Erdbebenplatte

Step on the platform to trigger an earthquake of different intensities. You can watch film shots taken during a real earthquake on the screen in front of you. The term earthquake denotes quick and short tremors of the earth??™s crust of various intensities. The majority of the most devastating earthquakes are produced by the movement of lithospheric plates, while a less frequent cause is volcanic activity or collapsing of the roof in caves or deep mines. The focus of each earthquake is the hypocentre situated at various depths under the ground from where the earthquake spreads to all sides. Directly above the hypocentre on the earth??™s surface is the epicentre where the shaking is usually most powerful.
