Jonathan and Abby were by themselves when Moose,their dog, started barking frantically, trying to get Jonathon s and Abby s attention. The ground started rumbling and shaking. Then it started to pour down rain on them. For Abby this was very hard because she had an accident when she was two years old, and it had left her legs partially paralyzed. Abby uses her walker during the day, and she usually crawls at night. Jonathan and Abby are very scared, but Jonathan is very brave and tells Abby to not worry and that everything is going to be all right. Abby is very frightened, but she tries to calm herself by singing some songs that she knows. The earthquake stops, but the water is very high and there are trees down all over the place. The kids get on trees so they can stay afloat on the river. Jonathan and Abby are going down the river to see if they could get to shore.

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 .
