Yes.I thought that there was an earthquake.I think they occur by the earths plates grinding against each other and one goes under the other.

Yes I have experienced an earthquake it was last year while was watching T.V. At first I thought someone was like jumping up and down up stairs but then I knew that it was an earthquake. I maybe that pressure comes up from the middle of the earth and causes and earthquake.

Yes, I've experienced an earthquake, and I thought that it was an earthquake. I think earthquakes occur when plates in the earth shift.

Tyler J said...

yes i have and i thought it occurs when the plates of the earth shift.

I experienced an earthquake last year in the middle of sixth grade at around 7:00 PM. I think earthquakes occur when the plates underground shift and overlap.

Yes, i have indeed experienced an earthquake I thought a truck had fallen over into the woods next to us. Earthquakes occur when the plates in the earth get off balanced.

I think earthquakes are caused by volcanos.

Yes, I have witnessed a earthquake be for. I was not really sure what is was at the time, and an earthquake is, a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.

Yes I have experienced an earthquake, I thought that it was an Earthquake, and I think they occur by plates moving against each other.

I have experienced an earthquake. I thought it was the start of a thunderstorm. I know that "plates" of the earth overlap each other and cause earthquakes

Yes i've experienced an earthquake. I thought there was a plane crash. Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault.

Yes, I have experienced and earthquake. I was in girl scouts, at the fire station. We all thought that the garage doors were opening. Earthquakes occur when two plates below the earths surface rub together and make the earth quake.

I have experienced an earthquake. I thought that something blew up because I just heard rumbling and the ground shook. I think they occur when Earth's plates rub against each other and then pressure builds up and earthquakes happen.

yes I have and i thought it was what it was. Earths inner plates grinding against each other.

Ella T. said...

Yea, I have. The Earth's plates were shifting during this time. Maine doesn't have many earthquakes, but if we do, they're very tiny. Last year was a pretty big earthquake.

Julia M said...

I have experienced an earthquake. I discovered that it was an earthquake just a few seconds after it started. I think that earthquakes occur when plates rub against each other, causing the earth to shake, which is called an earthquake.

I have experienced an earthquake I thought that the furnace blew up. I think they are created by plates rubbing together.

Sydney G said...

I have been in an earth quake. I was at The High School in the gym, at a basketball practice, and my couch ran and got the janitor. Since the furnace was in the room right next us, he thought that had something to do with it. After we checked the furnace room, some parents ran inside from the track claiming it was an earthquake.

I think earthquakes are formed from a past storm, when plates move.

I have been in an earthquake before. I was sitting in my living room on the couch and then I just froze and thought my house was blowing up and just looked at my dad and asking him what happened.

Earthquakes occur when 2 plates in the ground crash together and cause an earthquake.

I experienced an Earthquake last year while eating. Me and my parents thought that the furnace blew up. Then my went to check it and it was fine. Then I said earthquake.

yes. i thought a earthquake was happening. Earthquakes happen from plate tectonics sliding together. Plate tectonics under water sliding together form tsunamis. there plate boundaries, convergent, divergent and hot spots.

i experienced a earthquake,i thought it was the end of the world or something at first and it REALLY creeped me out.I soon figured out it was just a earthquake,and it was over just like that.I was really scared and every one in my neighborhood came out and my dad yelled over to my neighbor and asked him what happened,but he knew it was a earthquake because he has been in a 7.5 richter scale earthquake.The next day,we did a quiz on earthquakes.A earthquake happens when plates in the earth move around and scrape each other.
