sudden movements of the blocks Explanation: All the stress and strain produced by moving plates builds up in the Earth's rocky crust until it simply can't take it any more. All at once, CRACK!, the rock breaks and the two rocky blocks move in opposite directions along a more or less planar fracture surface called a fault. The sudden movement generates an earthquake at a point called the focus. http://geomaps.wr.usgs.gov/parks/deform/gfaults.html An earthquake happens when a sudden movement of two blocks of rock occurs along a break (fault) deep within the earth's crust. http://windupradio.com/earthquakes/causes.htm |

abrupt movements of blocks Explanation: U kontekstu zemljotresa, "skokovit" se najčešće prevodi kao "abrupt" http://smos.ntou.edu.tw/reference/Coastal_Engineering_Manual... COASTAL TERMINOLOGY AND GEOLOGIC ENVIRONMENTS --- Earthquakes are shock waves caused by abrupt movements of blocks of the earth’s crust. blocks of the earth’s crust - to su zapravo ploče = plates http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/esp_ciencia_tsunam... If you ask a geologist what causes an earthquake, he/she will tell you it's caused by slippage or abrupt movement between two plates of rock at a location called a fault zone. fault = rased http://arxiv.org/abs/1312.7712 Earthquakes occur because of abrupt slips on faults due to accumulated stress in the Earth's crust. http://tc.mudrac.com/mod/glossary/view.php?id=717&mode=date&... abrupt: skokovit skokovit, isprekidan, abrupt, ref. Rečnik mašinske tehnike, J. Milićević http://www.worldcat.org/title/osnovi-zemljotresnog-inzenjers... Notes: Prevod dela: Fundamentals of earthquake engineering. Description: XIII, 639 str. ; 25 cm.
