　　How to survive a devastating earthquake?

　　What exactly is an earthquake?

　　Earthquakes, originating miles underground, are a part of global tectonics (筑造學(xué)), a process that often changes the elevation of the land and its morphology (形態(tài)學(xué)); the result of volcanic activity, such as the quakes that shook Washington state weeks before Mount Saint Helens’ volcano erupted in 1980; induced by Man.

　　The earth is not really one solid mass, but is in fact made up of several immense plates that are always pushing against one another. It's a bit like being on a crowded subway; the plates making up the earth are so tightly pushed together that there is always a struggle for room. Eventually, this pressure becomes so great between certain plates that they finally move, violently shifting their position. That is a tectonic earthquake. These constant struggles and shifting of the earth are global tectonics. These are usually the most devastating of all quakes.

　　Earthquakes may occur in an area before, during, and after a volcanic eruption, and are the result of active forces connected with the eruption, but are not the cause of the volcanic activity itself.

　　Man-induced earthquakes are often caused by such things as the deep-sea drilling that has occurred in recent years. Such activity deep into the earth can sometimes increase pressure on the plates, making a tense situation much worse.
