	Natural Hazards Causes and Effects Lesson 2 Earthquakes: University of Wisconsin Disaster Management Center (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Earthquakes are caused by the movement of massive land areas, called plates, on the earth's crust.
		The frequency and amplitude of the vibrations produced at the surface, and thus the severity of the earthquake, depend on the amount of mechanical energy released at the focus, the distance and depth of the focus, and the structural properties of the rock or soil on or near the surface.
		It is not uncommon in the aftermath of an earthquake to see an increase of land invasions, major shifts of population from rural to urban areas, and a decline in the number of skilled workers in rural areas.

		The list was compiled from numerous sources, chief among them the bulletins of the NEUSN and LCSN, Gordon and Dewey (1999), the USGS PDE (Preliminary Determination of Epicenters) and related USGS digital catalogs and paper publications, and publications on specific areas or groups of earthquakes in the State.

	Earthquakes in Turkey - All About Turkey
		Earthquakes on the North Anatolian fault are caused by the northwards motion of the Arabian plate against the Eurasian plate, squeezing the small Turkish micro plate westwards.
		The small Turkish micro plate is bounded on the east by the East Anatolian fault zone (EAFZ), on the north by the North Anatolian fault zone (NAFZ), on the west by a diffuse zone of deformation surrounding the greater Aegean region, and on the south by the Hellenic and Cyprus arcs.
		The magnitude of an earthquake is determined from the logarithm of the amplitude of waves recorded by seismographs.

		Although it may seem that we are having more earthquakes, earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater have remained fairly constant throughout this century and, according to our records, have actually seemed to decrease in recent years.
		This is because of the tremendous increase in the number of seismograph stations in the world and the many improvements in global communications.
		But in a review of their charts showing total earthquake activity for the 1970's through the 1990's, there has been a tremendous increase in overall earthquake activity.
