Not the Richter scale. It's called the moment magnitude scale. The Richter scale is a half century old model that didn't work that well, it was replaced in there 70s. No one uses it. It's an easy mistake to make. EVERYBODY has this misconception, it's so stuck in our language that we all learn it. Even schools *to this day* teach it wrong 😊
I know you asked this question 2 months ago and weren't given a direct and clear answer on what to do, so for future reference, if you cite your references/sources, you can use information you gather from different places. It's just like when I used to have research papers, etc., when I was in school (except back then, I used encyclopedias, thesaurus, etc.) When I was in school, we didn't have WiFi - it was still connected through the phone lines - so I had to work around that. For this particular video, you would cite "explainitychannel" and the title. Good luck in your classes! (ps: You're able to use the info you find around the internet, but if you're paraphrasing in your own words, it's still a good idea to cite your sources just in case. That's how people are able to write articles on the same exact thing...just doing the research and putting it into their own words. Hope this helps!)
Greetings! Just a quick question, the video mentions that earthquakes were caused by sliding the plates with each other. But what about when the plates move apart from each other or collides with each other? Do earthquakes form that way too? I know mountains form when plates collides against each other but will earthquake form too? Thank you!
Yep! Earthquakes can happen from any movement of plates but some are stronger that others. So, like you said, transform (sliding) plates cause earthquakes bc when they go past each other, they get stuck and then when they get unstuck, pressure is released. It's the most common cause for earthquakes. Convergent (collision) plates also have earthquakes. When 2 SIAL (continental) plates collide it forms mountains and can cause earthquakes because of the movement. When SIAL and SIMA collide, the SIMA goes down because it is denser but when it is going down, the 2 plates can get stuck and the same thing happens (the stored energy is release when they get loose and causes and earthquake which can cause tsunamis. They also creat volcanoes. When 2 SIMA (oceanic) plates collide, they form a trench and cause earthquakes which can cause tsunamis When plates diverge (move away), the movement can cause earthquakes as well. sorry if it's a lot of information. I'm writing my Geography exam tmr 😅
Here cuz nj & ny got a lil shake today small but still
Same.. im near Philly
Same.
Same in Philly
Me too
Yup same reason I'm here
Moroccan here, to see why this happened in Marrakech. Thanks for the explanation!
As a Brazilian, I am very thankful for the location of my country. Pretty much no earthquake risk at all here
I live in NYC. We had one today. Scary feeling.
Cannot believe I've just understood a paragraph that is "aggressively" long in our essay about Earthquakes WITHOUT 3 MINUTES... I'm gonna subscribe-
I’m here cause we just had an earthquake in New Jersey!
Same Philly
U guys had it again like an hour ago to right
I’m here for the aftershock, felt it in queens.
@@robden5368 what time did that happen
They're still scary when they happen. Even though I've lived through them all. I still freak out like a kid 😅
Very easy to understand explanation. THANK YOU
What about water reservoirs induced earth quakes, meteorite impact earthquakes, landslide related earth quakes?

good explanation, foremost for a student like me that have to explain this for a oral test
Can i use this video for my project???
I guess that's a no
@@xxsoulfooxx2317 tbh
Yes you can but you must put the link for reference

Here bc I just experienced an earthquake in NYC lol
and another one few mins ago
i am here cause i was stoned and i need to know now ..
Here because I just experienced a strong and short one in Guam, born and raised.
Ok I trust it cuz explainity explained it
Sounds fun
Here because of the jersey quakes.
Here because of all the recent ones in Taiwan 😵💫
Permission to use thanks
Lol who else is stuck on the first 3 mins rewinding just to understand it better
Oh, it's just you 😊
im js here bc of ny science test
Where is micro
Nj got one at 10:23am and an aftershock at 6pm. It was weird since we don’t get them here. Ik Californians are laugh at us east coasts right now
I would like to see all that happening if you presented actual footage instead of animations.
Here after Melbourne, Victoria, Australia’s earthquake on 28 May 2023 😅
Is there only 4 different quakes?!
Federal!
I need effects of earthquake
The 10 euro affects is like
You wish 😂😆😂
We aren't stupid!! What a waste of both time and money posting this!!
Didn't learn sht
