The shake happened, things are falling through the air, WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE?Is exactly what everyone is wondering. What has happened is an earthquake.They are one of the most deadliest thing that could happen.It is created by when earths tectonic plates shift and collide into each other. The force of the plates will cause friction witch then causes an earthquake.Also after an earthquake there is something called aftershock that happens after the earthquake including the possible tsunami,another earthquake,possible wind patterns to be weird, and much more.This kind of disaster is not always a big one, as you are reading this you might be thinking that nothing is happening but really there are always earthquakes that are happening below your feet every second!
My Opinion
There is a device that tracks earthquakes it is called a seismograph and it has a paper called a seismogram that tells when there is an earthquake happening.It also can tell you how big or small the earthquake is.Every earthquake has a number that tells what size it is.There are not a lot of these stations that carry all of this equipment in it.Evan though they are very strong,they should have more across America and the world.
