earthquake zones
what sould i do in an earthquake?
i've lived in a non-earthquake zone most of my life, but now i live in st.louis. scientists are expecting a new earthquake soon because st.louis hasn't had one in a long time. but, since i've lived in a nonearthquake zone, i dont know what to do when that happens!
what sould i do, and what sould i expect to happen?
stay away from buildings ,sit on the ground
if you are in a building ,underneath the doorpost is safest.
we have earth quackes all the time here in Mexico.

American Samoa Hit By 8.3 Magnitude Earthquake - Tsunami's To Hit Pacific Areas !!!!
Describe and explain the relationship between the Earth’s earthquake zones,?
Describe and explain the relationship between the Earth’s earthquake zones, volcanic mountain regions and plate boundaries.
Wikipedia is a fantastic source of information when trying to answer questions like this.
Please read around subjects you are given for homework. It may seem like a ball ache but if you get into the habit of doing that whilst at school life will be one heck of a lot easier for you!
Basically the movement of the boundaries between the plates cause earthquakes and volcanoes. for more details see wicki.
From Wicki:
Three types of plate boundaries exist, characterized by the way the plates move relative to each other. They are associated with different types of surface phenomena. The different types of plate boundaries are:
1. Transform boundaries occur where plates slide or, perhaps more accurately, grind past each other along transform faults. The relative motion of the two plates is either sinistral (left side toward the observer) or dextral (right side toward the observer). The San Andreas Fault in California is one example.
2. Divergent boundaries occur where two plates slide apart from each other. Mid-ocean ridges (e.g., Mid-Atlantic Ridge) and active zones of rifting (such as Africa's Great Rift Valley) are both examples of divergent boundaries.
3. Convergent boundaries (or active margins) occur where two plates slide towards each other commonly forming either a subduction zone (if one plate moves underneath the other) or a continental collision (if the two plates contain continental crust). Deep marine trenches are typically associated with subduction zones. Because of friction and heating of the subducting slab, volcanism is almost always closely linked. Examples of this are the Andes mountain range in South America and the Japanese island arc.

What you don’t see in the photo is the one way valve that’s behind this. Some systems are wet, some are dry. I think in earthquake zones they may be dry so that the building doesn’t just flood if a pipe breaks in a quake, so you see a lot of “Dry Standpipe” signs in SF. Anyways, there’s a one-way valve inside there, so when you disconnect your hose, the water doesn’t just come flooding out, and it’ll hold whatever pressure the pipe is rated to.
How else is Barry gonna get votes? Might as well import them, as no real American will vote for him.
