I find it fascinating to see land visibly changing from earthquakes. How is it possible that land mass change so fast?
Recently in my country, earthquakes had been frequent ever since the strongest one happened on June 8th. It was a magnitude of 7.8 that damaged most buildings and shifted a lot of roads. Since then, more quakes started to happen surrounding our fault line. In the seaside areas, there were coastal uplifts that exposed the sea bed. I wondered; how fast did the land lift? It looked so sudden that a new patch of land basically "grew" from the beach. #science source
