The Oklahoma Geological Survey is a research and public-service agency located on the Norman campus of the University of Oklahoma. The OGS was written into the Constitution of Oklahoma in 1907, and is the only state geological survey to hold that distinction. The enabling legislation was signed into law on May 29, 1908. The Survey's mandate remains to study Oklahoma's geology, prepare and distribute reports, and promote wise use of the State's natural resources. EARTHQUAKE PRESS RELEASE 2005-05-16 The Oklahoma Geological Survey has recorded and located a magnitude 2.8 earthquake with the epicenter 2.7 miles west of Moore. Persons reported booming sounds, jolts, and water sloshing in a fish tank from Norman to six miles north of Will Rogers Airport. The earthquake occurred at 5:30PM CDT. No damage is expected. The last earthquake felt in the Oklahoma City area was a magnitude 2.1 on December 16, 2001. The largest earthquake felt in the Oklahoma City area was on April 9, 1952. This magnitude 5.5 earthquake was felt in all of Oklahoma and parts of seven other states. It produced a 50 foot long crack in the State Capitol Office Building.

Check out this site run by the California Geological Survey. Question - What is the difference between the HYPOCENTER and the EPICENTER? Earthquakes occur when two pieces of the earth snap past each other along a fault. That fault is actually a crack that extends deep into the earth. The HYPOCENTER is the point where the earthquake rupture begins, usually deep below the surface on this fault. The EPICENTER is the point on the surface directly above the hypocenter. Question - What was the largest earthquake?

85. Earthquakes This site should give you some good information about Plate Tectonics. http://www.geocities.com/viperdude_1024/earthquakes.html

Earthquakes Earthquakes are thought of simply as the earth shaking. But they are much more than that. Earthquakes are the collision of Tectonic Plates .What are Tectonic Plates, you ask? Well, they are a part layer of the Earth that is located under the crust- the layer we are on-that is made of either Granite or Basalt. When these plates collide, they form earthquakes. This force of the collision is also responsible for Continental Drift . Continental Drift is a theory proposed by a scientist named Alfred Wegener, who's idea proposed in 1912, was finally accepted in the 1960's. Most people think that earthquakes are noticable and leave tons of damage. Well, actually, there are lots of earthquakes everyday, but most are too small to be noticed. A good site to see some of the earthqukes that happen everyday is: wwwneic.cr.usgs.gov/neis/bulletin (there is no dot between the www and the neic). That should give you a good idea of how many earthquakes actually happen per day. Sign my guestbook if you want to or if you have any questions/ comments about the site. I will do what I can to make this site better.

AP Photo/Murad Sezer Turkey's tragedy 2 Sep 1999. Turkey's industrial heartland was devastated by a terrific earthquake Aug. 17. One of the strongest quakes of the century hit a heavily populated area near the giant metropolis of Istanbul. A large number of multi-story concrete apartment buildings collapsed, killing more than 14,000, at last estimate. Hundreds of thousands more were left homeless, injured or bereaved by the disaster. "We are facing the greatest natural disaster in the history of the Turkish Republic," Koray Aydin, minister of public works and housing, told the Parliament Aug. 18. On Aug. 20, Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit described the quake as "one of the worst in human history and the heaviest in Turkish history Amid widespread accusations of shoddy construction and inadequate rescue efforts (Turkish newspaper headlines included "Total fiasco" and "We died twice"), more than a dozen nations contributed rescue teams to search for survivors in flattened buildings. The quake occurred along the North Anatolian Fault, a long break that allows movement between plates of the Earth's crust. In some areas, one side of the fault moved 12 feet compared to the other side. The shock was the seventh large quake to rock the fault since 1939, and was rated at magnitude 7.4.

In 1995 China put into force a law to improve emergency response to earthquakes. State media reported at the time that more than 610,000 Chinese had been killed by earthquakes in that century. Earthquakes regularly rattle the vast Tibetan plateau, including Tibet itself, the far west region of Xinjiang and Qinghai province. They are also common in southwest Yunnan province and northern areas. Quakes are relatively rare in central China and along the eastern seaboard but the northwest is frequently hit by tremors. The following is a chronology of some of the biggest earthquakes in recent decades: July 1976: At least 270,500 people die when an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale flattens the northern city of Tangshan.

The only earthquake detector endorsed by ARTI, the American Rescue Team International Click here to see the endorsement from ARTI) For: Homes, offices and school classrooms Model # QA-2000 Español Provides early warning by detecting an earthquake's sound wave before the earthquake's destructive shear wave strikes your area. Fully adjustable sensitivity setting. Automatically resets and shuts off alarm when earthquake stops. Mounts easily to wall. No screws, nails or tools required. Operates off a 9-volt battery. 6" high x 3" wide x 1-1/4" deep Loud distinctive alarm to wake you up. Monitors aftershocks. Offers peace of mind and keeps you informed. Can detect earthquakes that occur many miles away. Saves valuable seconds by removing the normal guesswork involved in earthquake detection. Patented reverse pendulum detection system. The Quake Alarm is designed to provide instant warning of seismic activity by detecting the "P" wave (compression wave) of an earthquake, which travels faster than the more destructive "S" wave (shear wave). The Quake Alarm saves valuable seconds by removing the guesswork in earthquake detection. It is capable of detecting large earthquakes that occur hundreds of miles away and can detect moderate to minor earthquakes for many miles around your local area. One very important advantage of the
