How do earthquakes start? <span style="color: #ff0097; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">Earthquakes most commonly start by at the boundries of tectonic plates where stresses accumulate in the earths crust over time, causing energy to be stored in the form of elastic strain (like that in a compressed spring). <span style="color: #ff0097; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">Ultimately this strengh will exceed the sheer strength of the crust in the fault or boundry zone causing a sudden brittle failure or rupture. <span style="color: #ff0097; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">This in turn causes movement and a sudden release of the stored elastic strain energy in the form of seismic waves (as well as heat) causing a earthquake. <span style="color: #00fff1; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">5. How long do they go for? <span style="color: #ff0097; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">They go for a few seconds but the maximum time for a appropriate earthquake is about around 1&1/2 minutes, and it may seem small but having an earthquake for around 1&1/2 minutes could cause brutal damage to the surroundings of the earthquake. <span style="color: #ff0097; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">﻿21/02/11 <span style="color: #ff0097; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">Post <span style="color: #ff0097; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">Check out the new post i put on the home page in discussions.

New Zealands Prime Minister says there is atleast 65 people killed in that earthquake. Many buildings in the city centre collapsed. Thousands of people have left buildings and gathered in the streets of Christchurch as the city is now being hit with a series of aftershocks.

What is the epicentre of an Earthquake? <span style="color: #ff0097; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">An epicentre is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an Earthquake. <span style="color: #00fff1; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">2. How do aftershock's occur? <span style="color: #ff0097; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">They occur after a earthquake. For example: After the earthquake hit New Zealand, there are still AFTERSHOCKS hitting Christchurch. <span style="color: #00fff1; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">3.
