OUE REMEMBER THE BEST WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF IN A STRONG EARTHQUAKE is, being well informed and prepared CONCEPTS TOOLS: Earthquake: Sudden and abrupt release of energy accumulated by the slow deformation of the earth's surface, which spreads in waves seismic.
Seismic Source: Volume of rock fracture during an earthquake.
Seismic Toss: Set of vibratory ground motion.
Hypocenter: The point where the earthquake starts.
Epicenter: point on the surface located vertically above the focus or hypocenter.
Aftershocks: smaller earthquakes that occur after an earthquake.
Precursors smaller earthquakes that occur before the main earthquake.
Magnitude: Richter devised by parameter indicating the size and the energy released by the earthquake as seismic waves.
The magnitude scale has no limits, although there have been no local earthquakes of magnitude greater than 9.
Intensity: A parameter indicating the effect of shocks in an area affected by seismic shocks.
It is measured through the reactions of people, the degree of damage produced in the buildings and the disruption caused in the field (cracks, landslides, landslides, etc.)..
