Earthquakes Unreferenced date May 2007 An interplate earthquake is an earthquake that occurs at the boundary between two tectonic plate s. If one plate is trying to move past the other, they will be locked until sufficient stress builds up to cause the plates to slip relative to each other. The slipping process creates an earthquake with land deformations and resulting seismic wave s which travel through the Earth and along the Earth s surface. Relative plate motion can be lateral as along a transform fault boundary or vertical if along a convergent subduction boundary or a rift geology rift at a divergent boundary. At a subduction boundary the motion is due to one plate slipping beneath the other plate resulting in an interplate thrust or megathrust earthquake . Some areas of the world that are particularly prone to such events include the west coast of North America especially California and Alaska , the northeastern Mediterranean region Greece , Italy , and Turkey in particular , Iran , New Zealand , Indonesia , Japan , and parts of China .

In this event, a contender and Gladiator face off on a suspended, gyrating circle, each trying to push the opponent off. It was the first original new event to have been unveiled in the various Gladiators revivals of 2008. Rules One Gladiator faces one contender, and on the whistle attempt to dislodge their opponent from the Earthquake ring during the 30 second match. The Earthquake ring, suspended from the arena floor by three cables is twelve foot in diameter and upon the whistle tilts and shakes in different directions. 10 points are awarded if the contender manages to pull the Gladiator off the Earthquake platform even if they are removed in the process . 5 points are awarded if they and the Gladiator are still on the Earthquake platform by the end of the event. A contender or Gladiator still hanging by one of the suspension cables is considered to be on the platform. For a Gladiator win, the Gladiator must remain on the Earthquake platform after removing the contender. Kicking and biting are not allowed. International differences In Britain, if a partipant falls down on the Earthquake platform, they must get up before the end of the match or face disqualification. 10 points are only awarded if the contender manages to dislodge the Gladiator and remain on the platform, or if the Gladiator is the first to the crash mats.
