Earthquakes  
Earthquakes are nature’s ways of telling us the world is constantly changing. Some changes being obvious and other are not so obvious. In the paper we will discuss changes that occur during earthquakes, where, when why and how they happen. Future more we will discuss patterns in movements of the earthquakes.
Earthquakes occur when pressure beneath the ground heats up and causes movement among molten rock and lava below on land and below the sea. To know exactly what causes the earth to shake lets look at what the earth is doing to causes such actions. In order for the earth the earth to move there are three types of plates that may be affected causing this occurrence. The plates that are in question are the divergent, convergent and transform plates. These plates can have been previously pinpointed by scientist and assumed their names according to the way they move. The divergent plates are like opposites. The reason described as this is because they move away from each other. In their movement beneath the sea floor lava emerges during high pressure moments causing spreading. Spreading is when aged bands of rock to form during each occurrences adding wider bands to previous bands. Divergent plates can be found along the Antarctic plate. The second type of plate isan convergent plate. The convergent plate can be found in several places along the Australian and Japan plates and in the Philippians. These convergent plats are seen as joining because of their movement inward towards each other. When the plates move in towards each other there will be evidence of subduction. Subduction is when one plate move beneath another. This margining can occur on or off land. One example of a convergent plate is the Himalaya Mountains This mountain sits on a convergent plate causing the elevation of the mountain to continue to rise. The last type of plate is the transform plate. Some places transform plates can be found are long the North America coast line and in...
