6. If you fell into a crack caused by an earthquake where would you land?


Cracks in the Earth caused by earthquakes are not very deep. If you fell into one, chances are that you could just stand up and climb out. Falling into a crack is the absolutely least likely way that you could be injured by an earthquake. For the most part it's buildings and other man-made structures that cause injury during an earthquake.

Thanks to Mr John Lahr of the USGS for his help with our project!
