11. EARTH QUAKE RELIFE

12. AMAZING FACTS There are about 8,000 earthquakes a day. That's one every 11 seconds! Only 1 in 5 earthquakes can be felt by people, and only 1 in 5,000 causes any damage. Earth quakes last from less than a minute to 3- 5 minutes Moon has quakes too

13. What we feel is just 10% of whats going inside Induced seismicity Earthquake Storms Animals can predict Quakes!
