Earthquakes are a series of vibrations included in the earth's crust by an abrupt repture and rebound of rocks in which elastic strain has been slowing accumulating. The waves that are felt are made by seismic waves.
After looking on multiple sites about the Hati earthquake I found that the earthquake was a 7.0 quake, the most powerful one to hit Hati in a century. Some earthquakes, like the one in Hati, can be felt up to 200 miles away.

ReplyDeleteI like how you used an example that was a major event that just recently happened. It made the topic more relateable and more interesting to read.
