	Earthquake K-12 Experiments for Lesson Plans & Science Fair Projects
		Earthquakes occurring at boundaries of tectonic plates are called interplate earthquakes, while the less frequent events that occur in the interior of the lithospheric plates are called intraplate earthquakes.
		Some earthquakes are the result of a number of anthropogenic sources, such as extraction of minerals and fossil fuel from the Earth's crust, the removal or injection of fluids into the crust, reservoir-induced seismicity, massive explosions, and collapse of large buildings.
		Earthquakes have also been known to be caused by the removal of natural gas from subsurface deposits, for instance in the northern Netherlands.

		Most earthquakes are tectonic, but they also occur in volcanic regions and as the result of a number of anthropogenic sources, such as reservoir induced seismicity, mining and the removal or injection of fluids into the crust.
		Deep focus earthquakes, at depths of hundreds of kilometres, are possibly generated as subducted lithospheric material catastrophically undergoes a phase transition since at the pressures and temperatures present at such depth elastic strain cannot be supported.
		Earthquakes such as these, that are caused by human activity, are referred to by the term induced seismicity.

		In a particular earthquake, any of these agents of damage can dominate, and historically each has caused major damage and great loss of life, but for most of the earthquakes shaking is the dominant and most widespread cause of damage.
		Earthquakes, especially those that occur beneath oceans or seas, can give rise to tsunamis, either as a direct result of the deformation of the sea bed due to the earthquake, or as a result of submarine landslips or 'slides' indirectly triggered by it.
		Earthquake effects are described in terms of intensity, a scale which attempts to quantify the severity of shaking at a given location.

	Flickr: Dudley
		Dudley has a history dating back to medieval times; a castle has stood in Dudley since the 8th century, the present castle dates from the 13th century, and provided the centre around which the town grew.
		Dudley was mostly made up of farms and factories surrounded by the occasional cottage until the 19th century, when many rows of terraced houses with terrible sanitation were built.
		In 2002 the largest earthquake to hit the UK in 10 years had its epicenter in Dudley, specifically in the outlying area of Gornal.

		The Dudley earthquake at 4.8 was, according to Roger Musson of the British Geological Survey, "about on time, because it is 10 years since the last one".
		Nick Alexander, a civil engineer at the University of East London, said that in 1990 there was an earthquake centred on Shropshire that was double the size of the latest one, and in 1961, one under the North sea measured 6.1, some 20 times the magnitude.
		Risk are low but British earthquakes have claimed victims - the last time was 1940, when one person died of a heart attack and another fell down stairs.

		Glenn Ford, a seismologist with the British Geological Survey, said: "This was an extremely large earthquake in UK terms but in world terms, we'd only classify it as a light earthquake." He said that the quake of magnitude four is equivalent to 1,000 tons of TNT exploding.

		A senior official there knew a leading member of the Secret Service who suggested that Dudley's plans might be worth studying, especially the link between the public and private sectors.
		Dudley was one of many councils to review planning procedures after September 11 and completely rewrote how to deal with bodies, as well as plans involving the private sector on issues such as gas, water and electricity.
