How an Earthquake Starts: Tectonic Plates Move – The Earth’s crust isn’t solid; it’s made of giant pieces called tectonic plates. These plates are always moving, but usually super slowly. Stress Builds Up – Sometimes, plates get stuck against each other instead of moving smoothly. But they’re still trying to move, so pressure keeps building up. The Breaking Point – When the pressure gets too strong, the rocks suddenly shift and release all that energy in a seismic wave—this is what we feel as an earthquake. The Fault Line – The place where the plates break or slide past each other is called a fault line. The most famous one is the San Andreas Fault in California. Aftershocks – After the big quake, the ground might keep shifting in smaller tremors, called aftershocks. Sometimes, these can be almost as strong as the first quake. The shaking we feel depends on how deep the earthquake is and how much energy was released. A small one might just rattle your windows, but a big one can bring down buildings. Basically, the Earth is always moving, but sometimes it moves a little too much all at once!
I'm sure most of the buildings were older before earthquake codes were mandatory for any new buildings were built. God be with them.
I'm so sorry 😢
I hope everyone is fine!😢
Me sitting in a residential tower in SF watching this 😳
Sometime we're at the wrong place at the wrong time part of life!!!
It fell like a house of cards was it not built correctly? Because there are no other buildings that have similarly collapsed
