Earthquake Hazard: Ground Shaking
Ground Shaking
ground shakes
buildings and things inside may fall
1556 Shaanxi province, china
worst recorded earthquake for fatalities
housing was silt (very fine-grained sediment) caves, most collapsed
883,000 people died
buildings on solid rock or compacted sediments are safer
wet, loose sediment and artificial fill have longer and more intense shaking
also prone to liquefaction
shaking can trigger resonance in a building
amplitude of the wave increases when the frequency of the seismic wave is the same or very close to the natural frequency of the building
hypocenter: point on the fault where motion starts
epicenter: directly above hypocenter on surface
when the ground shakes, it creates a fault scarp
fault scarp: exposure of the fault visible at the surface; exposed due to offset (movement) along the fault
elastic rebound theory: explains how energy builds up and is then released in an earthquake and how that energy is released
this can create ground shaking
