You can explain how a earthquake occurs.
Earth plates slide past each other. Because this is difficult, the tension between the plates is built up. If there is too much tension, the plates will shoot to discharge the tension.

Slide 8 - Slide

You can name the difference between a epi- and a hypocentre.
Earthquakes start in the Earth’s crust. The deepest point is called the hypocentre. The point on the Earth’s surface right above the hypocentre is called the epicentre. That is where you feel the worst tremors.

You can name how the Richter scale works.


"Scale for measuring the force of an earthquake."
