Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists believe that the surface of the earth is covered by a number of moving plates. Sometimes two plates move towards and push against each other. Sometimes they stop for years but at other time they jump and an earthquake is left. Because of the movements of these plates, California, China and Japan have a lot of earthquakes. You can see the result in San Francisco where the Pacific plate meets the North American plate. When the 1906 earthquake happened, the Pacific plate jumps 5 to 6 metres to the north.

地震为什么会发生呢?科学家认为,地球表面覆盖着一些可移动的板块.有时候两个板块朝彼此移动并推动彼此；有时它们停止移动若干年,但接下来它们猛地滑过彼此边缘,这时候就会有地震.正是因为这些板块的移动,加利福尼亚,中国和日本都会有许多地震.你可以看到得是,当时旧金山地震就是太平洋板块和北美板块相遇的结果.当1906年地震时,太平洋板块向北跳跃了5到6米.
