7[blank_start]Tensional force[blank_end] is [blank_start]exerted[blank_end] on the crust pulling the crust apart.
Tensional forces cause parts of the crust to be [blank_start]fractured[blank_end], forming [blank_start]fault lines.[blank_end]
The central block [blank_start]subsides[blank_end] between two faults. The [blank_start]depression[blank_end] created subsiding central block known as [blank_start]rift valley[blank_end]- ATensional force

11At the [blank_start]convergent[blank_end] plate boundaries where 2 plates meet, the [blank_start]thinner[blank_end] and [blank_start]denser[blank_end] [blank_start]oceanic[blank_end] plate [blank_start]subducts[blank_end] beneath the [blank_start]lighter[blank_end] [blank_start]continental[blank_end] plate.
The subducted plate melts to form [blank_start]magma[blank_end].
Magma contains [blank_start]gases[blank_end] such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.
[blank_start]Pressure[blank_end] builds up the magma rises through [blank_start]cracks and fractures[blank_end] on the [blank_start]lithosphere[blank_end].
Lava (and other pyroclastic materials) [blank_start]cools[blank_end] and hardens around the [blank_start]vent[blank_end] to build up a conical-shaped or dome-shaped volcano.

4) Flow [blank_start]slowly[blank_end]
5) Spread over [blank_start]small[blank_end] areas

Low Viscosity (Fluid):
1) [blank_start]Basic[blank_end]
2) [blank_start]Low[blank_end] silica content
3) [blank_start]1200[blank_end] degrees celsius - Cools and solidifies [blank_start]slowly[blank_end]

18[blank_start]Rocks[blank_end] on each side of the fault are forced to move, but the movement is [blank_start]not smooth[blank_end]
The rocks at the fault are “[blank_start]locked[blank_end]” together
Because rocks are [blank_start]locked[blank_end] together, they [blank_start]bend[blank_end] and [blank_start]store[blank_end] energy like a coiled spring
This cause [blank_start]stress[blank_end] to the rocks.
The [blank_start]stress[blank_end] in the rocks becomes so great that it finally causes the rocks to [blank_start]break free[blank_end] into [blank_start]new[blank_end] positions along the fault.
This results in the release of the [blank_start]stored[blank_end] energy in the form of [blank_start]seismic waves[blank_end] which makes the ground [blank_start]vibrate[blank_end]- ARocks

19The following are the terms of earthquakes:
1) [blank_start]Focus[blank_end] is a place where Earthquake Begins
2) [blank_start]Epicentre[blank_end] is a point directly above the focus on the earth’s surface
3) Seismic waves are waves of energy that [blank_start]travels[blank_end] through the earth which cause the ground to vibrate
4) [blank_start]Foreshocks[blank_end] are energy release before the mainshock
5) [blank_start]Aftershock[blank_end] is usually a smaller earthquake that follows the main shock of a large earthquake- AFocus
- BEpicentre
- CEpicentre

23[blank_start]Earthquake[blank_end] takes place under the sea
[blank_start]Seabed[blank_end] is displaced by the earthquake
[blank_start]Seismic energy[blank_end] from an undersea earthquake [blank_start]forces[blank_end] out a mass of seawater resulting in [blank_start]large volume of water[blank_end] being lifted
In the deep ocean, tsunami waves may travel at the speed of [blank_start]800[blank_end] km/h. It has [blank_start]long[blank_end] wave length but [blank_start]short[blank_end] wave height.
As it approaches the shore, it is slowed and water behind catches up.
Wave height increase dramatically
When it hits the shore, the tsunami waves could be traveling [blank_start]30-50[blank_end] km/h and may reach heights of around 15 m.- AEarthquake

- BCannot afford to move
- CStay there to watch earthquakes
26What do not affects the extent of damage in an earthquakes
- ATime of occurrence
- BWhere it happens
- CType of soil
- DPreparedness
- EDeep or shallow focus
- FTypes of waves
- GEconomic development
- HDistance from the sea
27The shallower the earthquake the lesser the damage it has

- BFalse
28The extent of damage may depend on the type of waves
- ATrue
- BFalse

30Bonus: What are the main cause(s) that result in the large number of deaths during the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake?
- AIt triggers a tsunami
- BIt happens in early morning where many were still asleep, some were already cooking
- CTheir emergency preparedness was low
- DIt was partially from reclaimed land which results in liquefaction
