What is an earthquake?

"An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane."

What are the main precautionary measures to be taken during an earthquake?

The main precautionary measures to be taken during an earthquake are as follows:

  • Stay calm! If you're indoors, stay inside. If you're outside, stay outside.
  • If you're indoors, stand against a wall near the center of the building, hold up a heavy object or furniture, stand in a doorway, or crawl under heavy furniture (a desk or table).
  • Stay away from windows and outside doors.
  • If you're outdoors, stay in the open away from power lines or anything that might fall. Stay away from buildings (stuff might fall off the building or the building could fall on you).
  • Don't use matches, candles, or any flame. Broken gas lines and fire don't mix.
  • If you're in a car, stop the car and stay inside the car until the earthquake stops.
  • Don't use elevators (they may shut down).
