Earthquakes

1. Most earthquakes form on the plate boundaries.The area on the earth where there are the most earthquakes occur is the Pacific plate boundary.
2. I think most earthquakes form on the plate boundaries because the plates are moving around.
3.This area is called the ring of fire.
4.The closest earthquake to Manitou Springs is 134 miles from Denver.People can feel this earthquake because it is 3.2 magnitude. This earthquake is 32768 times more powerful than a magnitude 1 earthquake. A magnitude 3 earthquake shakes the ground a 1000 times more than a magnitude 1 earthquake.
5. I am going to tell you about a 5.1magnitude earthquake that happend in southern Indoesia. This happened on January 20 2009 at 4:07 utc time.
