EARTHQUAKES

堅道英文書院主編

All of us are aware of the nugan disasters which are sometimes caused by earthquakes. In the course of history, many of these have been of immerse proportions. Back in 1755, 60,000 people in Lisbon were killed by a series of intense earthquakes. All the triumph ani grandeur of the Armada tra in this magnificent capital city of Portugal were destroyed. Elder people may, remember the Yokohama shock of 1923, thanks to which planning of the Japanese invasion were delayed for quite a number of years. More recently, newspaper headlines were describing the severe earth tremor in Iran, where fatalities amounted to 20,000 amongst numerous injured. and homeless,

Such are uns ellecta of these dread manurestat long. of nature's power. There are many causes of earthquakes: underground Landslides and collapse of caverns on a gigantic scale is one; volcanic action is the cause of many others. Most of the quakes however are results of breaking up of the rocks in the earth's crust. Barth- possesses a hot care which cools continually, the earth's crust therefore cools and shrinks also. A 10 shrinks, it tightens up the surrounding, rock, crushing them with enormous force. When the cracking. earthquake finally erupts, tremendous energy 13 released.

When uge mass or rock breaks, the entire earin trembles with it. Waves are generated which travel outwards from the source in all directions, likened to -water waves spreading out acroar a calm sea when a stone

is dropped into it. There is one essential difference here. Two types of waves are generated when an earthquake occurs The P, primary waves, formed when the rock is crushed sideways, and the S, secondary -waves, formed when the rock is crushed vertically

(Fig. 1). The significant fact is that P waves travel faster than the S waves, so by recording the time interval between the arrivals of P-waves and S waves in an earthquake recording station, one can calculate how far away the earthquake is. The principle is like this. Imagine if a Jetplane and an aeroplane started off from a same place at the same time, if we know their speeds, and know how much sooner the jetplane passes than the aeroplane, simple arithmetic will tell us where the planes come from.

Obviously, to study the natural phenomena of earthquakes, we would require some precise instruments. Probably the first earthquakea instrument ever bullt was by a very famous Chinese Cheung Hang. His instrument consisted of a circular dons surrounded by sixteen dragon heads each holding a pearl-shaped metal ball. From the decorated exterior, who would have known that,

inside, there was just a pendulum suspended by a fine wire tied to the dome. If you have now realised that when the earth shakes, the pendulum will swing, you are almost as clever as Cheung Hang himself. And when the shock comes from the north, for example, the pendulum naturally will swing in that direction. knocking out the north dragon's pearl. Very simple really yet. Cheung's clear thinking deserves wide anclain (Fig. 2).

in this way, knowing the direction and distance away, the world has known 100,000 earthquakes since than from the trivial to the most destructive,

Parthquakes of course are qisasurvus, but surprisingly enough they can be at the same time very useful. They enable our investigation into the interior of the Planet Earth. Ever since the beginning, caveman could look up and marvel at the wonders of the stars. After the discovery of the telescope we could see the surface of the moon, pretty soon we can visit the planeta and places distant and unknown. But, does it occur to anyone that despite theseschievements, the deepest we ever go downwards towards the centre of the platform we are now standing on is only a few miles?

Just as a doctor can tell our illness by feeling our pulses, a scientist probes into the earth centre by listening to the garth vibrating waves. From these studies, we obtain much valuable information. That is how we come to know the earth has a thin crust of rock, a plastic sem-fluid layer called the mantle and a liquid iron cors etc. (Fiz. 3)

In military defence, underground nuclear explosions are detectable as a social kind of earthquake.

Lartnquake events are far more numerous than we realise, almost 50 earthquakes on average pccur avery day. The majority of them happen in the Pacific Region along the edge of that vast ocean. hongkong, only 400- miles west of this active belt, is in a favourable position for recording these quakes, and is fortunate. in being in a district seemingly free from its effects. Now and then though, Hongkong did suffer earthquake damages, Puring the Chinese New year on 13th February, 1918, while citizens were wishing their Kung-Hei-Fat- Choys to one another, an earthquake erupted.
