan so everyone knows what to do and where to meet
· and objects to prevent injuries during shaking

Explanation:

This text discusses earthquake - related hazards such as seismic shaking, liquefaction, landslides/mudflows, tsunamis, and earthquake safety and preparedness measures. Seismic shaking causes building damage, liquefaction occurs in water - saturated soil/rock, landslides/mudflows are triggered by various factors including earthquakes, tsunamis are formed by fault movements or uplifts in the ocean floor, and earthquake safety involves following certain rules indoors and outdoors, and preparedness includes finding safe spots, stocking supplies, and creating a family plan.

Answer:

A. Seismic Shaking:
a. Earthquake related hazards include seismic shaking, liquefaction, landslide, mudflows, and tsunamis
b. Seismic shaking causes buildings to jolt, twist, and collapse. Usually intense. Can cause severe damage
B. Liquefaction:
a. Liquefaction occurs where soil and rock are saturated with water. Stable ground turns unstable. Liquid cannot support buildings or structures. Tanks, pools, and sewer lines may float towards surface
C. Landslides and Mudflows:
a. Landslides occur when loose rock and soil shift down steep slopes, often in areas with fractured rock. Triggered by earthquakes, heavy rain, or erosion
b. Mudflows happen when water - saturated soil rapidly flows downhill due to an earthquake. Fast - moving and destructive, carrying debris over long distances
D. Tsunamis:
a. Tsunamis form when the ocean floor is displaced by a fault movement or earthquake uplift. Waves ripple outward at high speeds, traveling hundreds of miles per hour. Volcanic eruptions and underwater landslides can also trigger tsunamis
VI. Earthquake Safety and Preparedness
A. Earthquake Safety:
a. Follow the rule: Drop, Cover, and Hold On
b. Indoors: Drop to the ground, cover under a sturdy table, and hold on. Stay away from windows, furniture, and heavy objects that could fall
c. Outdoors: Move to an open area, away from power lines, trees, and buildings. Stay low and protect your head from falling debris
B. Earthquake Preparedness:
Find safe spots, like under sturdy furniture or against interior walls. Stock up on emergency supplies, including food, water, a first aid kit, and flashlights. Create a family emergency plan so everyone knows what to do and where to meet and secure objects to prevent injuries during shaking
