Understanding Earthquakes: Gradual Creep and Sudden Releases
240 likes | 368 Views
Chapter 11b explores geologic hazards, focusing on earthquakes. Creep is a slow movement caused by gradual shifts in the Earth's crust. When friction hinders this creep, stress accumulates until it is released suddenly, causing earthquakes. These seismic events commonly occur along subduction zones, where one tectonic plate moves beneath another. Understanding the mechanics of these movements helps us better prepare for and mitigate the impacts of earthquakes.
