The majority of naturally-occurring earthquakes are triggered by movement of the earth's plates.   2.  The surface of the earth is made up of 20 constantly moving plates. As the plates shift, tension is created, and as its strength increases it can cause the crust to break. When a break occurs, the stress is released as energy that moves through the Earth in the form of waves. These waves are earthquakes. 3.  An average of 20,000 earthquakes every year (about 50 a day) around the world. A quake is considered major when it registers more than 7.0 on the moment magnitude scale. A magnitude of 3.0 or lower is nearly imperceptible. Millions of earthquakes estimated to occur every year that are too weak to be recorded. 4.  Almost 80 percent of all the planet's earthquakes occur along the rim of the Pacific Ocean, called the "Ring of Fire." A region that encircles the Pacific Ocean and is home to 452 volcanoes (over 75 percent of the world's active and dormant volcanoes).   5.  The earliest recorded earthquake is from 1831 B.C. in the Shandong province in China. 6.  A weaker earthquake can cause more damage and death than a stronger earthquake if its epicenters is in or close to large cities. 7.  The largest recorded earthquake in the world was a magnitude 9.5 in Chile on May 22, 1960. Its seismic waves traveled around the world, and shook the entire earth for many days. However, an earthquake in 1201 A.D. in the eastern Mediterranean is labeled the worst earthquake in history and claimed an estimated one million lives. 8.  Earthquakes kill approximately 8,000 people each year and have caused an estimated 13 million deaths in the past 4,000 years. 9.  An average earthquake lasts around a minute. Aftershocks occur because the displaced fault line and crust is adjusting to the effects of the main earthquake. Larger earthquakes can have aftershocks that last for years. 10.  Tectonic plates move less than 3 inches (17 cm) per year. However, a tectonic plate movement of just 20 cm is enough to set off a major earthquake, such as the 6.9 Kobe earthquake in 1995.   11.  There are four types of faults: normal, reverse, thrust, and strike-up. 12.  Nearly 2,000 years ago, a Chinese astronomer named Zhang Heng (A.D. 78-139) invented the world's first earthquake detector. It could detect earthquakes more than 370 miles (600 km) away. 13.  An earthquake on the moon is called a moonquake. Moonquakes are normally weaker than earthquakes. 14.  The San Andreas Fault is moving about 2 inches a year, about the same rate fingernails grow. At this rate, San Francisco and Los Angeles will be next to each other in 15 million years.   15.  Japan's 9.0 earthquake in 2011 not only moved the island closer to the United States, it also shifted the planet's axis by 6.5 inches. This caused the planet to spin faster and shortening the day by 1.6 microseconds. It also created a massive 186-mile long and 93 mile wide rift 15 miles under the ocean. --ADDITIONAL FACTS-- 16.  Alaska is the most earthquake-prone US state and one of the most seismically active regions in the world Music Name: Genesis Music Artist: SDDx (https://soundcloud.com/sddx) Music Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5VLHoNUQ34 Sources http://www.dosomething.org/actnow/tipsandtools/11-facts-about-earthquakes http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/earth/earthquakes.html http://facts.randomhistory.com/earthquake-facts.html http://earthquakefacts.net/Amazing-Earthquake-Facts.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLa_F7xkdk0 http://science1.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2006/15mar_moonquakes/ Thanks to Logan Kensis at Givemefreeart.com for animations!

Autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the U.S. 11 Insightful Facts About Autism Subscribe ► http://bit.ly/JEWd6G Follow Amazing Facts: Youtube ► http://bit.ly/JEWd6G Twitter ► http://bit.ly/1k5StqI Facebook ► http://on.fb.me/IDTREZ Google+ ► http://bit.ly/18TVRFk Tumblr ► http://bit.ly/1cGd3Kg Delicious ► http://bit.ly/1jQ636A Website ► http://bit.ly/18JYREA 1.  Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and verbal and non-verbal communication, and by restricted, repetitive or stereotyped behavior. The diagnostic criteria require that symptoms become apparent before a child is three years old.   2.  Autism now affects 1 in 88 children; 1 in 54 boys, and 1 in 252 for girls. Boys are nearly five times more likely than girls to have autism.   3.  There is no medical detection or cure for autism. 4.  Between 30-50% of people with autism have seizures. 5.  No one is sure what causes autism. Through twin studies, scientists have determined that autism is a genetically based condition. Autism was originally believed to be a form of schizophrenia brought on by a traumatic experience or bad parenting. This is not the case.   6.  Autism was first described by Dr. Leo Kanner in 1943. He reported on eleven children who showed a marked lack of interest in other people, but a highly unusual interest in the inanimate environment.   7.  People with Asperger syndrome usually have some milder symptoms of autistic disorder. They might have social challenges and unusual behaviors and interests.   8.  Mutations on chromosome 16 have been tied to autism. The glitch is in a DNA region that contains "morpheus" genes, or genes which historically have changed very rapidly as humans evolved. In other words, the same method that helped evolve human intelligence may contribute to autism. 9.  Dogs have been shown to improve autistic children's quality of life, independence, and safety. The presence of a trained dog can reduce aggressive behavior, calm the child, and serve as a link to the child's community.   10.  A very rare subsection of autism, is autistic savant, or savant syndrome, where the person can score average to brilliance levels of IQ in a limited subject. Some examples could be rapid calculation, art, memory recall, and musical ability.   11.  One such savant is Kim Peek, or Rainmain, who can read 2 pages of a book, one with each eye, in about 3 seconds.  And can recall word-by-word of 12,000 books perfectly. Stephen Wiltshire, the Human Camera, can glance at complex city structures (like Tokyo or Rome) and draw a panoramic view from scratch, all from memory. Daniel Tammet can "see" integers giving them unique shapes and colors up to 10,000.  He can also learn languages extremely quickly, speaking 11 fluently. --ADDITIONAL FACTS-- 12.  Autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the U.S. Autism costs a family $60,000 a year on average Music Name: Feel Good Acoustic Ukulele Music Artist: Akashic Records Music Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i32D7g1xUqE Sources: http://www.autismspeaks.org/what-autism/facts-about-autism http://www.autismsciencefoundation.org/quick-facts-about-autism http://www.autism-society.org/about-autism/facts-and-statistics.html http://facts.randomhistory.com/2009/09/21_autism.html http://www.wimp.com/autisticsavant/ http://www.neatorama.com/2008/09/05/10-most-fascinating-savants-in-the-world/#!rz3sI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savant_syndrome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95L-zmIBGd4#t=173 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbASOcqc1Ss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU61gluXhW0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3tHXtN6Dbo Thanks to Logan Kensis at Givemefreeart.com for animations!
