California is a state where many earthquakes occur. An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in earths crust that creates seismic waves. There are three main types of fault, all which can cause an earthquake. They are normal, reverse, and strike-slip. After an earthquake, an aftershock can occur. An aftershock is formed as the crust around the displaced fault plane adjusts to the first shock. Shaking and ground rupture are the main effects created by earthquakes, principally resulting in more or less severe damage to buildings and other rigid structures. Earthquakes can also cause fires, tsunamis, floods, and also injuries and loss lifes.
The aftermath of an earthquake can leave you wishing you had been more prepared. I for instance keep my aid kit and other supplies in a safe place. In my kit I keep bandages, cotton tips, wipes, antibiotic ointment, hand sanatizer,alcohol, absorbent pads, gloves, and an ice pack. These are some of the things I keep in my first-aid kit. Some supplies I have are batteries, a flashlight, clothes, blankets, a tent, water bottles, can food, and a can opener. These are the most important things i keep incase of an earthquake.
In case of an earthquake my family decided to meet in a certain place. I think this is very important in case of an emergency. We decided to meet at our house. This is because we would know exactly how to get there.
