We usually only learn about
the magnitude of an earthquake and the location of the epicenter. This
infographic explains how ground waves and depth define the magnitude on the
Richter Scale and the amount of destruction that implies. It also illustrates
plate boundaries on the globe and the regions where most earthquakes occur. The
Earthquakes infographic by Weather Underground also describes hydraulic
fracking and how this has increased earthquake activity in places where earthquakes
don’t naturally occur.
