1. What is the main cause of earthquakes?
2. List three types of plate boundaries. Explain why earthquakes can occur at each type of boundary. Use sketches and diagrams in your explanation.
3. Which two types of plate movement produce the biggest earthquakes? Why do you think the other type of plate movement produces smaller earthquakes?
4. Why do seismologists (scientists who study earthquakes) worry if a plate stops moving?
5. What are aftershocks? Why do aftershocks present a special danger?
6.What are tsunamis? Describe how tsunmanis are produced.
