She will talk about the causes of the event. • Megan will be the geologist. She will talk about what happens during the event to affect/impact human lives and what physical damage and environmental effects result from the event.

  3. S.O.S Geologist (What happens durring an earthquake to affect human lives) • Some earthquakes will result in a fire that exceeds simple damage to the foundation of a building or home, but can reduce establishments to ash. • If one doesn’t have insurance, a fire as a result of an earthquake would leave them without a home or possessions. • During an earthquake at sea, tsunamis are created and come into contact with the land with devastating results. • A sudden earthquake can destabilize slopes causing a landslide. • Everyone can be buried alive, and houses are immediately surrounded. • Rebuilding on an environment after a sizable landslide can be impossible.
