  • The theory of the tectonic plates is composed of seven major and minor parts that move: South American, North American Eurasian Plate, Pacific, African, Antarctic Indo-Australian Plate,
  • A million years the earth used to be a huge land called the PANGEA but it slowly drifted throughout the years the proof of this theory is that the continents costlines form a puzzle: Continental Drift Theory
  • Tectonic plates collide with each other to release a tremendous energy to make the ground shake: Earthquake
  • Origin of an earthquake: focus
  • the line or point of the earthquake: Epicenter
  • Study of an earthquake: seismology
  • Strenght of an earthquake: intensity
  • Energy of an Earthquake: Magnitude
  • 2 types of earthquakes: Tectonic and Volcanic
  • Earthquakes produced by movment of magma beneath volcanoes: Volcanic
  • Produced by sudden movement along faults and plate boundaries: Tectonic
  • Most Earthquakes activities are concentrated in The Pacific Ring of Fire
