Drag each tile to the correct box
arrange the events to describe how an earthquake happens.
the plates create great stresses
in rocks near the edges of the plate,
the intensity of the earthquake
reduces with the distance from
the epicenter
large chunks of earth called
tectonic plates collide with
each other
the seismic waves created at
the hypocenter spread out
radially and cause shaking
wherever they travel
the energy released causes
shaking of earth in that position. the edges of the plates slide past each other in close contact. the separation of the plates release a great amount of energy.
