Continental Drift


Hello boys and girls, I found an interesting map in the World Wide Web (Internet for friends) that is very interesting. But I have now some doubts. Can anyone help me?:

1) What kind of information does the map show us?
2) Can you tell me how many earthquakes in the last week?
3) Would you mind to give an explanation of the earthquake event?

  1. 1)This map shows us the latest Earthquakes in the world- Past 7 days.
    2)About 180 earthquakes in the last week.
    3)When two plates tectonics crash there is a release of energy that makes the ground vibrate. This vibration is called an earthquake

  2. Very good answers! Now, if you multiplicate the number of earthquakes in a week per 52 weeks... OMG, an awesome number of earthquakes per year. I guess we are lucky of feeling only some of them.

  4. 1) This map is showing the earthquakes in all the planet in the last week
    2) 201 earthquakes, but today is Saturday the 6th day of the week, too need the 7th day.
    3) When two tectonic plates crash, the ground move. This accident makes the volcanic eruption or the EARTHQUAKES.

    EX)
    1. We find the number of earthquakes for day. (201/6=34). Remember: today is Saturday
    2. Then, we multiple 34•7. This is the number of earthquakes for week (235)
    3. Finally, we multiple 235•52. This is the number of earthquakes for year.(12.120!)

  5. 1)The map shows the earthquakes in the world, in past 7 days.
    2)About 190 earthquakes.
    3)When two tectonic plates crash, the earth moves. This can produce several things, among them, the earthquakes.
