What is an earthquake and a seismic activity?
A seismic activity is an earthquake... An earthquake is when the tectonic plates (under ground) clash together, which causes an earthquake. Earthquakes can be very small or huge depending on where the country is. They can kill thousands of people, knock down buildings and create huge cracks in the ground. They are measured on a Richter scale. :)
Which scale provides intensity maps of earthquake damage?
The seismic scale that measures the intensity of earthquake damage is called the Mercalli intensity scale. This scale measures the effect an earthquake has on people and surroundings.
When there is an earthquake what is the surface of the earth broken up into?
Earthquakes do not Break the surface of earth, its the tectonic plates rubbing against each other, the gap most people call an earthquake is the gap between 2 different tectonic plates, The tectonic plates move because they just kind of float on top of Hot Magma, its like trying to keep 2 boats beside each other on the water, they have to move because of the force of the undercurrent. I hope this answer has been of much use.
How do countries prepare for tectonic activity?
Well they can try and predict them by investing in that kind of technology as they do in Japan and also try and train the people on what to do if there is an earthquake e.g. in Japan they have a day that is all about training the emergency services and school children and other people on how to tackle fires and things like that if they start after the earthquake. Hope this helps! Kylie
