		Earthquakes result from rapid movement of faults that transmit seismic waves through the earth, setting its surface in motion.
		A good way to imagine an earthquake is to think of the ground as a pond, an earthquake is like a stone that sets the surface in motion creating a series of circular waves, which collide with one another.
		During an earthquake, the ground vibrates in a similarly complex manner, as waves of different frequencies and amplitude interact with one another.

		Earthquakes are part of a global tectonic process that generally occurs well beyond the influence or control of humans.
		P-waves used to locate the earthquake, at about 2 to 3 miles/second, so a particular magnitude may not be available until a few minutes after the earthquake.
		The third is from the Nisqually earthquake in Washington, and the fourth is from the Loma Prieta earthquake in California.

		Earthquakes have also progressed eastward from the 1939 rupture, though in a less orderly fashion.
		IZMIT EARTHQUAKE in Turkey is part of a larger pattern of ruptures on the North Anatolian fault, beginning with a 1939 earthquake and leading to raised (red) or lowered (purple) levels of stresses along the fault, as measured by an index called the Coulomb failure stress (a large earthquake releases about 100 bars of stress).
		The Landers earthquake also increased the stress in a zone extending northeastward to the Mojave Desert--an area struck by the October 16 magnitude 7.1 earthquake.

	Earthquake Movie Review
		When Earthquake was filmed in 1974, Lorne was 59, Ava was 52 and Moses, born in 1924, was 50.
		Since Earthquake never revealed who Lorne's wife (Ava's mother) was, it was possible that she wasn't born yet when Lorne married her.
		The most puzzling presence in Earthquake was Walter Matthau, who is known by the Movie Club as the guy who played the drunk in Earthquake.

		Earthquake was the title of a 1974 film that was among several successful so called disaster movies of the era that placed an all star cast in life and death situations.
		The basic plot concerned the reactions and stuggles for survival after an earthquake hits the city of Los Angeles, California.
		Called "Sensurround ", this was a process whereby special very large woofer speakers were placed in the corners of the theatre and triggered by a special secondary pickup on the optical soundtrack, they could only play a single rumble noise during the various moments in the film when tremors were experienced onscreen.

		In Northern California, a balmy day might inspire mention of "earthquake weather." The reference is to October 17, 1989 and the warm, still weather that set the stage for the Loma Prieta earthquake.
		Their focus on those areas most devastated rekindled visions of the 1906 earthquake, which is represented in textbooks by images of the entire city of San Francisco on fire.
		For California, the Loma Prieta earthquake acted as a catalyst for a statewide examination of roads, bridges, overpasses, and public infrastructure with regard to earthquake preparedness.

		Back in the day, the pre-shows were actually tied in with the movie Earthquake.
		They got rid of mostly all of the Earthquake stuff, updated it with movies up to about 2002, and called it "The Magic of Effects." It's not magical at all, and all it does it bore you really with irrelevant stuff any dumbo would know.

		Even though you would think that the star of an earthquake movie would be the earthquakes it may suprise you to find out that about ninety-five percent of the movie actually features people talking to each other about earthquakes, walking around, whining about how their fathers never loved them and being generally very irritating.
		So they spend the entire movie trying to convince everyone how brilliant she is and how she can stop the earthquakes from happening but in the end she fails and just ends up being a dumb woman.
		She pretty much spends the entire first half of the movie in the Governor's mansion whining about how she can't locate her family but then a building falls on her so she spends the second half of the movie in the hospital bitching about how she can't find her family.

	Earthquake (1974) Movie Review - RopeofSilicon.com
		Earthquake is a Universal Pictures release directed by Mark Robson and was released on November 15, 1974.
		Charlton Heston offers his trademark brand of macho courage as the citizens of Los Angeles brace for the Big One--an earthquake that rattles the city to its crumbling foundation.
		It's got all the sophistication of a Love Boat episode, but the movie's momentum scores high marks (at least on the Richter scale), and the Oscar-winning sound design and special visual effects are still impressive, especially when you consider that advanced computer-graphics effects were still two decades in the future.
